"Enormously popular, the Cliff Restaurant indeed sits right over the sea in Saint James Parish, andall of thetables on its two levels afford fine views. Many of theseafood dishes, such as curry mussels and chargrilled swordfish, are Asian influenced. At night, the outdoorseating area isilluminated by torchlight, revealingthe stingrays swimming below."

Kitty and I had an absolutely amazing evening at the Cliff last night! The staff treated us like royalty. The summer 4 course menu was perfect for us and we each shared a glass of red and white. I think the summer menu is a great idea and just brought the meal into our affordability bracket! Thank you so much and we very much hope we can return again in the future! Best wishes James and Kitty

I recently visited The Cliff Restaurant on a recommendation from a friend whilst there for my 40th Birthday. I am so pleased as I was blown away. The location is truly breath-taking. One of the most unique restaurant locations I've ever experienced, perfectly complemented by it's decor and ambience. The food was out of this world. There were two of us and from the bread to the steak to the dessert, everything that touched our lips was completely devoured. Finally, what really took it to next level was the service. We had an issue with our reservation and on the final of three days of our trip, I was wracked with unfounded concern that this would prevent our visit. It didn't and the manner it was resolved was with the utmost professionalism. Then at every step of our visit, every member of staff we spoke to was knowledgeable, approachable and friendly. Modern restaurants need to begin to recognise that this is what sets the world class experiences from everyone else. That steadfast commitment to a great customer experience. Cannot wait to go back. Thank you to all the staff.

While we were here for drinks mainly, the atmosphere and ambience is unmatched. From the view to the staff, everything is top tier. The limoncello is crafted in house by the bar manager and is delicious. While I can’t attest to the food, I can only imagine it is incredible as well!

We had high expectations from learning this was supposed to be one of the best restaurants in the Caribbean. During our stay we went to Tides, Champers, Lone Star, Tapas and Primo.All fine dining restaurants. We were celebrating 3 occasions this holiday, so we didn't mind splashing out on fine dining and so didn't district ourselves to cost. The place, ambience, decor, location and service was all 5 star. But unfortunately the food was not and at best 2 stars. Especially when you factor the cost as this was the most expensive restaurant we went to from all the ones mentioned. They served some complimentary entrees which includes lobster balls, salted sticks with fish mayo. All good so far. Choice of bread and butter was very good. Drinks ordered were pretty amazing, although the nin alcoholic ware not so amazing. Starters we ordered a beef tartare, Waldorf salad, and a couple of different sushis. Beef tartare was excellent. Sushi was mediocre at best. Had better sushi in UK local Japanese restaurants. There were 8 pieces so it was generous. But the taste and quality didn't elevate at all. Wasabi had no taste and was dry. No kick or fire to clean the pallet. Waldrof salad was the biggest disappointment with 4 decided small leaves and was barely even a starter! For mains we went with the beef wellington to share , lamb chops and a chicken Kiev. The beef was good and tasty, although I wouldn't say 5 stars. The lamb chops were a little disappointing and didn't have much flavour. He chicken Kiev was undercooked to one half and had to be sent back and really didn't taste of much. They were good enought to. It charge for that. But then two courses at $330 and 3 courses at $380 Bajan dollars was a lot anyway and it just didn't feel worth it. We ordered two deserts, a raspberry cheesecake and a soufflé.l with Bailey's cream. Those were excellent. They did make us feel special and and bought a little anniversary dessert too. And then something to clean the pallet. Os all in all I would have given this place a 3.5 star at best overall. I think if they get the food right with a top chef then this place could be something special.

The police is super nice and super modern in terms of decor look and feel. The staff are really nice and attentive and very professional to boot. The appetizers are actually quite tasty, the tomato salad is not to be missed it's actually incredible. The sushi was ok, the reported wagyu steak was mediocre at best, it was not very tender and it seemed like a power cut of meat. The bread rolls are ok, the one with the bacon was quite nice. The bill was very high for the quality of food. The decor and the staff make up for it somewhat.

Everything about this restaurant was 10/10 , a little on the pricy side but worth every penny. Had a lovely meal with my partner and we received exceptional service. The sushi is definitely highly recommended by us.

We go out of our way to try and find the best restaurant wherever we travel. The Cliff is rated #1 in Barbados so we made reservations a few months ago. Reservations require a $150 deposit to make sure you’re going to show up. You would be doing yourself a serious disservice by not showing up. My wife had the Lobster and I had the Waygu steak. My wife said the lobster was the best she ever had. The steak didn’t disappoint either. It was easily the best steak I’ve ever had. Now, let’s talk about the service. I’m can’t overstate the professionalism and how kind everyone was. I wish I could give this restaurant 10 stars because that’s what it deserves.

Amazing dinner, superb service and magnificent view. The wine cellar is outstanding, the food has nothing to envy any Michelin 3 star restaurant. Even the bread service is a show. Its pricey but justifiable. One of the best, if not the best, places in Barbados. This place is a top restaurant compared to any city in the world. Magnificent!
