OLD STONE FARMHOUSE
Mahogany Run
(340) 777-6277
Expensive
Dinner only
Slightly off the beaten track, on the
manicured grounds of
the golf course, the Old Stone Farmhouse is well worth the
extra drive time. It's set in the restored ruins of a
200-year-old great house that was the hub of a 250-acre
Danish sugar plantation. The owners have retained the
thick walls and burnished the charm of this lovely building
by adding a brick courtyard and gurgling fountains. You can
sip cocktails before dinner in the courtyard or in the main
hall with its grand mahogany bar.
An extensive sushi menu includes tuna, eel, shrimp and avo-
cado rolls, as well as tempura dishes. The general menu in-
cludes hickory-smoked hangar steak, three-day apple-roasted
duck and tamarind-seared salmon. The service and presen-
tation are flawless. The in-house pastry chef bakes a variety
of breads each day as well as delicious desserts. Fruit sor-
bets are a lighter alternative. Dinner 5:30-10 pm Tues-Sun.
Follow Route 40 to Route 42. Follow signs to Mahogany Run
Golf Course and then to Old Stone Farmhouse.

with a white cloth, colorful fresh flowers and flickering can-
dles. Tony Romano, the chef/owner, whose roots are in Sicily,
opened this restaurant 10 years ago and it is frequently
crowded with locals who consider it the best Italian restau-
rant on the island. The menu changes frequently since Tony
