◾ Gourment Bliss and Tranquility at Hi-Rise Beach Bar ◾

Stepping out of the vehicle, I took a brief moment and tilted my head back to admire the full grandeur of the building before me. Its distinctive features boasting Caribbean style and its elegant blend of exquisite and natural charm intrigued me. As I securely locked the doors to my vehicle, I felt a sense of admiration for the craftsmanship and vision that had gone into creating such a masterpiece. I allowed my eyes to follow each and every word set delicately into the wooden sign that clung to the building’s balcony — ‘Hi-Rise Beach Bar’. Even the name possessed a feel-good sensation.

As I stepped into the entrance of the staircase, a sense of welcoming aura embraced me. I allowed my dark eyes to follow the stairs as they twirled upward toward the skylight, amid the rays that flowed upon them as bright water whilst soft sounds of reggae music danced their way down the staircase and teased my ears. My first foot made an impact with the first step with a solid thud, followed by the second, creating a rhythm that bounced off the walls within the narrow space.

          Upon approaching the final step, the aromatic smell of local cuisine wafted through the air and attacked my nostrils. As my legs marched across the wooden floor towards the bar, my eyes scanned the captivating interior which immediately enveloped me in a world of understated tranquility and calmness. The perfectly carved wooden tables and seats were surrounded by sand, their color — light orange and green and red — added to the warm ambiance of the bar restaurant. Various intriguing art pieces decorated the walls, adding color and brightness to its surroundings.

          At the bar, I was welcomed with a friendly face behind the counter. A young woman with an inviting smile had a warm and approachable demeanor, and she greeted me with genuine enthusiasm. “Welcome to Hi-Rise Beach Bar!” she beamed, her voice with a pleasant, melodic quality. We exchanged friendly words before she gestured towards a nearby table towards my right with a graceful, inviting sweep of her hand. As she led me to the table, she offered a few friendly comments about the cuisine and drinks menu. Upon sitting, she provided me with a menu and gave me ample time to make my decision before reapproaching me to take my order.

          Giving into the temptation, I removed my sandals and allowed my feet to sink into the blend of fine and coarse particles, the smooth yet slightly gritty texture of the sand. It stretched out beneath my feet, a warm, golden expanse that seemed to shimmer under the afternoon sun’s rays. I admired the scenic view of the vast sea. The sunlight danced across the surface, turning the water into a field of flickering diamonds. The sea’s color was a mesmerizing gradient, deep azure near the horizon blending into lighter shades of turquoise and green closer to the shore. I closed my eyes as I allowed the gentle breeze to dance through my hair and warm sun rays to caress my brown skin. For just a brief moment I actually felt that I was in paradise.

A soft voice quickly pulled me away from my fantasy. My eyes fluttered open and was met with the waitress’s kind smile whilst she gently set my cuisine in front of me. I thanked her before turning my attention towards the meal. Its presentation is a visual feast that hints at the delicate flavors within. The fish, a vibrant shade of ruby red, lies nestled atop a bed of aromatic herbs and citrus slices. Accompanied with it were decent portions of vegetable salad, saffron rice slightly soaked up the flavorful broth from the fish, red beans, and a variety of provisions. Each bite of the steamed redfish has an exquisite balance of flavors and textures. The array of sides complemented the delicate flavors of the fish, making each mouthful a harmonious blend of tender, flavorful fish and aromatic, fragrant rice and provision, with a satisfying crush from the vegetables.

I completed my meal with a hearty smile plastered onto my face as I basked in a profound sense of satisfaction and contentment that extended beyond mere nourishment. The waitress was prompt in clearing my table and serving me the cocktail that I ordered. The vanilla cocktail, served in a sleek curved glass, creamy and inviting appearance whispered enticing words, promising me a luxurious drinking experience. I allowed the blithesome music to consume me, each note seemed to dance in sync with the rhythm of my heartbeat, as I savored the taste of each sip of my drink.

As I finished my cocktail and prepared to leave, a sense of genuine contentment, satisfaction, and peace settled within me. I glanced over at the waitress behind the counter, who had been patient and personable throughout my dining experience and felt a sense of appreciation for her service. I simultaneously walked towards the counter and reached into my purse. I pulled out a few crisp bills and carefully arranged them before handing it to the waitress. I glanced at the tip jar and with a decisive motion, I placed a generous amount as a reflection of my gratitude. I offered a heartfelt thank you to the amazing staff at the Hi-Rise Beach Bar, and I exited the restaurant with a warm, contented and uplifted spirit.
