my family has stayed at cap juluca 11 times over the years. may we suggest that you skip dinnig at pimms and go to kemina (or what ever they call it this year) or drinks at 6 to 7 that is when the sun sets it is right next door to pimms and just as romantic. the food at pimms is always good but never consistently great. blanchards is great and compares with union square cafe in nyc we usually hit it twice on a ten day trip. hibernia is also great it is on the eastern end of the island about a 35 min drive from cap juluca about 11 miles i think. it would compare to jean- georges resturants maybe even better as its away from the hotels and tends to less crowded and only has maybe 14 tables so the chef really can focus on each dish we usually hit this one twice also. ceder grove cafe has a chef called smoke he is very good used to be at koal keel i would find out if he is still at ceder grove and hit him atl east once. he also has a casual beach resturant called smokkies near cap that is great for lunch and has beach chairs for aftter lunch. altamer resturant is very pretty and has very good french food almost as romantic as pimms but better food and reasonably priced for this vilatel which is very expensive to stay at. tasty is great for lunch and dinner no ambience as its close to the road but the food is great. tha last place is zaras if shamash is the chef there. it is reasonable and his food is very good he works the summer in the hamptons. i hear that the trattoria tramonto is very good but i dont eat italian out as i am italian descent and alwast disapointed. check out //menus.ai for a list of the resturants on the island it maybe a little outdated but give links to the resturants websites. rember its the islands so service is usually at a slowwer pace then nyc but always as accomadating as the can be. enjoy your trip we missed this year because my wife was with chlid and we could not travel.
