We were staying at Sugar Hill so this was a short walk through the gardens. No driving so no restrictions on the cocktails - which were delicious. Service was excellent and the food very tasty. lovely view over the infinity pool.

We were staying at Royal Westmoreland and passed the sign for this place daily which is located in the Sugar Hill development on the West Coast. Somehow the sign never invited us in but a tennis partner suggested the restaurant was great for Sunday lunch with great views of the West Coast. We couldn't make Sunday lunch but went for... More

We enjoyed our meals, and were fortunate to have chosen an evening with live music which always adds to the ambiance. The restaurant overlooks a beautiful pool which overlooks the whole coast. My husband's catch of the day was amazing, my red snapper was good, but not excellent. We were the first ones in the restaurant and yet it seemed... More

We had a great lunch here. Excellent food in a totally relaxing environment, where the views of the island's greenery inland made a change from the sands and seas of similar restaurants. A bit of a shame we couldn't continue our time here with a languid half hour in the pool which the restaurant overlooks; apparently that's for residents only.... More

We always love a hidden gem and Sassafrass is no exception but it is exceptional! Open only two evenings a week, Sassafrass is beautifully nestled into the luxury neighborhood of Sugar Hill, across the road from Royal Westmoreland. This dining experience is glorious. The live music wafted across the infinity pool, the dining room and over the roof tips of... More

Romantic location. We were there after dark, but the view is supposed to be fantastic. Service is fast, and great. Food was very tasty. Even after trying Daphne's and The Tides, this restaurant still stood out as a great dining place. NB! only open for dinner 2 nights a week.

We have been visiting Sassafras since they took over Nico's opposite The Cliff and have always loved the food and atmosphere. Since they moved to Sugar Hill I'm not sure the food is quite so stunning but it's still great and definitely worth a visit. Dining out in Barbados is an expensive business and can be very hit and miss... More
