As the name suggests, the focus is on beef, but there are other options, including the freshest seafood from the nearby ocean. The fine steaks are large and prepared to your taste. The bone-in cuts are especially tender.

The ambiance is definitely tropical, with views of the ocean across the courtyard, and live music many nights from an outdoor gazebo.

The restaurant seats just over 100 in a comfortable atmosphere, so reservations are a good idea. The first floor has tables, and seating at the main bar and wine bar. There is a smaller upstairs area for groups or upon request. Fireplaces provide ambiance, and open air seating is available in season.

Along with the giant cuts of prime steak, family favorites such as fish and chips are prepared excellently in open view of the restaurant. Appetizers such as ahi tuna and lamb lollipops are available a la carte, as are specialty salads.

Pricing is comparable to other restaurants on the Island, with a large selection of fine wines and chef-designed desserts available. In keeping with the island and resort atmosphere, appropriate dress is a nice casual.

XO Lounge

Also open is the renovated bar area of the Hilton Oceanfront Resort, now called the XO Lounge. The XO is an intimate area near hh prime, with a full bar of fine liquors, televisions and music.

The bar is hopping on most nights in season with live music and dancing. There is not much room for dancing in the cozy nightspot, but patrons feeling the beat can always find a place to boogie.
