Heliconia

[Captain Jim]

OK this is the last time I'm going to ask & if someone doesn't answer I'm going to throw a hissy fit......
What's on the NEW menu at Heliconia. I used to love the Italian theme. I love eating out on the porch so much but I don't want to go hungry (yeah like that's going to happen at Couples)

[smokedmarlin]

We're just back from CN and Heliconia was one of our favorite places to eat. The menu is definitely still Italian/Mediterranean. I don't remember the whole menu, but I had the Beef Carpaccio appetizer and it was EXCELLENT! My wife had the antipasti platter and loved it as well. The soup was a bean and pasta soup and also very good. They had lemon chicken, salmon with lime butter sauce, and a pasta dish or two for entrees. We had the salmon and chicken and both were very, very good. We also went there for lobster night on Friday and it had to be some of the best lobster I've ever eaten. I also recommend the Irish Coffee as a perfect way to end the meal. Don't worry, you won't be disappointed (or hungry) at the Heliconia.

Oh my god, I am drooling............

[scjamaicagirl]

Me too Deet! This is one thing we miss about Jamaica when we aren't there is the great selection of food!

[BettyinToronto]

The rack of lamb was so tender and yummy. We actually liked Heloconia and ate there twice. The steak was just okay after having the beef tenderloin at O. Didn't care much for their desserts and ended up at the Terrace to enjoy with a coffee and some good live entertainment.

And as Smokedmarlin said, they also had Salmon on the menu one night. We just went a couple weeks ago. The salmon and the lobster were just incredible. The Heliconia was one of our favorite places to eat.

I had the mushroom risotto in in Heliconia, and it's wonderful!

Love Love Love the Fried Olives - So decadant and Yummy! Missed them the last few trips and very glad they are back...
And as always - Thank you Rudi for taking care of our CN Fix with yet more info!!! Have I mentioned lately that you are The BEST?!

[Captain Jim]

Thank you all for the info....now I can sleep peacefully......LOL

The only entree I would not order again is the Grilled Strip Loin. It was tasty, be very very tough to cut and to eat. I actually had to ask for a sharper steak knife because the one they gave me was too dull to cut it. I imagine the same steak is much better at other times, maybe I just got a bad one. Even so though there are so many other good things on the menu that I will probably still avoid it next trip. We ate there two other times during our last visit and everything was excellent.

[SIZE=3]Hmmmm....fried olives, huh? Well, if they are decadent, then I guess I HAVE to try [/SIZE]

Captain Jim, we were there in August for 10 nights, guess where we ate five of those nights . You will be very satisfied!! Its always been our favorite restaurant for service ambiance food etc etc, and this year as I have stated in other posts the food thru out the resort was definitely pushed up a notch, it wasn't good it was superb!!!!
