Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

In terms of cuisine, this is the most ambitious restaurant in Montego Bay. It occupies a prominent ochre-colored building along Montego Bay's "Hip Strip," in the heart of town. Inside, the decor is reminiscent of a stylish restaurant you might find in Miami, with dark wood trim and a floral, slightly Florentine twist. There are two distinctly different venues within this place that include a posh-looking and deliberately upscale bar and a restaurant. Here, menu items are carefully researched, more "fussed over" than anything within any other restaurant in the neighborhood, and artful. Examples include a country veal and pork pâté; a terrine of grilled vegetables; a "gateau" of smoked marlin and ackee (the national fruit) served with bammy (cassava) bread; and a whole baked lobster that's removed from its shell, diced, and mixed with diced scallops, crabmeat, and shrimp and then put back into the lobster shell.
