We visited Straw Hat on our first trip to Anguilla. The first visit was planned as a beach day at Meads Bay. We chose Straw Hat for our beach day because we also planned to eat lunch there. First off...we got beach chairs and an umbrella. A young man got us settled and brought my wife a cold tropical drink. We lounged for a while then took a dip in some of the most beautiful water we've ever seen. Meads Bay is one of the best beaches in the world. We then walked across the beach to the restaurant. I'm not a bona-fide foodie so I had a delicious chicken club sandwich. The portion was huge and I had to take some back to the villa as well as my wife's delicious grilled chicken wrap. After lunch, we went back to our chairs on the beach for a short while. We were so impressed with the restaurant that we went back the night before we were to fly back home. I had an amazing New York strip steak and my wife had the creole chicken. The rolls were amazing and my chocolate lava cake dessert was delicious as well. We enjoyed the total food and beach experience.
