There was only one other solo person eating at the time we were there. We arrived just before dinner was starting so we were able to chose off the lunch menu. The cost was $144.00 BDS for the medium dish which was just enough for me. There were about 5 girls about 20ish years old sitting at the bar, very... More

I have to start by saying that I consider lobster to be a very overrated food - why go here? My wife loves eating lobster! The food was very fresh and met with her absolute approval so full marks there. The menu gives you a choice of small, medium and large ('no medium today, sir'). We asked for guidance as... More

Situated overlooking Carlisle Bay, feel the sand between your toes as you feast on the freshest of lobster - pick your own from the tank. All very friendly and relaxed but gets busy when the cruise ships come in.

The lobster was nice and super fresh, let me not forget to say it was also flavorful! Quite pleased...though I think it was a bit pricey. Oh, and service was fantastic!

Very good food, nice wine selection and a fantastic beach side restaurant with vies to match. We all really enjoyed this, the children loved picking out the live lobsters (although very large crayfish), and we all enjoyed the three different ways that the restaurant cooked them. Would recommend to all, especially if with children ( for lunch as we did... More

Pricey considering its not much better than a beach bar!! for the price you'd expect something a little more fancy! My husband eats lobster, I don't, and I was pretty appalled at how many lobsters were crammed into the tank, with not much room to move, very cruel. Won't be returning

This was the second to the best meal we had on the island. It was wonderful. And i will be dining here again, anytime I'm on the island.

Took a trip here from the gap, after hearing mixed reviews. Four of us ate, each of us had a small lobster, which was plenty. Tasted amazing and just the right amount. Drinks priced average. Very expensive, but worth the trip and the money. So many lobsters in the tank and the live jazz was a great addition.

I tend to have lunch here each Sunday when my wife and I come to sunny Barbados. The live lobsters are flown in from one of the islands and kept in the restaurant's large tank. Smashing food that won't beak the bank! They also offer steak for those who don't want fish. Great jazz on a Sunday afternoon and as... More

This is a great place to each fresh lobster, it’s not a five star restaurant but the food is out of this world!!! Absolutely fantastic …. We had two mediums and found them enough. They are cooked to perfection and it was some of the best tasting lobster we have ever eaten, the sauce is great – go there hungry.... More
