We have been decimating the local conch population, Da Conch Shack and Bugaloos. Last night we hit Kitchen 218 at the Beach House, which was really excellent. Granted it was Tuesday night and we were the first customers, they sat people far apart from each other as the few other customers came in. It was an open pavilion. They did stick us with a bottled water charge and nothing was cheap, but it was really, really good. We all ate something other than conch. Judy had sea bass, I had lamb, and Karen had a tenderloin. We split an order of civichi for first, which our waiter assured us was not big enough to split, but were quite happy with it. Judy and both had fancy drinks, as you do in the tropics, and I had a glass of pinot noir from New Zealand. We figured we could walk home if we had to -- it's pretty close to the resort we're at. (Judy and I wanted to bring the waiter home, but then we probably would have fought over him.) Anyway, service was great, the food was wonderful, and we survived the bill.
