The developer of the Bight Hotel resort complex, under construction in Turks and Caicos, opened the modern Mediterranean restaurant Marine Room last week.
The Marine Room menu, curated by executive chef Dennis Omega, features a fusion of Caribbean coastal flavors and Mediterranean techniques with an emphasis on fresh seafood and locally sourced ingredients. The drinks menu includes a dedicated section of infused-vodka martinis that use spirits from EA Group's local distillery.
According to the developer, the Marine Room is a "lively and soulful restaurant that celebrates life, island culture and the bounty of the sea."
The Bight Hotel -- slated to be fully open "in a couple of years," the developer said -- will sit on eight acres and will include 66 boutique villas, 90 guestrooms, a distillery and rum bar, a 140-seat private-event space, an infinity-edge pool and wellness facilities including a spa, yoga studio, and training center. The elevated beach villas is the next phase to be completed, in July.
"The Marine Room is the perfect 'first taste' of all that is to come," said EA developer Ryan Jones. "Turks and Caicos has been our home for over 20 years, and this project is our way of sharing with the world what makes our islands so special.
This is EA Group's first venture into the hotel market. The company's existing businesses in Turks and Caicos are the restaurant Lemon2Go, the florist Flowers by EA, Hurricane Vodka, the Provo Clothing Co. and Landscaping by EA.
The Marine Room is open for dinner only Tuesdays through Thursdays from 5 to 10 p.m., and 5 p.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
