Frommer's Review

The cuisine here is the island's best, as the owner and manager, Gladys Howard, is a graduate of Cordon Bleu in Paris and has studied with such culinary stars as Julia Child and James Beard. Howard has even written several cookbooks of her own. She uses fresh fruits and local vegetables, as well as seafood caught in local waters. She imports as little as possible. The menu changes, but some of its most memorable dishes include a zesty conch and a saffron scallop couscous. Ever had a smoked-salmon cheesecake with a green-onion coulis? Try it. We think you'll like it. Two of the best dishes we've sampled here are the macadamia-crusted mahimahi in a lemon-dill sauce, and the herb-roasted leg of lamb with a burgundy demi-glacé. Desserts are luscious, including a four-layer chocolate cake and a white-chocolate tropical torte.

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.
