The Ocean Grill & The Cedar Room

Description:

• Set within the Pompano Beach Club, this pair of restaurants offers well-prepared food and big-windowed views over some of the most dramatic seacoast in the Atlantic. The more cutting-edge and "trendy" of the two is the Ocean Grill, offering a double tier of windows sweeping out over an almost mystical view of the sea, and a la carte seafood dishes that evoke an urban dining enclave in a big city venue of North America. The Cedar Room is more conservative and traditional, with a somewhat more strict dress code and furniture crafted from pre-blight cedar, and focuses on traditional mainstays of the North American and Bermudian diet. Menu items change with the seasons but are likely to include lamb chops marinated in lavender and pink peppercorns served with a port wine sauce; grilled tiger shrimp with a miso and sake glaze; 10-ounce New York strip steaks with a guava-flavored black rum sauce; and a wide array of sinfully rich -- and often artfully decorated -- desserts such as a dark chocolate pyramid.
