Highly anticipated Caribbean restaurant St. James is opening tonight on 14th Street.

“The food at Cane, to draw some contrast, centers heavily on the East Indian influences on our cuisine. We’ve been able to showcase the other prominent influences in our food here,” says Prime. Diners will find some cross-over flavors at St. James, such as a platter with assorted curries and homemade paratha bread. But Prime is excited to highlight West African traditions in callaloo soup topped with fresh crab, salt-cured cod crudo, or “provisions” cooked with salt pork and coconut.

“The use of salt-cured meat and fish is ubiquitous across the Caribbean, and often referred to locals as ‘oil down,’” says Prime. “It was how slaves were able to preserve food, and they’re still an important way to flavor food.”Chinese influences can be found in dishes such as pork prow, steamed buns stuffed with spicy pork. French and Portuguese flavors come through in twice-cooked garlic pork with jus.

. 2017 14th Street, NW. Open for dinner Tuesday through Thursday, from 5:30 to 10:30 PM, and Fridays and Saturdays from 5:30 to 11:30 PM.Take a look at the opening menu here:
