Bloomfield Great House

Frommer's Review

This is the only restaurant in town that's viewed as a destination in its own right. Serving excellent food in an intricately restored setting of historic interest, it's a hangout for the town's expatriate Australians, Brits, Americans, and Scandinavians. Surrounded by 2 hectares (5 acres) of landscaping, it's perched on a hilltop about .4km (1/4 mile) south of the town's commercial core, in a verdant residential neighborhood of upscale private homes. Start off with a drink in the cozy mahogany-trimmed pub before dining on the rambling veranda (with views that sweep out over the town), or a high-ceilinged dining room with colonial-style trim and moldings. Superb menu items include charbroiled filet mignon with sherry sauce and crispy onions, and a delicious version of jumbo shrimp stuffed with jalapeño pepper, wrapped in bacon, and served with barbecue sauce. The pastas are house-made. New menu items include the house specialty, a seafood stew, chock full of shrimp, calamari, and fish in a spicy tomato sauce, known as "Neptune's Delight." Reef and Beef (beer-battered shrimp with filet mignon); chicken Cordon Bleu, and an all-Jamaican version of roasted oxtail with beans are other temptations.
