Fodor's Expert Review Johnny CocoNat

It's difficult to find a more enchanting spot for a casual meal than this open-air patio painted natty nautical blue and white overlooking the old Admiralty and boats traversing English Harbour while jazz mingles with the gentle surf. The food is music to discriminating palates, artfully presented on bright, contemporary plates, utilizing fresh local ingredients wherever possible. The subtle interplay of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors, and textures is evident in the nearly 20 creative pizzas and such standout specials as mango gazpacho, wahoo carpaccio with raspberry vinaigrette and dill foam, and four-seafood ravioli (each large square a different color, enfolding its own marine delicacy). Day and night, the lively little spot percolates with happy chatter and good strong espresso, thanks to Nat, the animated owner, who swans among the tables with irrepressible high spirits.
