Frommer's Review

This is one of the newest restaurants at the Westin & Sheraton at Our Lucaya. As such, a team of food and beverage experts threw tons of money and research into developing the appropriate blend of Caribbean tradition and postmodern sales and marketing. The result will remind you of the dining room of a massive colonial Caribbean (probably Jamaican) manor house. Decor is replete with replicas of pineapples (the region's traditional symbol of hospitality), Rastafarian-inspired paintings, and elaborately carved mahogany furniture similar to what might have graced the home of a 19th-century Caribbean planter. You'll get a sense of spaciousness and old-fashioned dignity and restraint. Menu items include cracked conch with spicy Pick-a-Pepper sauce and sweet potato wedges, grilled sirloin steak with cumin and thyme, blackened grouper with fire-roasted peppers and pineapple sauce, and tamarind-glazed hen. On your way in, check out the Bahamian Junkanoo costume, which hangs like a permanent exhibition in a museum. Replete with sequins and mystical references, it's one of the most elaborate, most outrageous, and most costly examples of its kind.
