Here at Round Hill in Jamaica there are not alot of dining options as the dining room is the terrace and then some nights, they offer beach BBQs or curry night, but we wanted to dine here on our first night as we were exhausted from the trip.
The four of us settled in and were shocked by the wine prices as everything was over $80...even a bottle that sells for $14 in the USA! Add tax and service charge of 18% to everything and it gets pretty high. We loved the Chardonnay from Turk Winery in Kerschbaum in Austria and also the yummy red blend from Josh Cellars called Josh Legacy which was listed as 2020 but delivered as 2022.
The "Ebanks Farm" Carrot soup was yummy but had more flavor from the Ginger, & Turmeric than the carrots. The "Whitehouse" Seafood Casserole was listed as Shrimp, Crab, Smoked Marlin, Lobster, Coconut Cream, Chives and Pasta and the latter was the major ingredient with a huge glob of cheese on top. It was a filling starter, and Will chose it for his main but his had even less seafood than mine! They took the charge off for him.
The Snapper main with native coconut callaloo, succotash, tomato, okra, corn, fresh herbs and lime came in a tad too dry and the "St. Mary's" Green Plantain Mofongo with cream sauce, akee and Scotch bonnet peppers had a nice kick and was a pretty good veggie dish, but did not get raves.
Dessert was passionfruit sorbet, a kicky Scotch Bonnet Ice Cream and my Honey Thyme Panna Cotta with Brandy Snapp, Yogurt Creme Anglaise and Honey was refreshing.
We shall see what another resort down the coast has to offer this evening.
