PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

This is our top choice for elegant and stylish dining along Cable Beach, and it also serves the island's best northern Italian cuisine. The chefs are well-trained, intuitive, and inventive, as shown by intensely creative dishes that crop up at regular intervals such as lobster macaroni paired with an herb-infused version of lamb-loin souvlakia, or deep-fried calamari stuffed with fresh herbs and feta cheese. The fresh fish of the day is the keynote of many a delectable meal here. A number of other ingredients have to be imported from the U.S., but the chefs still work their magic with them. A meal might begin with Castilian-style garlic soup, or jumbo shrimp sautéed in ouzo, and reach a high point with either a piperade (Basque stew) of lobster or a filet of halibut prepared lyonnaise style with cream, minced onions, and scalloped potatoes. The restaurant offers three flavors of dessert soufflés: The one we prefer is prepared with sweet Marsala wine and fresh strawberries.
