This restaurant definitely was not as advertised. First of all, it's located right next to the noisy highway, so if you eat outside, you have the ambiance of trucks and cars go by. Some people have mentioned that this is a great location for a romantic dinner, they must think the sound of traffic is romantic. That aside, let's talk about the food. The salads were pre made and obviously held in a cooler until served. The meals themselves were lackluster at best. My wife had a shrimp and pasta dish and the pasta was clearly old and overcooked. The shrimp part of the dish was tough and rubbery and lacking flavor. I had a grilled fish dish and it didn't taste very grilled. There was mention of this being a great place to watch the sunset. I'm not sure why since it's on the east side of the island and surrounded by trees so you cannot view the sunset at all. Maybe people mistook the headlights on the highway for the sun setting. Finally, I had emailed ahead of time and mentioned that this was a special occasion, my wife's birthday, and I was assured by the person that responded to me, that they would preset our table with flowers and a candle and make sure that we had special treatment. Upon arriving no one seemed to know about any special requests and the special table we received was a two top, outside, facing the parking lot with no preset anything. For the same price we went to Morada Bay the following night and had an amazing meal, actually saw the sunset, and sat at a table in the sand while barefoot.
The Conch House is unimpressive at best, overpriced and should be ashamed of itself. Clearly we will not return.
