Frommer's Review

This pavilion a few steps from the edge of the sea, on the northwestern part of the island, fulfills anyone's fantasies of a relaxed but classy beachfront eatery; its doors open to the breezes and its walls are brightened by local murals. All the breads and desserts, including ice cream and sorbet, are made fresh daily on the premises. You might start with Barnes Bay lobster cakes and homemade tomato tartar sauce, or creamy conch chowder flavored with smoked bacon and chockfull of onions and potatoes. Grilled local crayfish is splashed with lime, curry, and coconut; chicken is barbecued with rum; and snapper filet is marinated in a soy-sesame-tahini mix, but the simple grilled fish with lemon-and-herb butter shines. If you want to dine with (or without) music, find out whether live music is planned during your visit.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
