Frommer's Highly Recommended

This is one of the newest restaurants at Our Lucaya. As such, a team of food and beverage experts threw tons of money and research into developing the appropriate blend of Caribbean tradition and postmodern methods of sales and marketing. The result will remind you of the dining room of a massive, colonial Jamaican manor house. Decor is replete with replicas of pineapples (the region's traditional symbol of hospitality), Rastafarian paintings, and elaborately carved mahogany furniture similar to what might have graced the home of a 19th-century Caribbean planter. You'll get a sense of spaciousness and old-fashioned dignity and restraint. Menu items include cracked conch with spicy sauce and sweet potato wedges, grilled sirloin steak with cumin and thyme, blackened grouper with fire-roasted peppers and pineapple sauce, and tamarind-glazed hen. On your way in, check out the Bahamian Junkanoo costume, which hangs like a permanent museum exhibition. Replete with sequins and mystical references, it's one of the most elaborate, outrageous, and costly examples of its kind.
