Fodor's Review:

The Hoffman family (Muffin and/or son Tim and daughter-in-law Meredith) presides over a scintillating evening, starting with canapés and cocktails in the civilized Great Room. Dinner is served on the breezy west verandah, which gazes serenely upon the lights of Charlestown and St. Kitts. The inventive executive chef, Janice Ryan, utilizes the inn's organic herb gardens and fruit trees to full advantage. The changing three-course menu might present crispy seafood cake tinged with lemongrass and ginger floating on coconut-lime sauce, crab- and spinach-stuffed chicken breast over breadfruit mash in fines herbes sauce, and a proper herb-crusted rack of lamb in rosemary mustard jus. Meredith has crafted an exemplary wine list perfectly matched to the cuisine. The Mill opens on certain nights with sufficient reservations, offering a different set four-course menu accompanied by champagne and sorbets. Torches light cobblestone steps up to this theatrical faux sugar mill with crystal sconces, floating candles, and an antique mahogany gear wheel suspended from the ceiling. Simpler lunches (order the lobster salad) are served on the refreshing patio.
