Rusalka Restaurant & Bar (upstairs at the Errol Flynn Marina, cell tel. 876/715-5756 or 876/298-8773, 11 a.m.11 p.m daily) specializes in Central Asian and Russian cuisine; the menu changes every few weeks but the most popular dishes are served consistently. Appetizers include grilled feta cheese and beetroot salad served with warm crostinis (US$5), rice pilaf with chicken and raisins (US$15), stroganoff served with olive oil mash and buttered vegetables (US$15), and pelmeni, pork and beef minced and wrapped in dough and served in a clear chicken broth accompanied by olive bread, sour cream and salad, or mayonnaise and grated cheese (US$20). Rusalka also serves veggie dishes like seasonal vegetable stir-fry (US$10). Jamaican classics on offer include steamed yellow snapper in a butter sauce served with parsley white rice (US$1525), chicken curry served with seasonal steamed mixed vegetables, rice and peas (US$9.50), and jerk chicken supreme (US$11). Live entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays features local groups from Portland and musicians from Kingston and Montego Bay.
