Fodor's Review:
In 2006, owner Chiryl Newman relocated her popular restaurant and watering hole to elegant new digs -- an old Bajan home renovated into a snazzy seaside restaurant -- on a quiet lane just off the main South Coast road in Rockley. Luncheon guests -- about 75% local businesspeople -- enjoy repasts such as char-grilled beef salad, Champers fish pie, grilled barracuda, or chicken and mushroom fettuccine napped in a creamy chardonnay sauce. Dinner guests swoon over dishes such as the roasted rack of lamb with spring vegetables and mint-infused jus, the sautéed sea scallops with stir-fried vegetables and noodles with red Thai curry sauce, and the Parmesan-crusted barracuda with whole-grain mustard sauce. But this isn't nouvelle cuisine. The portions are hearty and the food is well seasoned with Caribbean flavors, "just the way the locals like it," says Newman. The cliff-top setting overlooking Accra Beach offers diners a panoramic view of the sea and a relaxing atmosphere for daytime dining. At night, particularly at the bar, there's a definite buzz in the air. Nearly all the artwork gracing the walls is by Barbadian artists and may be purchased through the on-site gallery.

Great for that special night!

Celebrated my 70th Birthday here and had a wonderful meal with very good service! We had the Lamb and Pork dishes both of which were tender, well cooked, and just great! Deserts were also excellent. A bit expensive but worth it for that special night!
