Best Restaurant Picks
 
Hello,
As posted before this week we are going to T&C the end of February.
I have made reservations at Simba for the 1st evening (we are staying at the T&C Club).
For those of you who have been to T&C recently would you take a minute a list off your favorite restaurants either high end or local fare...looking at a list of restaurants on a web site is overwhelming and reviews not always up to date or on the mark.
I'd be grateful!!!

Expensive--Coyaba at Coral Gardens and Magnolia Wine Bar and Restaurant at Mirimar in Turtle Cove. Wonderful food atmosphere and service. Well worth it.

Moderate--Bay Bistro at Sibonne, Aqua in Turtle Cove and Coco Bistro

Less expensive. Barefoot Cafe and Calico Jacks in Ports of Call shopping plaza.

If you have a car drive out to Blue Hills and have cracked conch for lunch at Da Conch Shack--formerly Bugaloos.

Magnolia was a long drive and not worth it for me...my favorite was Coco Bistro. I also loved Anacona, we enjoyed having drinks and appetizers there watching the sunset on the ocean. Beautiful. Hemmingway's at the Sand's is nice for a lunch or even a dinner as it's also right on the beach.
We also liked Coyaba.
Enjoy! It's beautiful.

Carpe--See my last post on the 25th Anniversary thread. Also I forgor to mention Tiki Hut on the pier in Turtle Cove. Nice for lunch or dinner. Don't recommend going on Wed which is the $15 Chicken and Ribs night. It's a zoo. Sharkbite in Turtle Cove is basically a bar with a video arcade/game room in back. You can sit out on the deck by the water. Recommend the conch as an appetizer and the almond encrusted grouper in a coconut rum curry sauce. About $14. At Coco Bistro if they have it the Grouper in puff pastry is excellent.

Hi,
Lots of good suggestions. Thanks to all for spending the time to write in!
We usually rent a car but we are thinking of not doing that this time. Does anyone know a web site with a map of Provo that includes locations of restaurant and hotels? I haven't been able to find one.

you'll find that map at www.aquamarinebeachhouses.com go to their FAQ page and scroll to map of provo. once at the airport you can get a good map too.
while provo is quite small things are pretty spread out so you may need to reconsider no rental car.
t&c club is fairly new so i think there will be considerable interest in a trip report when you return.
