MONTEGO BAY,
442 Atwells Avenue, Providence (751-3040).What a welcome addition to Radicchio Row, up there along Atwells Avenue. Dining at Montego Bay is a little like doing the limbo while most folks are dancing the Tarantella, but I bet you won't be able to resist once the steel band starts playing. When you first walk into Montego Bay, lazily circling fans nudge the AC down, as the bar beckons the heat-stricken crawling in like in a mirage cartoon. Crayon colors surround you, and exotic drinks are featured on the menu. For an entree, try the jerk chicken ($14). The chili-based rubbing is not very hot but certainly flavorful, while the chicken is baked to maximize moistness. Watercress, oiled and baked crisp, comes as a side. As for the steel band, it had us dancing on the sidewalk. Fine food and exercise too? What more can we ask for? Full review.
