Thanks Marko
I have a retention problem. In the restaurant when the waiter / waitress goes through the list of specials by the time they get to the last one I can't remember what the first one was

I was just leaving L&M with fresh supplies of ice, beer, etc and this guy walks up to stick a hand bill in my face which I usually resist when I'm on a mission, especially with a full load of groaning plastic bags.

"I'm Bentley," he informed me.
"You're world famous," I replied
"Yah, mon! World famous."
"We'll be up for dinner this evening."
"First time I'm gonna make you crab cakes."
"Super! Can't wait."

We were staying a Blue Cave Castle (as usual!) so it was a short, but pleasant stroll just after sunset. We were the first guests and staked out a table at the rail along the road. Bentley brought us a couple of cold ones and we kicked back to enjoy the view. Great vista with a wonderful perspective on BCC. I love the ambient neighborfood sounds of Jamaica, especially in a residential area like Bentley's or Wen's just up the way from Out of Town Pastry. Another couple (honeymooners) from BCC joind us at an adjoining table and we all just soaked up the sights, sounds and smells of cooking. This is real home cooking so Bently went to task making everything from scratch. In other words, call ahead or be patient. We drank alot of beers! First the crab back and eventually the cakes. Holy cow! What a feast. I was the onlky one who was pig enough to eat it all. Between courses, a large barn owl flew overhead silently. We all made out way back to BCC and a good nights sleep wit dem belly full.

Heads up ladies, the restroom is a little primitive, but sufficient. Respect --Marblehead

I am a heading to Negril on Friday!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!! Now that I got that off my chest, I can tell you about Bentley. He does not run a restaurant like we are accustomed to here in the USA. Bentley does not serve a ton of dinners every night so everything is shopped for that day and cooked to order. Many people get turned off to the place when Bentley asks for a deposit with your reservation. This IS necessary because if Bentley does a shop for you in the morning, and if you do not show up, he gets burned. Your deposit is safe with Bentley. I trust him implicitly. I consider him a friend, and he has offered to allow me to stay in his home when I come to Negril.

Many people have talked about his food, and it is great. I posted a couple of youtube videos of Bentley and his dishes from my last trip in April. One night Bentley was backed up with customers, and I helped him serve. He is a cleanliness freak, and made me was-up first. His little kitchen is out in the open and very sanitary. The restaurant is a little way up Ella Lane. I was a little apprehensive the first time I headed up there, but one of the local guys on the street took me up there, and it a very safe and friendly block. In fact I have drinks with the guy every time I am in town now.

I cannot recommend the place enough. He does not know I will be there on Friday, I'm going to call him this week to let him know. I look forward to a few good meals with him when I get there. This is an experience in Negril not to be missed.

"You're gonna get five things on your plate!" Says Bentley What a great night! Us, Bentley, his two boarders and some neighborhood girls hanging out on the deck. "You sit back and relax, mon, enjoy the view, and I'm going to cook for you." Hell yes he did! I will write this up in my trip report but this was one of the first post I saw this morning on my return and had to post something. I will also start a thread immediately that I told Bentley I would, it made him and his pro diver buddy laugh out loud.
