Newly opened Kiwi Café took over the spot across from Palapa Marina in Simpson Bay. Joanna and husband Brian hope to follow in the footsteps of "The Stone":http://www.dinesxm.com/restaurants/the-stone which used to occupy this location before it became hugely successful and moved to the Pelican Marina Residences.
The menu is brimful of quirky twists to all-time favorites. Caribbean-styled dishes include grilled pork tenderloin medallions, with Creole spices, a citrus rum sauce, and served with cinnamon mashed potatoes plus a black bean and corn salsa. We counted a total of four different ways to prepare chicken: Chimichurry style, pan-seared with goat cheese and sun dried tomatoes, grilled with a citrus butter sauce, and a lightly dusted spicy variation that is tossed with orange peel and chili peppers.
In our opinion, Chef Brian will have to adapt quickly from preparing delicious meals for family and friends to the quick paced delivery and spotless presentation that his patrons will demand. Thankfully, the owners have recently found assistance from someone who is young, energetic and an experienced host: the ever cheerful Shonette is now welcoming the restaurant's guests and overseeing the front of the house.
