Ethiopian cuisine like no other place. Served on large round plates. No utensils allowed here as that's cheating. Atmosphere is wonderful with the feeling you are in a foreign country and eating out. Menu has wide variety including a vegan section. Highly recommend for an interesting night out and good food that is reasonably priced.

FLORIDA:
Captain Charlie's Reef Grill
12846 U.S. Highway 1
Juno Beach, Florida 33408
561-624-9924
This place is unbelievable! You can't see it from the road because it sits sideways in a strip mall next to a beauty shop. Walk in and its like you are at a shack on the beach. The menu is all fresh and the specials are two pages. From cracked stone crab to flash fried bahamian style snapper the menu is eclectic and at the same time comforting. You can try anything here and it will be delicious. Prices are reasonable and you can get great desserts from homemade vanilla ice cream to peanut butter pie!
A casual atmosphere, moderate prices, and succulent fresh fish, any style, are the heart of the place.
You won't be sorry.

If you like a quaint location, a house converted to a restaurant where you dine in separate rooms, and outstanding service and italian food, this is the place for you.

A modern comfort food menu that's right for your pocketbook. From seafood, to beef to chef specials the food is delicious. The service was excellent and attentive and the kitchen displayed a hint toward the Asian. I went there twice in one tripwhich is very good for me and had the Kobe beef burgers (two on the plate). The seared Ahi tuna which was excellent. For dessert it was the flourless chocolate torte, out of this world. Everyone I was with had outstanding meals. Highly recommended.

My favorite is the Fajita Burrito: A soft flour tortilla, stuffed with pot beans, rice, grilled onions and green peppers, with either chicken or beef, garnished with lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream and guacamole. With brick arches, sombreros, and Mexican rugs for the decor, you'll feel like you've stepped into another country...Mexico.
