There may be no better way to end a day of watching the seals and surf than tucking into a plate of Jamaican jerk pork belly at Nine-Ten. Located in the century-old Grande Colonial Hotel, this dining room and patio is more cozy and casual than grand, populated by folks who keep their shades on through dinner. Naturally. During lunch, the front sidewalk and back area overlooking the pool are divine. Many patrons put themselves at "the mercy of the chef," which is their quirky way of offering a chef's tasting. Others may explore the menu filled with seared salmon, served over braised fennel and Romano beans in an aromatic lobster broth. The kitchen reaches its peak with desserts like strawberry-almond cake layered with mousse and fresh berries.
