Frommer's Review
The only problem with this restaurant is that it's closed every evening (except for large parties), preferring to focus on lunch instead. Set on a dune, close to both the Ocean View Guest House and the Dunmore Beach Club, it was built in 2003 in a traditional, green-painted clapboard-sided design evocative of Harbour Island buildings that are a lot older. Inside, the cuisine is the product of the Bahamian/American couple Jim Black and Julie Lightbourne, who met in Africa while Jim was working in the safari business. Within a brightly painted blue and mostly green interior, with mahogany doors, windows, and bar tops, you'll find a changing menu that, depending on the whim of the owners, might highlight Bahamian, Italian, French, Thai, or Pacific Rim cuisine. The menu might include hummus with grilled pita bread; conch chili (a welcome variation on conch chowder); fresh salads made with tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella; baba ghanouj, the eggplant specialty that originated in Lebanon; quesadillas, including a version stuffed with lobster, shrimp, and tropical fruit salsa; and a flavorful curried chicken salad studded with chunks of apple and served with mango chutney. Grouper filets, prepared in at least two different ways, are usually available as well. The restaurant's name, incidentally, translates from local patois as "gossip."
