I have to say that I was not impressed with North. I also doubt it would be in my budget...

I am looking to cater a seminar on sustainable, organic and healthy foods.
Does anybody have any suggestions? I am on a budget so I didn't even bother calling Blue Hill.
Thank you!

4 days in Nevis

Just returned from a week in Nevis. I highly recomend Coconut Grill (a must), Golden Rock and Bananas (another must). Dont forget Sunshine's for lunch and their Killer Bees for lunch. We hadn't been back since the hurricane was extremely disappointed in the four seasons (that's where we stayed) and cannot recomend any of their restaurants. We also ate at Nesbit Plantation (a very old menu not worth it) but a great staff! Montpelier was also not worth it, in fact a chef from the Four Seasons ate there the same night and had the same reaction- limited menu - and what was the chef thinking of what he did have on the menu?! The food is pricey at all the restaurants I mentioned so it's a waste of time and money to bother with any of the restaurants I couldn't recomend. Just my opinion (and the 3 other people I was with-fresh from Nevis! Franju

Trying to decide between Crispo, Carmines or Blue Smoke any thoughts?

we are celebrating a 60th birthday, 14 people about $50/pp without tax beverage or gratuity. No Chinese or Asian food. Not crazy about loud restaurants would prefer private area or garden. Birthday is June 16th. Would appreciate any and all input!
