We stayed at Sandals in St Lucia and dined at Kelly’s Dockside for both a birthday dinner and breakfast. Dinner requires a reservation, but breakfast is open seating. Our dinner experience was fantastic! The staff was amazing, and our server even had a great singing voice. The food selection was excellent—we had the crabcake with a side salad, steak, and a fish dish, all of which were delicious. The specialty drinks were flavorful, and the birthday dessert was a great touch. For breakfast, we had an omelette with a side of bacon and hash browns, paired with mimosas. The food was tasty, though we did wait a little longer than expected. The stunning views made the wait more enjoyable. If you’re in a rush or extra hungry in the morning, the buffet option might be a quicker choice. Overall, Kelly’s Dockside offers great food, great service, and stunning views. Definitely worth a visit! Loved this place. One of the best restaurants in sandals St Lucia. Great setting. Great food. Loved the crab cake starter. Batman even made us a cocktail which we requested & wasn’t on cocktail list. Waitress was a bit slow in asking for us for more drinks. But still a great place. Also no tomatoes available. We were here recently for our honeymoon and had breakfast here. They serve breakfast and dinner; dinner is reservation only and I’d recommend booking several days in advance because it fills up fast. The atmosphere and view of the ocean is beautiful plus you can reserve an outside private table for two which was super romantic. Service was friendly, food was tasty and we had a nice quiet morning. I gave it 4 stars because it is quite the wait however I noticed that trend in several restaurants and may be cultural. I’d recommend at least one morning here especially if you can get the private table!

A beautiful romantic setting with great views of the sunset if you book to coincide with it. You can take a photo or two from the outside Balcony. Lovely views along the beach. Dinner is not rushed, nor should it be! The menu is good and great to eat - some of the dishes including the pastries are outstanding. The staff were excellent - service was of a high standard on all 3 of our visits, they are clearly well managed. Kelly's has an upmarket polished feel about it - but is not stuffy. Karie served us on a busy Friday evening and like the othedrs, she was professional, efficient, vibrant and attentive. We were also lucky enough to meet the Pastry Chef Trudy - who was a ray of sunshine! Lovely brief chat with a very talented Chef, who is loyal and clearly loves what she does. A highly recommended venue for dinner.

The staff OMG!!! Talk about catering to your needs. I felt like true royalty ✨️. The food was simply delicious and they were so on theme with their decor. I still have to come back to the staff, from the dancing entertaining waiter, so much personality. You wanted to be his friend instantly. Then you had the waitresses and the host. They made us feel warm n welcomed. Loved the experience
