The menu draws on local fish and Caribbean sauces. Local fish ceviche comes with crisp calamari, and lobster salad is rolled in an herb pancake. The whole catch of the day arrives with Creole sauce, and corvina is served in a Caribbean curry sauce.

Sides and small plates carry island touches too. Funchi fries come with Creole sauce, and octopus arrives with yuca chips and cilantro aioli.

Marea appears in our family collection, and the patio facing Eagle Beach suits a relaxed family meal. Your $20 service fee is paid online by PayPal or card, and the meal is paid at the restaurant.
