Swizzle Inn
The Swizzle Inn is an institution in Bermuda and now they have a second location in the South Shore (literally a one minute walk from my lodgings) which I found to be wonderful. I went on a busy Saturday night.
The wait was a bit long and got to sit in the bar area to have their famous Rum Swizzle (very small, packs a punch and tasty ---the one at Coco Reef was bigger). It was served in a mini martini glass. While waiting, I checked up with the waiter about my table, I am glad I checked, the person who welcomed me forgot to put me on the wait list for a table. (I am glad I checked as I was FAMISHED!) They did apologize for the wait.
Us byes Conch fritters-An island classic with tartar sauce. $9.75
Prime Rib char-grilled to your liking, served with a wild mushroom sauce, potato, salad and seasonal veggies. $22.95 (weekend special and famous Island bargain)
I enjoyed my conch fritters, not overly greasy a bit chewy but then there was alot of dough. Conch by itself is not easy to eat but the finely chopped bits were good. I did like the tartar dipping sauce. The prime rib was HUMONGOUS! I am glad I was hungry! The portions were generous and well priced.
The wait for my check was a bit much but I always got refills of water.
