Henry VIII

Frommer's Review

Set within a stucco-sided, russet-colored building that sits in a prominent position between two of the island's biggest resort hotels, this restaurant feeds and entertains a clientele that's about equally divided between local residents and dining-room refugees from the relatively expensive hotels nearby. There's something that's just a bit cloying about the Tudor theme of the place -- waitresses, some of them Scottish, in long dresses of royal purple, a menu that makes bemused references to Henry VIII's ongoing and oft-changing marriage vows, and a timbered and oak-paneled decor with lots of polished brass. But despite any drawbacks (and indeed, many locals appreciate the venue's warmth and the way it emulates an old-fashioned pub in Merrie Olde England), the food is straightforward and a wee bit less expensive than what you'd find within the more glamorous dining rooms of some nearby hotels. The menu is strong on beef dishes, especially steaks, with some pork and fish choices thrown in for variety. Burgers are available at lunch but not at dinner. Some kind of entertainment, usually a vocalist with a keyboard, begins at 9:30pm every night of the week except Tuesday.
