Blue Macaw

Frommer's Review

In the premises of the Inn on the Blue Horizon, this restaurant serves the best food on Vieques. Also on-site is a bar that a team of journalists declared as one of their favorites in the world, so consider starting your evening with a drink or two in the octagonal Blue Bar. Meals are served within the inn's main building or beneath an awning on a seafront terrace lined with plants. It seems an unlikely choice on a Caribbean island, but the chefs make the best new England clam chowder on island. They also deliver the goods with such enticing dishes as lobster ravioli with a spicy sweet-potato cream sauce and even Greek spring rolls known as Spanakopita. The menu strikes a good balance between such classics as sautéed soft shell crabs with butter sauce or sautéed frogs' legs with garlic butter and more innovative dishes such as a crispy half duck with a ginger-flavored plum sauce. Expect a crowd of fashion-industry folk, temporarily absent from New York and Los Angeles, and local residents, all mixing in ways that are gregarious, stylish, and usually a lot of fun.
