Frommer's Review

The inspired Creole cuisine and its romantic setting make this restored restaurant one of the island leaders. It's run by the Hopkins family who still use recipes from the founding matriarch who for years was hailed as the island's finest chef, especially in her use of homegrown products. Set in the lush tropical gardens of the Blue Horizons resort, the restaurant offers both elegant surroundings and good service. Begin with the green banana soup (the finest version of this we've had). Lobster is prepared as you like it, and there are such other delights as a pork tenderloin with a spicy peanut sauce or fish mousse. Lunch is taken at poolside.

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.
