Overlooking North Sound from an elegant, tiki-style pavilion, the resort's hill-
top restaurant is about as highfalutin as it gets. The four-course set menu changes daily, but
honey-coated shrimp brochette or lentil-cream-sauced, ham-wrapped salmon are examples
of what to expect. A swig of house port wraps up the affair. Reservations are mandatory,
and there's a dress code (trousers and collared shirt for men). The resort's free ferry picks
up restaurant guests at Gun Creek at three-quarters past the hour.

fast, lunch & dinner)
Oven-fired pizzas and burgers are the domain of lunchtime, while
New Zealand lamb, lobster ravioli and mahi mahi on coconut risotto are some of the items
filling plates for dinner, accompanied by something from the hearty wine list. The Friday
night pig roast, with stilt dancers and live music, attracts throngs of locals and visitors. The
restaurant sits beachside and provides nice views of the water.
Drinking
Saba Rock Bar

Saba Rock is a very cool place for a drink, especially during happy

from the RMS
Rhone
. Also, keep an eye out for big fish and turtles lurking in the water
by your table. Food is served here, but the bar is what you're after. Come over on the free
ferry from Gun Creek or Bitter End (call 284-495-7711 to arrange a pickup).
