Anyone know if there are any good authentic Jamaican restaurants in Sarasota or Bradenton? I used to live in south Florida and ate at some good ones down there, but haven't seen anything up this way.

A quick google search turned up some place called Higher Heights Restaurant. But I can't find anything else about it. Also saw the website for Jamrocks in Bradenton.

Anyone know of any places?

We also looked up Jamaican when we moved here and found Jamrocks. We haven't been there yet. We will have to try out their jerk and pasties...We are also missing live Reggae music, looking for that, too!

Jamrocks is good, I've tasted there from one of my friends bringing me leftovers. They are out on AMI, last I heard.

Never had Jamaican but LOVE CURRY.

We went to the Gateway of India in Sarasota and it was quite good.

Can anyone suggest where a good Indian hot curry can be gotten? (I hope I am not hijacking this OP)

Thanks I'll check those out. Sounds like Jamrocks is a must-try as well.
