Cruz Bay Prime 08/13/2010
Reviewers Rating: Good
Cruz Bay Prime is located at the Westin Resort, upstairs from the main lobby. It is open to the lobby, so there is noise from there as well as from a big fountain in the restaurant. e had to move our chairs next to each other in order to talk without shouting. If you are with someone with hearing problems, I would choose another location.

Service was good, attentive without being overbearing. Food was decidedly mixed. I started with a vegetable gazpacho which was awful--it was actually inedible. Incredibly acidic and lacking in fresh flavor, they definitely used either canned tomato juice or V8 as the base. My husband had a lobster cappucino which he enjoyed. I did not like it. Too rich and not lobstery enough at the same time.

Entrees were much better. I had a pan roasted snapper, and my husband had local tuna. Both were very fresh and nicely prepared.

All sides are served family style and cost $7. We had the asparagus and macaroni and cheese. Both fine, nothing special. We skipped dessert.

Wines are marked up but that is to be expected.

Overall, I don't think I will go back, but I am glad that we tried it.
