Straw Hat Restaurant

We went to Anguilla for the day and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! Of course, you have to get past customs and get your passport stamped!!! Our taxi driver took us the Straw Hat. It was recommended to us, so we went to see what it was about. First, our timing was perfect. It was still early in the day and there were not alot of patrons yet. We sat outside and outside was a patio that overlooked the white sands and beach! The view was awesome and it was so peaceful!!!! Our server was great and the food was 10/10!! We had red snapper (common theme for our meals), beans and rice, veggies, jerk chicken and tuna! When in Anguilla, definitely eat here!

The food was absolutely amazing! I went for breakfast and dinner and both were great. The drinks were amazing as well! A lot of options and they are pretty strong!! As far as the service.. it was top tier! Rosie was sooooo sweet. She made the experience that much better. You can tell she is a hard worker and really takes care of her guests!! I totally recommend this place and definitely ask for Rosie!! We went twice while here both on Wednesday nights and there was live music which I loved. Also if you sit in front of their restaurant in the beach chairs (free) and along the beach down to turtles nest, someone will come out with their food & drink menu and serve you right from the beach. Omar served us from the beach and he was also outstanding! Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back.

Talk about breakfast/dinner with a view!!! Beautiful restaurant overlooking the beach and Mead’s Bay. Very quiet and peaceful listening to the water hit the shore. Probably the most peaceful breakfast and dinner spot. Staff very helpful and friendly, food fresh and nicely prepared. By far the best breakfast on the island! They offer chairs and umbrellas to their dining and bar guests.

we headed back to Meads for dinner at the Straw Hat. We started with the Tuna flatbread, which has been my favorite thing we have had to eat so far. They brought us some warm bread in a straw hat, which was a cool touch. The bread was sweet, and very good. For dinner my wife had the seafood pasta, which was loaded with fish and shrimp and extremely rich. I had the simple grill mahi mahi with coconut rice, Asian salad, and a ginger vinaigrette. We then had the coffee ice cream pie for dessert. It was a great place to sit and watch the July 4th fireworks from the Four Seasons.

We arrived via taxi late at 7:30 after sunset and had no wait. You could likely walk from your hotel along Meads Bay, but sand is soft and you will need a phone or flashlight. Recommend taking a taxi. Food was excellent and arrived promptly. Would definitely recommend it.

The best service! The BESTT PANCAKES!! And the eggs!!!!! I think the eggs were fresh off the farm that day!!!! Lets also mention the best views! I wish I could remember our servers names! It was two of them and they were amazing!!!!!!

For being a fancy restaurant, the food was not very creative. The waitress recommended the pork chop. Although not an interesting dish, it was actually superbly executed, and it was delicious. However, my chicken had a very bland Creole sauce, and the chicken was a little dry, but the service was very good. Dessert was good. However, for a smaller check, we had a better dinner at E's oven.

We came back after 10 years and it was just as good as we remembered it. Awesome and delicious! An amazing seating on the beach and a 10 minute walk from the four seasons along the beach. Great kids menu too! The tuna, crayfish and the salad were exceptional! And big portions so come hungry. And don’t forget to order the tuna tart and the ice cream sandwich!
