Lobster Thermidore was very, very good. Nice sized lobster & the sauce was everything I had hoped for. Bread was fresh and warm. Mango Vinaigrette for the salad the waiter reccommended was everything he promised. Cant say I tried the vegetable medley. Too engaged by the splendid lobster. Beautiful location of the restaurant. Go to Xtabi as opposed to Ricks.... more

Many years ago, this was one of the best restaurants in Negril. It is still trying to live off its former reputation but now you get 5-star prices with 1-star service. The restaurant itself is completely falling apart. All of the chairs, tables, tablecloths, cutlery, and dishes should be replaced, since they are chipped, torn, stained, broken, and basically unusable.... more

I had a great meal at Xtabi six years ago and was hoping for a repeat experience on a recent visit to Negril. Big mistake. The place has completely fallen apart over the years. The prices have gone up, while the quality of the food and the restaurant itself have really gone downhill. I had breakfast, lunch, and dinner there... more

This restaurant is overpriced and serves lousy food. My husband had lobster thermidor for $30 and it was inedible. I had chicken for $25 and it was a completely dried out piece of chicken that was covered in some weird sweet sauce. They have no clue how to cook, and absolutely no clue about good service. The restaurant, if you... more

We had lunch at Xtabi last week. I had the cold lobster salad and my husband had the jerk chicken w/ fries. Both plates were good- but we have had better jerk in Jamaica, it was good, just not HOT enough for our liking. I swam and explored the caves while we waited for our meal, which was not a... more

I was a little hesitant to order the filet mignon but was happy I did, it was done just as I asked and was fantastic. Service was great and we sat down just at sunset and the views from the cliffs were great. For a supposedley "fancy" restaurant there was still people hanging around in their bathing suits and smoking... more

After reading the recommendations on Trip Advisor, we decided to try this restaurant. Since we had read that they would provide free pickup at your hotel, I called to reserve and asked to be picked up at 6 and she agreed to that. We went out by the road at 10 of 6 to wait. By 6:30 we were getting... more

A bit on the pricy side, but always delivers. Xtabi is our choice for New Year's Eve dinner. We have been going here for over 10 years. The cliffside dining is great and you can explore the caves while you are waiting for dinner. The service is good although they are sometimes out of some of the items on the... more

My husband and I are debating over our favorite restaurant while we were in Negril and it's between Kuyaba and Xtabi. Xtabi was highly recommended to us by 2 other couples that we met while we were there. We loved the cliffside dining-very romantic. And the food was very very good as well. Great steak! I believe we got soup... more
