East Review

This is the most gastronomically sophisticated restaurant on Antigua, the kind of upscale Asian-restaurant-cum-celebrity-hangout you might expect from London's West End. You'll push through a pair of antique, intricately carved Thai doors and enter a decor that's dark with tones of crimson. Choose from four different Asian soups; starters inspired by Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam; salads garnished with Thai-style beef, cucumber, and mint; or four different preparations of curry, including an unusual version from Java made with lamb, cinnamon, and cardamom. Main courses include Chinese-lacquered pork with hoisin and chili sauce, or grilled filet of mahimahi with tamarind and lemon grass sauce. The best dessert is a chocolate-and-ginger version of "molten lava," wherein deliberately undercooked chocolate cake is lightened with orange sauce and lemon grass ice cream.

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.
