The food was perfect from the appetizers down to the dessert. Service was great as well, didn't have to wait long for any of our meals nor drinks. Although the place itself is nice, I've only seen it at night but I could assume the day time must be lovely as well, however the restaurant was too hot. The fan above us wasn't working and the others werent giving off much so that spoiled the night a bit for me. There also isn't much parking available unfortunately other than that everything else was chef's kiss. WOW. Everything was exceptional- the service, the food, the views, the drinks. This is an amazing place that I can't say enough good things about. For an appetizer we ordered the octopus and let's just say months from now we will still talk about it. My husband got the Catch of the Day (red snapper) Bajan style and I got the vegetable curry with the snapper and both were outstanding. Do yourself a favor and just go. Portions are more than adequate, menu is diverse and offers selections to cater to all dietary requirements. Service top-tier nothing was too much to ask, great atmosphere music softly played in background as the calming sound of the waves lashing against the shore set the mood. Cocktail menu and offerings well thought out and balanced selections.

Beautiful views as you dine. Drinks were mixed well and I'd recommend the "bottomless mimosas ". The food was good although portion sizes were questionable for some menu choices. I'd recommend the "baby back ribs". Lastly, the customer service was top tier. My only suggestion would be to make the restaurant fully air conditioned since during brunch almost all the guests were complaining about the heat and direct sunlight, also some of the staff were visibly perspiring.

Beautiful place, very clean and friendly staff. Ordered: Calamari - Tasty but a very small portion, only around 9 pieces. At that price thought it would be a lot bigger portion. Beetroot Salad - Very bad, didn’t taste fresh. Old ingredients, lettuce was very dry. Something seemed off. Catch of the Day - Really enjoyed this dish. Everything was perfect. Would recommend. Drinks - Fruit Punch and Virgin Pina Colada - Lovely drinks, very refreshing after a day at the beach. Overall portions are very small compared to the price you pay. Wouldn’t recommend it.
