Dining:
Hemingway's - Perched on the scenic shore of Grace Bay, Hemingway's beachfront restaurant offers a casual atmosphere and elegant open air dining, complemented by a menu full of choices that are anything but ordinary.
Resort guests and morning beach-walkers are drawn to the sweet and spicy breakfasts including vanilla French toast or huevos rancheros with fresh black bean salsa on a lightly seasoned tortilla. There's also everything in between from fresh fruit to traditional eggs benedict to the simple but perfect beachside espresso.
Hemingway's is equally irresistible for lunch, serving an array of gourmet sandwiches, entrée salads and specialties such as soft fish tacos, mango shrimp salad and sumptuously crunchy and fresh veggie pita. Sweet tooth’s will be tempted with choices ranging from key lime pie with a chocolate graham cracker crust to fresh fruit crepes finished with a Grand Marnier caramel and fried ice-cream.
A dinner favorite is the fresh grouper - lightly spiced and pan seared, served with a tequila sauced veggie salsa with charred onions, black beans, corn, carrots and red and green peppers. For another seafood choice try the exquisite lightly sautéed shrimp with delicious pesto cream over penne. For the gourmet palate, try the filet mignon grilled with a fragrant red wine mushroom sauce.
