Palm Terrace Restaurant & Lounge - Island Hotel

The Scene
Beneath lilting strains of soft music, sophisticated diners dressed in staid designer numbers dot the elegant, European-styled dining room. Pavilion is the epitome of class and dependability, just what you'd expect from a world-class hotel.

The Food
Fine-dining at its best. Start with the breadbasket overflowing with crusty butter rolls, chopstick-sized peppercorn bread sticks, flat Parmesan crisps and thick-sliced cinnamon-raisin bread. For an opulent appetizer, small mounds of sumptuous black caviar flatter triangles of delicately smoked salmon stacked with crisp wontons and a dollop of crème fraiche. Of the seafood entrees, shellfish connoisseurs must opt for succulent, steamed Maine lobster, served lazy-man style on a bed of rich saffron risotto. Free-range chicken breast is moist, hearty and rolled with roasted corn and prosciutto.
