We again found ourselves with no reservations.

In fairness, we weren’t quite sure what time we’d return from our excursion to the north point to see the animal flower cave, named for the sea anemones found in the rock pools. (Worth the visit, by the way!)

At worst case scenario, we’d stop by Mullins and if we couldn’t get in, we’d have a drink and some apps in the lounge. That’s exactly what we did.

Our pricey apps included a Jerk-crusted beef with Asian spiced carambola and arugula drizzled with lemon vinaigrette ($19); a mushroom risotto (way too al dente) with white truffle butter topped with sunny side egg ($17); and the special starter of the day: spiny Caribbean lobster with linguine, lobster sauce, red onion, fresh avocado, Parmesan crisps ($24)
