Thanks for a great evening Mark! It was another memorable meal by which we will fondly remember you and Antigua.
As for "le cheque", all I can say is"If you have to ask, do not go there."!
Sadly we are going home today Looking forward spending some "Funtime" at your remodelled and "much improved" airport. Mark, thanks for your help and friendship. See you soon! Charles & Donna P.

Thanks Mark, Le Bistro is certainly one of my favourites. Chef Patrick maintains a very high standard at all times and Phillipa (maitre d') and Duke (head barman) look after you well. In fact, she has a wicked sense of humour. Yes, it's fine dining indeed but I think the price range is equal to five other restaurants in that quadrant of the island.

Hi Doug!
I wonder if you could name the other five restaurants mentioned above. It's fun to do "culinary research" with a friend like Mark, who is certainly an expert on the subjects of food, wine and travel. We hope to visit a few more of them in the future. Many Thanks, CharlesP

Hey Charles, I tend to judge relative price levels by finding a common item on menus. Best guide is rack of lamb which ranges around 95 - 105 EC at these places if this tired old memory is accurate. So I reckon they are all fine dining, some I prefer more than others. The list: Le Bistro, The Cove, Coconut Grove, La Bussola, Leah's, The Bay House.

HI Doug!
Thanks for the the info. Guess I just have to continue my research on the Antigua Cuisine Scene, till I either go broke and/or can't fit into any of my clothes. But it is such much FUN!
