    Touche on Frank's Le Bistro. Excellent food in a great Roatan
    Rustic Restaurant. Been there a lot and the food and service has
    never been compremised. Congrats to Frank and Michael for bringing
    us Spring Rolls, Crispy Noodles and lots and lots of other
    delights. Try it, but please leave room for me and about 40+ other
    regulars!!!

    On the Chinese in Coxen Hole, haven't been so can't personally
    comment. Have had friends who have, and I'll leave it at that.

    Good eating.
