Sad to lose Scaramouche. I really enjoyed their food.

You haven't lived if you didn't do dinner at Mrs Scatliffe's house...with the whole family watching.

On JVD I like Alibabas. Tortola, I agree withMal on Gene's and actually Myett's does a pretty fair Roti too.

I never had the opportunity - but I understand, it was always memorable, and came with live entertainment, and the menu consisted of whatever was cooking that day... But - that was in the early 90's... no idea when that ended

It does take some practice to get it right. You have to be careful not to burn the flour bits left from the chicken, reduce the ginger wine correctly and carefully simmer once the cream is added or the sauce will not thicken properly.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain

RIGHT. The d'Coal Pot folks are relatives of the old Palms Delight owner. They promised not to do the Ginger Wine Chicken until Palms Delight closed. Now that it is closed it is on D' Coal Pot menu. At least that is what I was told at the restaurant in March when I had it and it was very good. Needs some work but coming along.

Shell Museum can be a fun and interesting food experience. Rhymer's breakfast is the best and a Malcolm Double Dog at Tony"s is a staple for lunch. Their salmon sandwich rocks too. Had a few nice dishes from the new local chef at Paradise. Rivals Myett's cracked conch. (Myett's cracked conch may be best I ever had ANYWHERE) #1 on the North Shore is Sugar Mill (from someone who wrote a terrible review about three years ago) Bravo Dennis and Mary for saving an icon.

HillsideView said: You haven't lived if you didn't do dinner at Mrs Scatliffe's house...with the whole family watching. About 7 or 8 years ago I was managing a villa and one week the guests were a couple who hadn't been back to Tortola since they had gotten engaged on Long Bay Beach 15 years earlier. They were back with their two young teenage children and they requested a private chef for a night to make a "great local style meal" so I enlisted Johnny Smith, Mrs. Scatliffe's grandson and a good friend, and I acted as his sous chef. As we were preparing their meal in the villa's kitchen, the wife who was renting regaled us with a story about going to Mrs. Scatliffe's for dinner 15 years earlier and having Mrs. Scatliffe's "adorable" 12 or 13 year old young grandson as their waiter. Johnny looked up from the stove and said "that was me!" What a great night that was!

I second the Red Rock recommendation. We had our boat "Goose" moored at Penn's Landing last Feb and ate at the Red Rock several times. Fantastic and great service!
