Jasmine Review

Small, boutique-y, and intimate, this is the most upscale and most fussed-over restaurant within the also-recommended Ritz-Carlton Rose Hall Resort. As such, non-residents (some of them hotel insiders themselves from competing hotels) have used a meal here as an excuse to check out the premises of Montego Bay's government-rated five-star hotel. To reach the dining room, depending on which access doors are open at the time, you might have to pass through the rambling length of a less-upscale restaurant, Horizons, next door. Jasmine occupies a jewel-like circular room that, if you squint your eyes and if the illumination is by candlelight, you might almost imagine was transplanted directly from a château in France. Twelve intricately laid tables accent tones of blue-gray and white, and flickering candles set the mood. Additional seating is available on an outdoor veranda. What impresses here is the sense of intimacy, romance, and stylish internationalism. Delectable menu items include Asian spring rolls, a Napoleon of blue crabmeat, Jamaican pumpkin and carrot soup, Singapore-style lobster chili, spice-encrusted loin of lamb, Asian-style grilled filet mignon, and five-spice marinated pork loin.

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.
