Breezes by the Bay

Frommer's Review

The "rhum deck" of this tropical grill draws a lot of cruise-ship passengers, as it lies right on the harbor -- it's also idyllic for a sundowner. Happy hours on Friday and Saturday evenings are some of the most popular in the capital. There is food, too, which is served in a more formal atmosphere upstairs.

The chefs pride themselves on baking what is generally assumed to be the best conch fritters on the island. Conch also appears in a chowder (similar to New England clam chowder but the meat is more rubbery). Marinated conch is a first for some visitors, and it's quite good, as are the West Indian crab cakes. Fishermen bring in the day's catch, which might be your best bet. You can also order a lot of standard fare such as smoked ribs, Jamaican jerk chicken, and fish and chips. Ever had shrimp cooked with sugar cane? Now's your chance. Bread and even the luscious ice creams are made from scratch.
