Dont be put off the unwelcoming exterior! We had a meal and cocktails at this restaurant on our last night of our holiday and we wished we had gone earlier during our holiday as we would have attended many more times given the opportunity! We tried many different restaurants in the area , ones much more expensive but was very... More

As we were staying at The House immediately opposite, we really felt we should give Scarlet a try. I was so pleased we did. The decor is...well...scarlet! The cocktail list is long and imaginative. The Scarlet Rocks signature Martini is a must - delicious as was the truffle popcorn we had as a bar snack. Food was tasty too. To... More

Relaxed and friendly with good food. The painted red walls and the great bar offer something a little bit different to the norm. Well done. More

This little place is very busy and we can usually only get in with reservations, but it is well worth it. The decor is upbeat and fun. The service is attentive but not hovering. And best of all, the food is very good and not overpriced (for St James). The blackened fish and the hamburger were definate favourites, but the... More

Scarlet is such a great place- the menu is interesting, the food yummy and the cocktails, well are to die for! We drove back from dinner on the south coast just for dessert cocktails (the Ultimate Dessert Cocktail with rum, tia maria and peanut butter (amongst the ingredients) was heaven in a Martini glass. It has a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere... More

This is one of the best restaurants that my wife and I have been to on Barbados--and considering we've been to the island five times now, that says a lot. Service is attentive but not hovering, food is excellent, and prices, for a top restaurant in Barbados, are reasonable. We will definitely go back next time we're on the island. More
