Fodor's Review:

Convivial owner Russell Hodge had the brilliant idea of restoring a part of Ft. James, with its glorious views of the bay and headlands, and converting it into a semi-alfresco eatery. Potted plants, jazz on the sound system (live musicians Sunday), and red or black hurricane lamps lend a romantic aura to the beamed, stone-and-wood-terrace. The limited menu—local specialties emphasizing seafood—includes fabulous chunky conch fritters and whelks in garlic butter. Russell's sister Faye co-owns Papa Zouk, while sister Valerie runs Shirley Heights Lookout; the Hodges might well be Antigua's first family of food.

This still is the place to be on the West coast on Sunday night. The setting is congenial with locals and tourists mixing and enjoying very good music, beverages and a lovely historical setting. Russell is a kind and friendly proprietor.
