4.4 / 5.0(74 reviews)

The food at this restaurant was very tasty. I got the Cayman style flatbread which had a ton of meat and was filling. I also got a side of the truffle fries which were some of the best fries I've ever had!! They were perfectly seasoned, crunchy, and the cheese was amazing. We had a group of 9 adults and 3 kids which caused our food to take about an hour to get once we ordered. However they brought out free appetizers for our long wait. Sitting outside wasn't the best with how hot it was out but rain came by and cooled everything off. Overall it was a good experience! Brought my wife here for her birthday. It was a Thursday evening. The outdoor area was was about half full. We came here for dinner and to catch the sunset. Firstly, awesome spot perched near a short cliff overlooking the ocean. Wonderful place to catch the sunset. The outdoor area has nice tables arranged on perfectly manicured grass. The tables are not crowded together. The inside restaurant area was seen in passing, bit looked fantastic, appeared super clean and was well appointed. The food was top notch. It did not disappoint except that there wasn't more. Well prepared, presented nicely with balanced flavor. The service could be a more speedy, our glasses ran dry a bit, but I think she was new and still learning the ropes. Nothing to complain a about and in general, friendly and courteous. Would I come here again, YES. Do I recommend. YES. It is a great place in a great area. This restaurant is located right next door to the Pedro St James gift shop. Sat outside, but in the shade. Enjoyed a Cliffside & then a Bluff Bramble. Ordered the 1780 sandwich, but they were out of chicken, so they subbed it with pulled beef instead. Delicious! Also got an order of Lobster Lollipops, which were like corn dogs, but with lobster in the middle. So yummy! They also brought out a special surprise of sticky toffee pudding & chocolate lava cake. Thank you so much for making my day special.

Highly Recommend, Don’t Miss Out! We did a rum tasting, shared appetizers, & had drinks! The ENTIRE menu looked awesome! The apps were delicious, the drink menu was delightful, & the rum tasting was a great addition! The only thing I regret was not going back again for lunch or dinner! Everything was VERY fresh! We sat outside & the view of the ocean was great!
