Dish glossary

On the menu	What it is	Order it how
Caribbean fusion	Local seafood and produce cooked with wider international technique and plating, rather than a traditional cook-shop plate.	Ask the server which dish uses the day's local catch.

Price check

2026 estimate

locals pay: Mainly a visitor and special-occasion restaurant for residents too; a main course runs roughly EC$60–110 (2026 estimate).
tourist price: Prices are on the menu; check whether a service charge is already added before tipping again.
rule: Ask about the day's fish and vegetable specials — they are usually better value than the printed mains.

Extra on the table	Typical charge	What to do
Service charge	Often 10% added automatically	Check the bill before adding a further tip.

Dietary: what to say

Need	Say or show	Reality here
Vegetarian	Do you have a vegetarian main tonight?	Usually at least one option; call ahead to confirm for a special diet.
Shellfish allergy	I am allergic to shellfish.	A seafood-forward kitchen: mention this when booking, not just when ordering.

Hygiene notes

A sit-down restaurant kitchen; no particular caution beyond normal travel sense.
