This is where guests at the local town inns head for a day at the beach. It's a 4-minute, $3 ferry ride across the harbor from Christiansted, at Hotel on the Cay. While here, you don't want to go back into town for lunch, so the hotel has wisely decided to accommodate its many day visitors by offering this quite acceptable restaurant. It offers the usual array of salad platters, sandwiches, omelets, and burgers, but many main dishes are more elaborate and appealing, especially the grilled filet of mahimahi (or swordfish); the conch in a lemon, garlic, and butter sauce; and the barbecued ribs. The excellent Tuesday-evening West Indian barbecue costs $27 for all you can eat (kids eat at a 50% discount); steel band music, limbo, fire eating, broken bottle dancing, and the Mocko Jumbie stilt dance accompany the feast.
