The Tides

Description:

• This former beachfront villa is now occupied by a graceful restaurant that serves fine food. The chef and owner, Guy Beasley, fine-tuned his culinary skills with the Roux brothers in England -- arguably a couple of the top chefs there. Nearly 100 people can dine here at any given time, each enjoying a sea view from the restaurant's lush, candlelit gardens. The chef specializes in seafood but also offers finely honed meat, poultry, and vegetarian dishes. When not appreciating the art collection displayed, you can enjoy crab cakes with a Thai sauce or the homemade Caribbean seafood chowder for starters. Follow with the fresh catch of the day -- grilled, blackened, pan fried, or poached. Other dishes to which we'd award a star include honey-and-mustard-coated roast of lamb with bacon-scented scalloped potatoes, and the chargrilled filet of pork with Mexican rice, citrus juice, and a tangy orange salsa.
