Frommer's Review
Across from the waterfront, in relatively simple surroundings, this little eatery serves some of the best homemade food on the island. Set at 18th-century ruins at Gallows Bay, it's decorated in bright Caribbean colors. Try to get a table on the veranda with its potted palms. Dig into such local delights as mussels with french fries. Salt-cod fritters, and tasty ones at that, are a specialty. If you drop in for lunch, you can choose from a selection of well-made sandwiches among other offerings, and the pizza oven is kept piping hot at night. Locals end their meal with a taste of the house special, homemade vanilla rum. On Friday nights fresh seafood is a feature. Island families frequent the place on Saturday night.

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.
