Frommer's Review

Drawing upon the heritage of the early settlers, including the Amerindians and the Spanish, Chef Moses Reuben creates the most imaginative and some of the most tantalizing specialties on island. He has a surprising list of delicacies under his chef's toque, including a main course of succulent filet of chicken breasts to which smoked herring and a fruity tomato sauce laced with star fruit is added. The dish is accompanied by dasheen, a locally popular root vegetable. It is not just his main dishes but also his appetizers that show care for quality produce and taste. Try his curried fresh crab on a shell filled with tasty miniature dumplings. The dish is scrumptious, as are his freshly made desserts that always delight you even as you take in the calories.

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.
