OK, so you take a little ferry out to this houseboat...so cool. On a beautiful night, you sit upstairs to watch the stars...but watch out, you are paying dearly for this privledge. Very expensive, very mediocre food...including a two pound caribbean lobster for $75 US...not worth it...but a nice venue. More

We have had great dinners every time we have gone there. The entrance to the restaurant seems to be in the middle of nowhere and you take a tiny boat ride (seconds) to the houseboat. The lobsters are kept under the boat with glass floor above and you pick your lobster and they will cook it many different ways. Also... More

We went here with 10 friends while on vacation at Montego Bay. We were tired of the all-inclusive resort food. This place is very quaint. It's a houseboat on the shores of an inlet. You take a cute "raft" to get to the boat and we had our meal on the rooftop under the stars. Our view was the inlet... More

Went with girlfriends. The service was excellent. The food delightful. And the staff was only too happy to add to the appetizer menu to create lighter fare dinners for us. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. More
