Jamaica Observer (2016): Gloria's Rendezvous at 5 Queen Street, run by Gloria Prawl's children since 1999, plus a sister 'Top Spot' indoors; service is slow when busy - order the fish tea while you wait. Virgintino (2015): Port Royal has a big night and weekend following, many coming for a fish dinner at Gloria's. Walk from Morgan's Harbour, or dinghy across from the yacht club anchorage in the morning before the afternoon harbour chop.
