Do you judge a book by it's cover?

A few days ago I told you that two of the best dining establishments on the island are right by me.

Susie's is one of them. It is right next door to me. Actually in the photo on their home page and in this photo too, if you look at the coconut palms in the background, they are the ones at my door.

Here is Susie's winter menu.
