Fodor's Review:

This longtime institution rebuilt after Hurricane Ivan, effortlessly blends upscale and down-home. The interior gleams from the elaborate light-and-water sculpture at the gorgeous mosaic-and-mahogany entrance bar to the plush booths with subtly embedded lighting. You can drink in the remarkable water views through large shutters, but for maximum impact, dine on the multi-tiered patio. New-fangled variations on old-fashioned cuisine include lobster-stuffed conch fritters, turtle ravioli over braised ginger-tinged red cabbage in Cognac pepper cream sauce, and green-plantain-encrusted grouper atop sweet-and-sour spring onions and black bean guacamole. You can also go traditional with definitive, tender conch salad; curried chicken roti; and jerk steak. Locals flock to Sunday brunch, Monday's DJ-fueled all-you-can-eat barbecue bash, or just hang out at the wildly decorated dockside Macabuca tiki bar (fab sunsets, sunset-hued libations), which lives up to its mellow name, indigenous Taíno for "What does it matter?"
