    If the chef isn't familiar with West Indian dishes, I would go with a continental menu. My H & I are from a West Indian background but we served a continental menu that got a lot of raves from our guests. It's generic so there is something for everyone no matter your background.  This is what our dinner menu looked like:

    Salad
    Pasta (great for kids or as a meat alternative)
    Chicken
    Salmon (another meat alternative)
    Potatos
    Dessert

    Just some advice - if the chef isn't familiar with Caribbean food, go with what Mattycam suggested.  There's nothing worse than having a chef try something that is out of their realm - it usually ends up in one of two ways: either it's completely bad or it's suppose to be rice and peas, but they turned into some gourmet dish that no one recognizes.  Keep that in mind.
