Carribean Harry’s

When a new place opens on Decatur Square, we’re always hopeful that it will be our next favorite. These guys (open maybe a month?) aren’t there yet.
In the space that was formerly Birdie’s, there’s a big bar downstairs and a glass-​walled dining room upstairs. We opted for the window seat.
The menu was typical Caribbean with plenty of seafood options. Our Conch Fritters came with 2 sauces: a banana ketchup and a curry mayo. Both were tasty. My coconut shrimp were well prepared but the accompanying rice and black beans were bland and boring. Scott enjoyed his Calypso shrimp which were sautéed in a garlic cream sauce. We were both disappointed with the veggies: frozen, soggy and tasteless.
Initially service was attentive but fell off after we got our food. One pet peeve of mine is waiting for the check. And yes, we waited. So, until we hear from others that Harry’s has gotten over its flaws, I doubt we’ll be back.
