A mother and son team from Milan have created one of Antigua's best dining experiences, complete with fabulous views of the bay. Just getting to this strip of land opposite Nelson's Dockyard is an adventure; take the free boat across the bay or wander through a working shipyard past dry-docked yachts. The menu includes lobster linguine and seared pistachio tuna.
