4.5 / 5.0(315 reviews)
This was our favourite restaurant on the island. We came here twice… the food is great and reasonably priced for this island. We had Tuna Poke bowl, cheeseburger (fries are amazing) and Mahi tacos. The Bahama Mama drinks are incredible. The restaurant is really cute inside and the outside seating has beach views. Our kids played corn-hole while we waited for our food. I will start with the food. The food was pretty good and so were the drinks. The atmosphere is nice with a good view. The service, on the other hand, was very slow. We were there an hour and a half and only got one drink, and were never asked if we wanted another one. After we ate, our plates were taken, and we had to wait over 30 minutes to get our bill. For the price of the food, I expected a lot nicer of an experience. I often ate here in the evenings whilst staying at Paradise Bay for two weeks. The food was absolutely amazing. Did not have one bad meal. The tuna poke bowl was my favourite! We had steak (amazing!), my partner had the ultimate burger which he described as the best burger he’s ever had. He said the quality of the meat was extremely high. We also had mahi mahi fish and chips. The service was good too, in the restaurant. The French lady and the French chef (I’m so sorry i didn’t get your names) were very helpful and accommodating, the gent also brought over my steak to my cottage. When I ordered for take out i would be given a timeframe to collect. Did not eat in the premises so cannot advise on that experience.

The best restaurant we found on the island! The northern part of the island for sure. We didn’t make a reservation so they couldn’t seat us inside, but there was plenty of seating outside available. Service was great. Food is even better. We had conch chowder, conch fritters, curry grouper and grilled lobster. All was so delicious. You must try the mojito red berries! The rum cake wasn’t any special. Try this place you won’t regret.
