Dear Friends!
Dining out is a festive way to taste life in the tropics. That’s what this handy pocket-sized publication is all about keeping you up to date with places best suited to your mood, lifestyle and comfort level.
Whether you dream of a romantic meal by the sea or you prefer casual gathering spots, the following pages have been custom designed to spotlight your preferences at a glance.
Return visitors may notice this year’s issue has a fresh new look that makes it easier to navigate. We have also added several first time features including an After Dark Entertainment Section along with Insider Tips and we’re very excited about our 2012 Chef Award!
As a former restaurateur, pastry chef, caterer and event planner, my personal and professional life has been richly rewarding. Now, as a publisher, please allow me to share some of my most flavorful island experiences with you. Oh, and when you visit one of the restaurants in this guide, be sure to let them know you discovered them in the Insider Restaurant Guide.
Happy Dining,
Dorene Carle, Publisher
