Chef-owner Carole Gruson captures the funky, sexy spirit of
the island in her wildly popular hilltop hot spot. We always
come here to dance to great music with the attractive crowd
lingering at the bar, lounge at one of the pillow-strewn banquettes,
or chat on the torchlight terrace. By the time your appetizers
arrive, you'll be best friends with the next table. The menu
includes Thai beef salad, lobster ravioli, rare grilled tuna
with Chinese noodles, and the best beef on the island. Provocatively
named desserts, such as "Nymph Thighs" (airy lemon
cake with vanilla custard) and "Daddy's Balls" (passionfruit
sorbet and ice cream) end the meal on a fun note. Around this
time someone is sure to be dancing on top of the tables. There's
an extensive wine list. The famously raucous full-moon parties
are legendary. Reservations essential. MC, V.
