Frommer's Review
The most elegant and upscale restaurant on Paradise Island is within Atlantis's Marina Village. It occupies a replica of the kind of town house that might belong to a billionaire who happened to live in, say, Martinique and happened to have imported art and antiques from Belle Époque Paris. This mixture of haute Paris with a French Colonial twist is enormously appealing and especially visible, for example, within the wrought-iron birdcage elevator that brings you upstairs to the dining room. Begin your meal in the supremely comfortable bar area -- the kind of place where Charles de Gaulle might have been fêted. The carved mahogany antiques are pure French Caribbean, the upholsteries scream upscale Paris, and the food items are luxe. In the tastefully posh dining area, masses of flowers, cheese, and dessert trolleys -- not to mention the cuisine of superchef Jean-Georges Vongerichten -- await your pleasure. This is one of the very few dining areas at Atlantis where men are asked to wear jackets; no one seems to object. Begin with such delectable items as caviar or smoked salmon. The main courses are limited, but each is sublime, especially the lobster thermidor and the Dover sole meunière. The restaurant is known for its grills, everything from prime rib for two to a succulent veal chop.
