D' Coal Pot in Carrot Bay is now serving Ginger Wine Chicken. Nancy and I both had it last night. It is a little bit different from the old Palms Delight recipe, but it is very good - in fact, it is better. The chicken breast was extremely tender and the breading was delightfully light.

It was served with steamed veggies, garlic mashers, and fried plantains.

We also had dinner at the new location a couple of weeks ago. That night, they had pan fried fresh local snapper on the specials board. It was fantastic.

The new location is very comfortable. It is right on water, and it is almost always comfortably breezy there. It was rainy last night, we sat next to one of the open windows on the windward side, and we were dry.

To sum it up, they have stepped up a couple of levels from the old Apple Bay location without at all being pretentious.

If you have an opportunity, give it a try!
