Miss Lucy's

More advice sought -
Is Miss Lucy's worth a visit?
If so should we make a point of going particularly for Sunday brunch (because it is so much better somehow) or just anytime?
Is Miss Lucy's open lunch and dinner?
Where is it specifically?

THANKS!

Concerned about construction!

I've been reading about these big developments ie sirenusa. I'm concerned that our villa is on top of one of these. When we booked last year I was told no construction going on. Now told there is some 500 yds away but recently it was shut down because of $$ or permits or something. First - can anyon...

Best places for lunch

Hi -
Looking for the best places to grab lunch - esp interested in places where it is very casual and where you could go in after being at the beach in the morning.

Also where is Vie's?
