Fodor's Review:

Classic European cuisine with a Caribbean influence is delicious (the potato-crusted tuna is particularly good), but it's the outdoor, romantic atmosphere -- the best on the island -- that justifies the high prices here. The setting is the Petra Plantation House, which dates from 1908 and is a favorite for weddings. Sparkling lights adorn the covered, oceanside gazebos and spacious patio, or you can dine indoors, where a pianist provides the perfect music. (It's sometimes difficult to talk, however, if you're close to the piano.) The service is stellar and the wine list noteworthy (though wine prices are high). Grand Old House now serves lunch on weekends, when you can choose from two prix-fixe menus, making it a good choice for leisurely dining and for kids.

A WONDEFUL COMPLEX DINING EXPERIENCE

Posted by galvestonjt from texas on 2/27/08
Without reservation, I recommend this restaurant. A world class dining experience. The macadamia nut crusted fish was the best fish dish I have ever eaten. We loved the place so much, that we returned the next night. Next night, I enjoyed an Indian dish (apparently the chef is Indian) that was spectacular. The place looks like a plantation. The service was excellent. It is very expensive, but well worth it.

Wonderfully Romantic and Great Food

I can not begin to describe how wonderful dinner was at the Grand Old House. You should keep it as "Fodor's Choice."
