Fodor's Review:

Chef Paul Owens' mastery is the foundation of one of the finest dining experiences in the Caribbean, with prices to match. Steep steps hug the cliff on which the restaurant sits to accommodate those arriving by yacht, and every candlelit table has a sea view. Starters include smoked salmon ravioli with garlic sauce or grilled portobello mushroom on greens with truffle vinaigrette; for the main course, try Caribbean shrimp with a Thai green-curry coconut sauce, veal chop with a mustard-and-tarragon sauce, or red snapper fillet on a baked potato cake. Dessert falls into the sinful category, and service is impeccable. The prix-fixe menu will set you back $93 per person for a two-course meal (starter-main course or main course-dessert) or $110 per person for a three-course meal. Reserve days or even weeks in advance to snag a table at the front of the terrace for the best view.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

This is a very enjoyable restaurant, great architecture, lovely view of the sea, excellent service. There's a buzz. People are enjoying themselves. I heard someone say "And what's your next movie going to be?". The food is quite good and the prices are high. Go anyway.

One of our favorite restaurants in the world. The setting , professional service and most importantly the food and its presentation make for a must visit when in Barbados.Try late evening drinks in the lounge on the cliff above the dining room for a romantic interlude.
