"At Paya, you won’t be overcharged for fried fish that hasn’t seen the outside of a freezer in months. Like Ghee, its excellent sister restaurant, Paya has a similar commitment to highlighting local ingredients. They call their menu island-inspired, and the best stuff on it used to swim. The crispy whole hogfish and lemongrass glazed daily catch are both excellent. There’s a cute back patio. And inside, the soft glow of candlelight, long plush curtains, and rattan chairs make it a great date night option as well." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
