Haven't heard any great reports about the food up there. We at one point had hoped to get up there for their pizza mid afternoon last visit, but that just never panned out. Great place for drinks and sunset.

We don't eat there as the food is generally not worth the money. We used to go up occasionally for sunset but the flies were so bad around the bar..... I don't think they clean well enough as the flies are attracted to things like simply syrup, etc. and you don't see them that heavy at other bars. JMHO, Linda

Send a message via Skype™ to Andrea J.
this restaurant by way of the location should be the #1 place on the island

have any of the forum members been honest with the owner/manager

i wonder if they just do not know?

i would email them and list concerns

paul and i ate there 2x and found it expensive and the food not worth the expense certainly not spaghetti o quality but certainly not great

I have been their twice for the full meal and both times the food was not good at all and very overpriced.. Now we just go for appetizers and drinks at sunset on the deck and go somewhere else for dinner.

We have tried there many times and we still get the same result- not worth it. The sunset from the lighthouse is great but thats about it. When I was there last Augast, we first were seated outside, but we asked to move inside because of the bugs and it was just too dark and their lights were too dim, we couldnt even read the menus! Also, we looked under our table....and there was a cat sitting there!
