We were staying at La Source, we decided we would venture out for the evening to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Having previously been recommended by colleagues we decided to try The Aquarium.
On going down the stairs, although early we were warmly welcomed by the staff and were offered either a drink at the bar or the option of going straight to our table. As we were celebrating we decided on a drink at the bar – which is well stocked with premium brands. We had two drinks at the bar – Martini & lemonade and Tanqueray & Tonic – whilst we looked at the menu.
We both decided to go for scallops as a starter and these were expertly cooked. For mains one lobster and one seafood medley was ordered. The lobster is large, fresh and tasty and taken from the shell and placed back into half the shell. The medley included a range of shell fish and fish, again the portion was generous. You have a choice of french fries, rice or baked potato to accompany your dish – we opted for the rice.
A large wine list for a Caribbean restaurant, which had representation from both old and new world, including French, South American, South African and Australian wines, interestingly there were no New Zealand whites – which is a shame as their Sauvignon Blancs are normally a perfect match for seafood. We chose to go for the Louis Latour Chablis – not the cheapest of options.
With the large portion we decided not to go for dessert but had coffee & liqueurs. The service at all times was friendly and efficient, even to the extent that because there were no taxis outside when we came to leave the proprietor took us back to our hotel. All in all a great meal, with good service and I would recommend this restaurant to family, friends and colleagues.
