2
travelers
at
a
crosswalk
in
Hamilton
wondering
out
loud
which
pub
to
check
out,
and
out
of
nowhere,
this
man
-
Ben
-
comes
around
and
gives
awesome
suggestions.
Needless
to
say,
he
is
a
local,
but
also
mentions
that
he
is
the
head
chef
at
Mad
Hatters
and
that
we
should
try
and
check
it
out
while
on
vacation.
Fast
forward
to
NYE's
eve
and
we
decided
to
take
our
chance
to
grab
seats
as
walk-ins
the
moment
they
opened.
We
weren't
able
to
call
ahead
as
we
only
had
internet
service
on
our
phones.
The
host,
although
doubtful,
was
kind
enough
to
check
and
luckily
there
were
2
seats,
orchestra
nonetheless,
that
we
just
needed
to
vacate
by
8pm.
The
restaurant
atmosphere
was
exactly
what
we
were
looking
for
–
intimate,
but
not
stiff.
The
menu
was
small
and
made
it
easy
to
choose,
but
also
challenging
to
not
want
to
order
everything!
We
ordered
bacon-wrapped
scallops
with
a
pepper,
mango,
tamarind
glaze
for
appetizers,
and
the
sauté
rock
fish
with
a
banana
nut
crust
&
dark
n’
stormy
sauce
and
surf
and
turf
special
for
our
entrees.
Let
me
tell
you,
we
were
so
glad
that
this
was
our
last
dinner
before
leaving
Bermuda.
Everything
was
so
good,
and
you
can
tell
that
the
dishes
were
made
to
order
and
fresh!
Ben,
as
it
turns
out
is
not
just
the
head
chef,
but
also
part-owner.
During
service,
he
casually
sang
and
danced
his
way
out
of
the
kitchen,
spotted
us,
and
made
sure
to
acknowledge
that
he
remembered
us,
and
he
was
thankful
we
were
able
to
dine
in,
as
we
were
just
as
thankful
for
the
pub
recommendations
and
leading
us
to
his
restaurant.
He
even
invited
us
for
champagne
for
their
New
Year’s
Eve
celebration
at
midnight!
If
only
we
weren’t
flying
back
home
in
the
morning...
If
there’s
one
place
worth
checking
out
and
dining
to
when
you’re
in
Bermuda,
it’s
definitely
at
Mad
Hatter’s.
Fine
dining,
but
with
a
relaxed
atmosphere,
outstanding
food,
and
amazing
people.
