4.6 / 5.0(1,016 reviews)
Some really enjoyed their dinner, others were not a fan. The fish burger was a huge miss for me; I wouldn’t recommended. The seafood risotto reminded me more of a seafood soup with rice. The most liked menu item was the Caribbean wrap. Closely followed by their Popeye salad, which was also really well liked! We also struggled with the sizes; the hamburgers were on the smaller size. For one of them we requested no peppers, but they were still on it. Someone else asked for fries and plantains and didn’t receive those. We also tried a smoothie, and the Carolina was good. The frozen lemonade wasn’t super flavorful though. They had a clean bathroom inside, and ac as well. Not a whole lot of seating options, but we didn’t need to wait. Fresh, friendly, and delicious. Iced latte was perfect, smoothie was refreshing, and my breakfast burrito was absolutely delicious. They gave me a side sauce with an extra green sauce on top that was so good. Highly recommend. Good food, good service, good music. Only thing was that it was a bit pricey in my opinion as we ended up spending around $30 for 2. Understand that it’s a tourist spot and a chain restaurant.

Delicious DELICIOUS breakfast!!! I got the egg breakfast add bacon with pancakes add choc chips. The bacon came perfectly crispy! The presentation of the plate was gorgeous too, especially the side of fruit. The coffee was delicious and I had a smoothie that was excellent as well. The star of the show was the PANCAKES!!! So fluffy and delicious, not too filling just perfectly fluffy and devourable. The ambiance of the restaurant was gorgeous too. I sat outside under cover as it was raining and it was a perfect last morning in Bocas. The staff was super friendly and helpful as well. I can’t recommend enough for breakfast!!!
