Pago Pago Review

The elegant beige-on-beige decor features dark-wood plantation-style window louvers. The framed botanical sketches adorning the walls add sophistication, while the restaurant's multitiered spaciousness whispers luxury. Expectancy and promise hang in the air, fueled by the dramatic first course: jumbo lump crabmeat, served in a martini glass and topped with Russian dressing. The Savannah crab cakes and tropical shrimp cocktail (seasoned with a refreshingly tart mango relish) also score. But they can barely hint at the appeal of the main courses: seafood treasure -- scallops, shrimp, and lobster in a creamy Thermidor sauce, and succulent Black Angus steak marinated in garlic and herbs. The climax? Hands down, it's the delectable white chocolate mousse that's served in a delicate nest spun of pecan brittle.

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.
