We had not booked a table, but were offered a table downstairs. Close to the road, but not a problem - however that was it - we waited nearly an hour before anybody came and took our order. Then when eventually we placed an order, it took for ever to come. Even by caribbean standard this was slow! Food was... More

Serg the chef is a wonderful cook, he manages to produce outstanding food in a tiny space right in the middle of the restaurant, it is fun to watch him and his excellent helper working in harmony in such a...

Working as a chef on mega yachts for the last fifteen years, it has become slightly difficult not to recognize mediocrity in both service and cuisine. We work for clients accustomed to the highest level of service and cuisine and in turn, we are tailored and groomed to provide such service and skill. In a phrase, my standards for culinary... More

This is a small house with about 6 tables inside, plus another few outside. We sat inside and had a great view of the two cooks preparing our meal. The owner was very friendly. Our food was very good, especially the sauces. All of the vegetables were fresh and well-prepared. It's not fancy, but it is good. If you want... More

Having always passed the restaurant but never stepped inside, we arrived here during after being caught in the rain during a tropical wave. The restaurant looks cute from the outside and is even quite cuter inside. Space is a bit small and cramped but that did not take away from the ambiance. Ate here during lunchtime, so they had the...

The first time I went I enjoyed the buffet which was mainly vegetarian. Not usually my cup of tea but it was good food. The service however was unnerving. The owner is all over... More
