Fodor's Review:

At the Grace Bay Club, this palapa-shaded restaurant has become a favorite of the country's chief minister. But despite the regular presence of government bigwigs, the restaurant continues to offer a memorable dining experience minus the tie, the air-conditioning, and the attitude. Start with a bottle of fine wine; then enjoy the light and healthy Mediterranean-influenced cuisine. The kitchen utilizes the island's bountiful seafood and fresh produce. Oil lamps on the tables, gently revolving ceiling fans, and the murmur of the trade winds add to the Edenic environment. The entrancing ocean view and the careful service make it an ideal choice when you want to be pampered. It's a good thing the setting is amazing; portions are tiny, so you're paying for ambience. Just added: the world's first Infinity Bar, which seems to spill right into the ocean. Children under 12 are not allowed. Long pants and collared shirts are required.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

Can't rate the food here because I never got to eat. After making reservations and showing up 5 minutes early I waited 40 minutes and spent $35 on two cocktails. When I went to the hostess desk to ask about the table no one was manning it so I decided to leave. The bar manager caught me on the way out and apologized and got us our table, BUT 20 more minutes later no server had approached us so we left again. This restaurant is too expensive to not give impeccable service from start to finish, why REQUIRE reservations if you are not going to honor them.

We visited Anacaona in January 2008. The food here was quite a disappointment. Appetizers and entrees were mediocre, at best. Dessert was frozen and clearly had been made days before and stored. Considering the price paid, this meal was not worth the money. If this restaurant were in NYC, my suspicion is that it would be lucky to get a single star.

The beachfront location was very nice (assuming no rain/wind). Service was mediocre and slow, like so many places in the Caribbean.
