Lone Star Restaurant & Hotel

Went for dinner. Second time in a year. Food is interesting and most dishes are among the best on the island. Ambience and view are great. Cocktails are OK. Crab cake appetizer is a bit lacking in crab and a pass next time. The catch of the day was beautifully plated and cooked to perfection. Lamb rack was also cooked to our liking. Service is ok and probably fairly consistent for Barbados but as it is one of the priciest restaurants on the island I think the service needs improvement. I think there’s a lot of staff but no individual overseeing or in charge of the table.

Great location on the beach, perfect for a sunset drink. Very good food but small portions. I had the rack of lamb and received only 3 chops! The salads are good and fresh. The coconut shrimp are excellent. The swordfish cooked perfectly.

Best on the island for sure, best meal we had, prices are fair what your given, staff were top notch would be going back if I return to Barbados! Very comfortable very beautiful, no complaints what’s so ever. Every dish we had was plated beautifully and had tons of flavour 5 Stars

Should be called zero star restaurant. You have to eat and leave within two hours. There’s so many nice ways to say this and there are nasty ways to say it. I think that they have mastered the nastiest possible way to communicate that information right before you sit down for your dinner while you’re on vacation. Poor food, poor service poor cocktails - nasty attitude. Oh, and even more ridiculous you can wear a ball cap in there to have dinner but certainly no sandals.

IF 0 STARS WAS AN OPTION … We have visited the Lonestar many times over the years, however, over the past couple of years we have become more disappointed with the quality, service and price point. This culminated in our recent trip when we went for lunch as a family of 4, waited over 1/2hr hour after our reservation time to be seated, were then promptly ignored, not given any menus and when we were finally able to order, were told there were no children’s options. The food then took over 1hr to arrive during which time we were reminded that there was a time limit on the table! We were willing to put this terrible experience down to a “bad day at the office” until we attended for breakfast a few days later for a reservation made by our friends at 10am. Admittedly our party arrived just before 10:10am (totally our fault), whereupon we were turned away and told that they couldn’t accommodate us by the older lady on the front desk, who couldn’t have delivered the message with any less grace! Will not be returning.

We've been there with friends for a sundowner. After serving our drinks, the waiter was not seen anymore. We would have appreciated if he came again checking on our glasses and pouring more wine. This is not the service we expected from such a high priced restaurant. Even the restaurant manager (not sure if she is the manager but acted like one) came up with a lame " the people drinking at the beach want to chill and not being annoyed...". On the invoice was a position "bread $ 0,00". We asked if we were supposed to get some bread with the drinks - but she denied. I doubt that you normally don't get something to snack on with your drinks in such a high class restaurant. We had a dinner reservation for two days later and canceled it. Don't want to spend a fortune for poor service. We always liked to go to the Lone Star - but there are definitely other restaurants we can visit.

So this review is for the restaurant only! I first came here 20 years ago and it was te for a revisit! We arrived a later early for lunch and paeked across the street in there car park. You can really appreciate the setting here in the day time, its stunning! On to the starters, crab cakes delicious, nice Calamari. Mains was a excellent medium rare beef burger as requested and a lovely chicken pasta. Now we did have a pizza with a base more like a flat bread which was a little disappointing but nice flavour. Dessert was a sticky toffee pud, cheesecake and birthday cake all of which wherever good. Working out about £100 each which includes a bottle of wine and a cocktail. Staff are polite, professional and attentive here. The foods excellent and Scenery fantastic so id definitely recommend popping in for a spot of lunch

Review for the restaurant only. Beautiful place to eat, great tasty food, happy staff. Only issue was a 30 minute delay to get our table which spoilt the experience a little. Overall loved the setting and would certainly return
