Barbados: Where to Eat: Hot Spots: Aqua Restaurant & Lounge

Aqua Restaurant & Lounge

Barbadian chef Michael Hinds, worked at Miami’s Nobu (as well as Sandy Lane) before coming to this glam South Coast establishment. The design, like that of many places in Miami, is sleek and minimalist with the appropriate mix of exposed wooden beams, glass railings and aluminum and steel accents. The menu, which Hinds describes as eclectic, is heavy on seafood though varied enough to satisfy most palates.
