Frommer's Review

The most elegant and upscale restaurant on Paradise Island lies within the Marina Village restaurant and shopping compound that's associated with the Atlantis Paradise Island. It occupies a replica of the kind of town house that might belong to a billionaire who happened to live, say, in Martinique and happened to have imported art and antiques from Belle Epoque Paris. This mixture of haute Paris with a French Colonial twist is enormously appealing and especially visible, for example, within the wrought-iron "bird cage" elevator that brings you and your party upstairs to the dining room. We propose that you begin your meal in the supremely comfortable bar area -- the kind of place where Charles de Gaulle might have been feted during one of his official visits to his departements d'outre-mer. The carved mahogany antiques are pure French Caribbean, the upholsteries scream "upscale Paris," and the food items communicate "luxe." In the tastefully posh dining area, masses of flowers, cheese and dessert trolleys, and 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, but in consideration of the upscale nature of the place and the air-conditioned environment, no one seems to object. Begin with such delectable items as foie gras or caviar, perhaps smoked salmon. The main courses are limited, but each dish is sublime, especially the lobster thermidor and the Dover sole meunière. The chefs are known for their grills, everything from prime rib for two to a succulent veal chop.
