"They've perfected plantains at Rain, and just the plantains alone is why I'd recommend anyone visit Rain eatery. They're nice and crisp on the edges, and perfectly buttery and syrupy in the center, making each bite a satisfying mix of savory and sweet. This was an unexpected but welcome surprise at this little blink-and-youd-miss-it eatery that has tested my patience with the time it takes to get your food. Waiting is entirely worth it if you allot the time, because the chef/owner makes each dish on a little stovetop in the back one dish at a time, but each item I've ever had has tasted lovingly and intentionally made. As I write this I'm asking myself why I don't return for lunch more often. I'm pleased that the menu at Rain is entirely pescatarian friendly, made for exactly my palate, with delicious eats with some Southern and Caribbean influence. Protein mains include coconut shrimp, which I thought were amazing, salmon, or snapper. You can order them with any combination of sides, and I loved the mac n cheese, sweet potatoes, sauteed spinach, and of course the aforementioned plantains. The chef even threw on some extra sauteed asparagus for me which was a nice and healthy addition to my really satisfying lunch. I've returned for smoothies and fresh juices and always a side of plantains or two to share with friends. If I haven't emphasized it enough, let me say it once more. These plantains are the best!!"
