Description

Many things recommend the Jib Room beyond the average price of the entrées ($10.95 for penne a la vodka! $15.95 for a pork chop!). One is owner and attorney Deborah Carpenter-Toye, who comes right over, grabs your hand for a firm shake, and focuses like she's slipping your pertinent info into some brilliantly organized file drawer. A seafaring Caribbean menu includes shellfish stew, mahi fingers with creamy cilantro dip, filet mignon of tuna with orzo, plus comfort-food staples like fried chicken and mac and cheese. The house specialty pistachio poundcake, also sold by the loaf, is to die for.
