kind words from our guests
“Ode to Gillian was truly one of the highlights of our time in Turks and Caicos and an experience we will not soon forget.
From the moment we arrived, the evening felt incredibly special. The intimate setting inside a beautiful private villa overlooking the ocean creates an atmosphere unlike any traditional restaurant. It feels exclusive, personal, and thoughtfully designed around the dining experience.
Chef Eric was phenomenal. Not only is he an exceptionally talented chef, but he was also incredibly personable and engaging throughout the evening. Every course was beautifully presented, creative, and executed at a level we would absolutely consider Michelin quality.
The lobster spaghetti was outstanding and easily one of the best pasta dishes we have ever had. The branzino with delicately sliced potatoes was another standout and one of our favorite dishes of the evening. Every course demonstrated an incredible attention to detail, both in presentation and flavor.
We have been fortunate to dine at many Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, and our meal at Ode to Gillian ranks right up there among some of our most memorable dining experiences.
If you are visiting Turks and Caicos and appreciate exceptional food, intimate surroundings, and a dining experience that goes well beyond a typical night at a restaurant, Ode to Gillian should absolutely be on your list. Chef Eric and his team have created something very special, and we cannot recommend it highly enough.
We will absolutely be back.”

“Chef has traveled the world, worked in Michelin star restaurants, and now wants to welcome you into his home so he can make for you a tasting menu that matches the season you’re in. It’s intimate, tranquil and luxurious as you’re soaking in the glorious views of Turks and being cared for by one of the best.
You get to watch him in his element, and taste flavors we didn’t know could taste so good! You have to experience it! A must!”
