Frommer's Review

The panoramic setting by the sea and the distant vistas of French St. Martin more than match the superb cuisine. A plain wooden structure, the restaurant stands on pilings overlooking a virtual aquarium of fish below. On a hot day, the cold cucumber-and-dill soup is refreshing, as is the cilantro-infused ceviche of local red snapper with plantain chips. Some dishes, like the jerk pork tenderloin, are traditional favorites; others are more eclectic, like the seared Anguillian red snapper with a lime, ginger, and saffron sauce or the grilled loin of tuna with Asian noodles and a compote of caramelized onions. A cilantro, lime, and pecan pesto pasta can be served with your choice of grilled chicken, tuna, or red snapper. For dessert, order the chocolate indulgence -- three types of chocolate in one cake.
