Hemmingways: Don't Miss the Conch Fingers
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant Name: Hemmingways

    This is a lovely restaruant located in the Sands hotel. YOu will eat on a deck overlooking the ocean and be pleasantly surprised by the variety of locally-prepared seafood dishes. Go, like I did, on Tuesday night to enjoy "Caribbean Night" complete with traditional dishes and live music. Thursday also has live music, although fewer "local" options on the menu.

    Favorite Dish: The Creole grouper was very good, but the highlight was the appetizer of conch fingers (not fritters) that were light, delicate and scrumptious!

    Aqua Restaurant: Fresh Seafood and Good Prices
  • Tip Rating:

  • Restaurant Name: Aqua Restaurant

    Locals seem to agree that this is a very good seafood restaurant near the Turtle Cove Marina. The bar is full of locals having drinks after a day of "work" and the tables fill up by 8:00. Get there early and pick a table overlooking the docks for more ambiance.

    Favorite Dish: Pecan-crusted conch is terrific, as are the conch fritters.

    Danny Buoy's: An Irish Pub
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant Name: Danny Buoy's

    This is a fair choice for a break from seafood, but -- in my opinion -- not up to it's billing. Perhaps those who claim to love it just need a break from delicious locally-prepared meals .... The decor is a classic Irish pub and it was O.K., but not great.

    Favorite Dish: I hear the burger is "great" but can't say for sure. I got the Irish Stew, which was recommended, but definitely not that good. The biggest disappointment, however, was that the beer was served in bottles and only lukewarm due to a lack of "real pub glasses" (at a pub?!?!) and a broken tap line. Hmmm.

     Isn't T&C great!!! I loved it there, both topside & down below. Did you do a stingray dive there? (looks like frm your pic). If so, that must be something new & I hope you say yes so that when I return I can do a stingray dive :-)

     So how many pages is the book about T&C - 6? ;-) Trust you had a great time, Karl
