Hot Hotel Eats: Ritz Carlton's Blue

While the Westin Casuarina didn't measure up to one guest's expectations, the Ritz Carlton's Blue Restaurant nabbed a mention in Travel + Leisure's top six hotel restaurants to check out.

What makes this restaurant so good is that the hotel uses 20 local fisherman to catch its seafood. The chef, Eric Ripert, also handpicks the staff, who will cook any of your catches from your deep-sea fishing adventures.

The food is French Caribbean and T+L recommends the bouillabaise which "becomes rich lobster safron fumet lapping at an aioli crabcake. The hotel also has four other restaurants, including 7 which our tipster says has a Make-your-own caesar salad bar and a specialty pasta bar, but terrible service--"as though it was the waiters' first dsay which is unacceptable for those prices."
