Hunter House

Hunter House Review

Built in 1910 as a family beach house, this renovated brick home with its wraparound veranda offers an intimate dining experience with a dose of Victorian ambience. Owner John Hunter operates one of the island's most consistently good restaurants, and that consistency has continued since the 1980s. Seafood dominates the menu and includes deliciously creative dishes such as a cognac-laced seafood bisque and ahi tuna with a bourbon soy glaze, nori, and a wasabi drizzle. Meat eaters need not despair: chicken and steak options are available, and the restaurant offers a delicious pot roast as the perennial house special, served with mashed potatoes and gravy, red cabbage, carrots, and green beans, which remains the cheapest main course. The key lime tart is the perfect finish.
