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.
