Frommer's Review
This is one of our favorite restaurants in Grenada, a whimsical, offbeat place that represents aspects of the West Indies and the funkiest charms of the homelands (England and Germany) of its owners. If Peter Pan were to design a Grenadian lair for himself, it would probably look like this combination of grotto and forest canopy with decking. It's the only custom-excavated restaurant on the island, carved as it was into a location midway between a cliff face, a jungle, and the beach. The menu is flavorful but unpretentious. Examples include calalloo cannelloni with Parmesan in a cream sauce, spanakopita (Greek-style puff pastry with callaloo and pesto), scallops wrapped in bacon with a bitter orange sauce, Creole curried chicken, and a pumpkin-and-ginger soup. Although this restaurant occupies a shadowy spot under a canopy of trees, a sun-flooded beach bar is steps away.

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.
