Salt Rock Grill & Sushi Bar STEAK & SEAFOOD/SUSHI At the old Loyalty
Inn in Somerset, this restaurant has a panoramic terrace overlooking Mangrove Bay.
It's a good choice for watching sunsets. The chefs are skilled at cooking Bermuda
lobster, locally caught fish, and certified Angus beef. The price of lobster and the
Angus beef depends on market conditions. There is also a sushi bar with more than
100 choices. Many locals come here to sit in the bar and watch live sports on the
TVs. Daily innovative specialties are a regular feature. Some of the best sushi selec-
tions include a Tsunami platter containing eight pieces ranging from yellowtail to
crab and smoked eel. Another specialty is a Korean barbecue roll with thin slices of
prime rib and a sweet potato tempura. Live music is a feature Friday to Sunday from
7:30 to 11pm.

SOUTHAMPTON PARISH
Very Expensive
Newport Room FRENCH The Newport Room is unequaled in its sump-
tuous but subtle decor and succulent French cuisine. Set within the main core of the
Fairmont Southampton, it's on the short list of the best restaurants in Bermuda. The
only nearby establishment that can compete with it is the Waterlot Inn, which lies in
a seafront annex that's part of the same resort. The Newport, however, is much
grander and much more formal. The dining room, entirely paneled in teak and rose-
wood with nautical brass touches, suggests the interior of a yacht. A maitre d' sta-
tioned beside a ship's compass greets diners at the entrance, and the service is
attentive. In the center of the room are exact miniature replicas of two of the former
winning sailboats from the Newport-Bermuda Race.
Settle into a leather armchair and prepare yourself for what just might be your most
memorable meal in Bermuda. The regularly changing menu reads like a textbook of
modern gourmet cuisine; it might include lamb cassoulet or crab-crusted grouper. The
kitchen uses the freshest and best ingredients in its carefully prepared, artfully pre-
sented dishes. The wine list includes a wide array of international selections, all
served in Irish crystal.
At the Fairmont Southampton, 101 South Shore Rd. &   441/238-8000. Reservations required. Jacket
required, tie recommended. Main courses $35-$62; fixed-price menus $85 for 3 courses, $95 for 4
courses, tasting menu $110. AE, DC, MC, V. Daily 6:30-10pm. Usually closed Oct-Mar. Bus: 7.
Waterlot Inn STEAK & SEAFOOD Less formal than the Newport, and
with a more spontaneous and less rigid staff, this is one of our all-time favorites for a
special night in Bermuda. The service is alert, and the culinary repertoire is inven-
tive—doubly impressive given the large number of diners every evening.
