Beautiful restaurant and the ambiance is great! The food was goodish, but the drinks were definitely the standout. I also enjoyed the boutique area at the entrance, featuring local goods and artisan products. It’s a thoughtful concept that supports local farms and craftsmen, making the experience feel unique and special. One of my favorite restaurants in Barbados. Excellent, locally sourced menu. I love their purpose and connection to nature, ingredients, and the community. It’s really special. Everything we tried was incredible. At the entrance they also have a small shop with wine to purchase and goods such as jewelry and clothes. Great place to have dinner and watch sunset. Had a really lovely dinner here. The staff were attentive, polite and friendly. The setting was gorgeous - beautifully decorated. The menu here focusing on local produce makes it stand out against most other places on the island, with unique dishes, exceptional cooking, and beautiful plating. The highlight was definitely the pork belly bites with pickled watermelon rind and scotch bonnets. This was a masterclass in balance. The ceviche tasting plate was also exceptional - so fresh and light. We also tried the tuna tatami with green papaya salad and a Bajan salsa verde (the cooking of the tuna was perfect - only small criticism would be the papaya salad would have been amazing with a little more punch from lime and spice from chilli). The chicken curry was rich and unctuous, with beautiful spicing. For dessert we had the coconut cheesecake with coconut and lime sorbet - this was light, delicate and refreshing. We also had a flight of Doorly’s rums - which was an awesome end to the dinner sat on the beach watching listening to the waves and watching the stars. Highly recommend a visit!

The ambiance is great, but the food is mediocre. The chicken was extremely dry and very hard to eat. None of the dishes really stood out as exceptional in any way. The menu is also very limited with very few options.

Chris and Kemar amazing bar tenders! we put them up to a competition and these brothers nailed it!! It was a close call but either or, they are truly talented. Barbados gem. The ambiance is elegant, clean and very modern! Shay was excellent. Very professional and hospitable. We will certainly come back.
