Meet Annie and Skylar

Annie's passion for food runs deep and is rooted in family tradition. She was raised on classic Greek dishes passed down from her mother, who grew up on the island of Samos.

Today, Annie carries on that legacy, adding her own creative twists and bringing those beloved flavors to life right here in Anguilla!

Dinner at Sailor's Compass

Now, let's dive into the food! We kicked off dinner the best way — with a rum punch.

Sailor’s Compass makes an excellent one: fruity, refreshing, and with just the right kick, exactly how we like it.

We start with a couple of appetizers. First we had the Bacon Caramelized Onion Dip with plantain chips...

One word: addictive!

This ultra-creamy dip is light, savory, and rich, made with slow-cooked caramelized onions and the flavor of bacon.

It’s served with plantain chips that add just the right amount of crunch and sweetness. A crowd-pleaser from the very first bite.

Next up was the Greek Platter.

A beautiful sampling of house-made hummus, tangy tzatziki, roasted eggplant dip, and stuffed grape leaves.

These dips are so good! Annie gets the freshest ingredients, like locally grown dill and house-roasted peppers, to bring each bite to life. It's that kind of care and quality that sets her flavors apart.

One of the most popular picks on the menu? The Tornado Potato!

Spiral-cut, brushed with garlic butter, and fried to golden perfection, these crispy potatoes are savory, addictive, and downright impossible to resist.

Now for my favorite of the night...

The Conch Fritters

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with conch — straight from the waters of Sandy Ground. Don't miss the savory dip that elevates each bite of these fritters!

A Caribbean staple done right.

Looking for something lighter?

Loaded Greek Salad

Loaded with fresh greens, juicy local tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, feta and Vinty’s locally grown microgreens, this salad is dressed in a bright Greek vinaigrette.

Light, flavorful, and oh-so-refreshing!

Another top pick is the...

Samos Spanakopita

Annie’s family recipe combines spinach, feta, scallions, and dill, all wrapped in layers of golden phyllo.

This buttery, flaky spinach pie is made with love.

We ended off the night with the Poseidon Pastisio.

Bucatini pasta layered with cinnamon-spiced lamb ragù and a creamy béchamel.

This rich, baked Greek dish is deeply satisfying and full of soul.

The food here is flavorful, the people behind it are passionate, and the vibe is warm and welcoming.
