Castaways Barbados

Back again for a delicious evening. Pleasant evenings dining here. Excellent location open air overlooking the sea at the gap. And when the rain started to fall staff quick released the canopy to cover the area. Food and wine was pretty good here but there was no break between the first and second courses! Literally one after the other. Also on arrival the bottom floor of the restaurant was completely empty and the sign on the reception was turned around so there was no indication it was first floor dialling only! Set menu option. Staff were polite and attentive.

Fantastic food and service Good value for money. Superb location Highly recommended

The setting of this restaurant is lovely, the rum punch was lovely, then our meal arrived. My husband had the fish & chips, I had the half chicken with bbq sauce and rice and peas. The fish & chips came in what can only be described as a fruit basket lined with fake newspaper. As it was impossible to cut the food without tearing the paper, part of his meal ended up on the table! The fish was barracuda and was nice. My chicken 🐔, well that bird must have had a hard life! It was tough and dry, add in the rice and peas, this made the meal even drier! I ate half of it because I was hungry, my husband tried the other half. We mentioned these points to the waitress and she just laughed! This place is not cheap and we were looking forward to a lovely meal. Needless to say there are better places on the gap to spend out money. Perhaps we were just unlucky, we won't be back to test that theory.

The atmosphere was relaxed and service was friendly, without being over the top. We arrived a little early and the server seated us straight away and offered us the happy hour cocktail menu even though there was only a few minutes left in happy hour! The location is gorgeous and you can hear the waves crashing as you eat. We had the blackened catch of the day and the fish and chips. Both were delicious.

This was a great experience - expensive. The food was good to great, depending on the dish. I got the catch of the day, king fish, and it was cooked to perfection. My wife got the ribs, they were very smoky - if you like that. My wig thought the pina colada was top tier. My kids were less impressed. They liked the food, but didn’t love it - nor finish it.

Our booking coincided with happy hour which was a good bonus. From entering to leaving the restaurant staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. The food was amazing. Fish cakes- best ever., well presented and the sauce was Devine. Cheeky wee garlic veg dish for a starter for the vegetarian. The blackened fish wow, 2 large chunky pieces of well seasoned and cooked fish, rested on top of the most perfect mash with veg and curry sauce around the plate. The pasta was of a large portion and delicious. Too full for dessert but coffee was lovely. The views were excellent. The Pinot Grigio was that good we had 3 glasses each. Highly recommended.

Really friendly and hospitable staff. Always checking to see if you needed anything. The food was nice and the setting was incredible being a waterfront restaurant. Really enjoyed dining here. Was so so quiet which we couldn’t quite understand as it is a lovely restaurant and we would have thought would be more busy!

Very good service, very attentive and very good quality food. Definitely recommend the calamari. Overall a great evening over the water. Bit pricey but worth it.
