Profile

Tired of shabby roti joints, Trinidadian expat Charmaine Gumbs left her career as a law-firm account supervisor to open Sugarcane, an upscale pan-Caribbean restaurant of her own. She and her partner Gaspa Rodriguez bring delicacies like steamed-codfish salad and rum-and-thyme-marinated stew chicken to Park Slope. And rotis—Trinidad's most renowned culinary contribution and the best example of the island's considerable East Indian influence—finally get the stylish setting Gumbs always thought they deserved. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

I read some of the previous reviews I have to disagree with the person who said the food is bland. What did you eat on the menu? Have you tried the oxtail, ribs, or shrimp. The potatoe salad and the rice and peas are bursting with flavor. The space is small you could probably sample your neighbor"s food by accident. This is someplace you can have great food and drinks in a laid back environment. It is what it is.

I went to this restaurant with friends Saturday night. Although the place is very small and a little cramped the food makes up for it. The portions were big, the menu had a variety of choices but watch out for the wine! The dinner wine glass is the size of a dessert wine glass. Didn't get a chance to try dessert because I was stuffed but I'll be going back there again. Not a great place for a date because the music is way too loud but perfect for a girls night out.
