Frommer's Review

Some of the best and most savory Italian-inspired cuisine is served at this waterfront bistro, which opens onto the beach at Cruz Bay. The lunch menu features lighter fare, including minestrone, Caesar salad, and pizzas (including one made with roasted vegetables). During dinner the menu becomes more elaborate with a selection of antipasti, including pear, Gorgonzola, and toasted walnuts over baby greens, plus the usual selection of pizzas. Savory main dishes include the likes of a rosemary-marinated chicken breast in a soft polenta or seared pepper-crusted tuna steak with crushed peppers. Our favorite pasta is the linguine with loads of clams in a garlic broth.

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.
