I like this place it is on the Harbour Front and the prices are reasonable the food is always good.
Walk along the Harbour and see some of the most beautiful ships
Also you can schedule some of the excursions from the hotel next door
Things to try here would be the Conch Salad
I also like the Tropical Conch Salad without the strawberries
