Fodor's Expert Review Dasheene

The terrace restaurant at Ladera Resort has breathtaking, close-up views of the Pitons and the sea between them, especially beautiful at sunset. The atmosphere is casual by day and magical at night. Appetizers may include silky sweet-potato-and-coconut soup or Caribbean lamb salad. Typical entrées are "fisherman's catch" with a choice of flavored butters or sauces, shrimp Dasheene (panfried with local herbs), grilled rack of lamb with coconut risotto and curry sauce, or pan-seared fillet of beef marinated in a lime-and-pepper seasoning. Light dishes, pasta dishes, and fresh salads are also served at lunch—along with that million-dollar view.
