Red Bones Blues Café (noon–11 p.m. Mon.–Fri., 6–11 p.m. Sat., bar menu continues till the last customer leaves) has great albeit pricey food (ranging from US$17 for linguine to US$50 for grilled lobster) and a nice ambience with regular low-key events like fashion shows, poetry readings, and cabaret performances on a cozy stage in the garden.
South Avenue Grill (Mon-Sat 12-10:30 p.m., US$13-36) serves American-style grilled food in an open-air setting with tables shaded by umbrellas set around a reflecting pool. The bar makes a good margarita, but the food quality is average and many menu items, even those based on easy-to-find ingredients like potatos, are routinely unavailable or in short supply.
Susie's Bakery & Coffee Bar (8 a.m.–10 p.m. Mon.–Sat., 9 a.m.–7:30 p.m. Sun.) has prepared foods like lasagna and made-to-order sandwiches, as well as excellent natural juices. The pastries sold at Susie's are all homemade, ranging from mouth-watering whipped cream–filled eclairs to tiramisu and passionfruit cake (US$4–8).
Pallet is a welcome recent addition to Kingston's maturing restaurant scene that serves properly prepared food in a relaxing, informal setting.
Summerhouse (open daily for breakfast 7am-10:30am and lunch 12pm-3:30pm and Wed-Sat for dinner 7pm-9:30pm) is the brick and mortar manifestation of celebrity chef sister duo Michelle and Suzanne Rousseau, made famous in their local food television program Two Sisters and a Meal.
