You knew Caribbean food had soul. But did you ever envision soul food from the Caribbean? If Island Soul,
the newest addition to Columbia City's restaurant row, had an ounce of
pretension, they might start throwing around words like "fusion."
Instead, they're calling their miraculous marriage of Jamaican and
American southern cooking a lucky accident, and everyone else is just
calling it awesome.

Not all of Seattle's great restaurants are new. NWsource presents Seasoned Seattle, an opportunity for you to sample a prix-fixe dinner at the best of the city's old-timers -- Elliott's Oyster House, Salty's on Alki, The Georgian and nine others -- for just $25 a plate. That modest investment gets you an appetizer and an entrée, or an entrée and dessert -- to say nothing of a sense of supporting the old Seattle, the one you fell in love with all those years ago.

The sign outside is so mangled, it offers only a slight indication of what you might find within: a bar, some beef, a dish ending in "ibs," and something that at one bygone time was considered "special." The dilapidated exterior is a shame, because special is exactly how I would describe the food at Rose Petals Restaurant.
