Over a Decadent Meal

From a low-light beachside candlelit dinners complete with live pianist at Caribbean Fish House to a more casual, intimate setting at Twisted Cork Café, explore amorousness at its best. The delicacies of the island are an eclectic mix of cooking styles imported from Africa, Europe and Asia. The result? A marriage of local and imported ingredients combined with seafood, fresh produce, American favorites and Caribbean flair to make up a tasty melting pot of flavors and cuisines. A favorite of locals for West Indian cuisine is Glady’s Café, which serves American food alongside traditional goat and curry dishes, among others. To have a quaint, low-key yet and sophisticated American meal, head to The Twisted Cork. Decked out with wine bottles, wood crates and candles, this is the perfect place to try out a glass of wine and to steal a smooch.
