MEDITERRANEAN/SWISS A pub-cum-restaurant, this luncheon
eatery lies within the Clocktower Building's shopping mall at the historic Royal Dock-
yard. It was established and for many years run by a team of expatriate Swiss chefs.
In 2008, other entrepreneurs bought the place, but have kept it pretty much as it was
at the time of their takeover. The setting is casual, and surprisingly nonelaborate—its
sheathing of beige and brown tiles and darkly nondescript furniture don't contribute
to a setting that's particularly cozy. Nonetheless, it's a worthwhile choice for meals
throughout the day, as well as for afternoon tea. An extensive lunch menu includes
fish chowder, roast lamb, fried chicken, beef burgers, salads, sandwiches, and platters
with fish of the day or onion quiche with goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes.

Bonefish Bar & Grill
MEDITERRANEAN/SEAFOOD Overlooking a land-
locked piazza within the Dockyard Complex, this bar and grill offers a diverse menu
that pleases diners who aren't too jaded or too demanding. If you want filling and
satisfying food, it's a suitable choice, though it's not quite on par with the
Frog &
Onion Pub
(p. 96). There are a limited number of tables inside, a fact that encour-
ages most diners to head for the tables on the large piazza outside. Livio Ferigo, the
likable owner, prepares chicken casseroles, rib-eye steaks, lightly braised tuna with
black olives, several tempting pastas, and lots of seafood. There's live entertainment,
usually presented every Monday and Wednesday from 9 to 11:30pm.

Somerset Country Squire Pub & Restaurant
BRITISH/SEAFOOD You'll
pass through a moon-gate arch to reach the raised terrace of this waterside restaurant
in the center of the village. Limestone blocks and hedges ring the terrace; inside, the
dining room is located downstairs. The bill of fare ranges from British pub grub to
fresh local fish to traditional roast beef with Yorkshire pudding. Local Bermudian
favorites and the specialties of the day, including curried mussel pie and fresh Ber-
muda tuna or wahoo, are your best bets. During some months of the year, lobster is
a big deal around here, with much hoopla. Most of the food is fairly routine, but the
chef is especially proud of his Bermuda fish chowder, a tomato-based soup that some
locals consider the best in the West End.
