I know everybody has different tastes and budgets but how does this sound for eating?

We are staying at RWI. Hoping we can walk to 5 of 7.

We loved the chicken pot pie at Danny Bouys. It was wonderful.

Though Hemingways get good reviews, we thought the portions were quite small compared to the other resturants we went to.

One of the best meals we had was at the Gecko Grill. You'll need a car. ]

For cost efficiency and good food try Shark Bites. The only resturant we found that offer beer by the pitcher. Yes, that was important to us.

Don't forget Mango Reef and Coco Bistro.

Coco Bistro is one of my absolute favorites and you can walk there easily. Also Mango Reef right at RWI is very good. I think Danny Bouys and Hemmingways might be a long walk, but the Gecko Grill is very good and within walking distance from RWI.

You can now walk to Coyoba's, it moved to Caribbean Paradise Inn are behind Grace Bay Club, about 10 minute walk from RWI. I would skip Calico Jacks, unless you want to dance in the band which starts at 10. If you want to splurge twice, get rid of Calico Jacks, and go to Grace's Cottage at Point Grace.
The rest of your list seems great!
And one night, even though it's expensive, have drinks (or a drink) at Anocoana before dinner-the setting is stunning!

The Fairways at the Golf Course, they have a great dinner menu and a great Sunday Brunch

Have a great trip and congrats on getting your passports!
We LOVED Coco Bistro.

I agree with the Anacona suggestion. Go for an after dinner drink on Wed Fri or Sat when they have a combo playing for dancing. If I were going to splurge twice would do Magnolia wine Bar and restaurant in Turtle Cove rather than Graces Cottage. Excellent food and great view at night. The almond crusted grouper with coconut run curry sauce at Sharkbite is really good and only about $14. I would do Hemmingways and Tiki Hut for lunch. If you are going to walk after dark make sure you pack a flashlight for safety.

Thanks for all of the replies. I'll let you know how it works out and try to keep a journel.

Revising: After scanning menus in WhereWhenHow (I should not do this when I am hungry)Want Baci cause I like Italian and prices look OK. We don't drink so will save there, and we usually don't get appetisers as we don't eat that much. Anacoana doesn't look too expensive, around $30.00 a plate. If it is as cool as everyone says we will have to try it. How much should we figure besides the menu price for meals? Is the tip/taxes around 25%? Blamona, do you not like the food or atmosphere at Calico Jacks? I had it on my list as the food on the menu looked good, but if it is a loud place I really don't want to got there.

Thanks!

I logged into Google Earth and put pins in for each restaurant we will visit. This should help us see landmarks as we are walking along the beach. Hmmm we should do this for all of the restaurants, Blamona, HowardC? I could email my Google Earth file if anyone is interested. Not sure it it is totally accurate as I got the locations from WhereWhenHow and tried to find them on GoogleEarth.

The best lunch we had was Hemmingway's Mango shrimp salad.Agree with the Anaconea for dessert.Beautiful setting at night around the fire pit.Extremely slow service though. We also enjoyed Gecko Grille.Wasn't thrilled with Coco Bistro.

GoogleEarth is really cool, but lots of changes have happened in T&C that don't show up on it.
I feel the food at Calico Jacks is alright, not bad. It's more of a hang out place-bands on fri night start at 10pm!
Anocoana has a gorgeous setting, but the food is not as good as Magnolia's, Grace's Cottage, or the best on the island-Coyoba's. While the entrees seem to be around $30, add 20% service charge/tip (They usually add the 10% service charge, but you need to suppliment the extra 10%.) Also keep in mind, you don't get free refills of any drink, including tea there. They probably charge $3 for each refill of tea for example. The portions in Anocoana are small, and not quite as tasty as Coyoba's, Magnolia's, or Grace's Cottage. Expect around $150 without a bottle of wine. (Maybe a beer or two.) That's why I recommend it for before (or after) dinner drinks, the atmosphere is the best in the Caribbean.
My opinion, but Gecko Grill has been hit or miss for me. Sometimes it's good, sometimes just okay.
Hemmingways for lunch is perfect-they have excellent fish tacos and fish and chips.
Danny Bouys may be a little of a hike, but there are sidewalks all the way.
Of course, people have different tastes, and different experiences-above is only mine! ;-)

We were not impressed with Hemingway's for dinner. Nice atmosphere, but the food was fair. I would second the Coyaba, Anacaona, and Magnolia recommendations. They were all far better. And I have to say that our meals at Anacaona were quite good. We also enjoyed Grace's Cottage.

Add SIMBA Restaurant at the Turks & Caicos Club (west grace bay) to that list. Caribbean food and shrimp tempura to die for!

If you love Italian food and garlic you will love Baci. We loved it and the prices are so reasonable!
