Dinner here is always good. But try a Monday night for a special treat. Make a reservation and let Tanner handle the crowd!

The views were amazing and so was the food. It is definitely worth the trek up the driveway to dine at this restaurant. I'd suggest arriving early and enjoying a cocktail (or two) before dinner.

This was the best meal of our trip to Saba. The setting is beautiful and the food was spectacular. The price point wasn't any higher than most of the restaurants on the island. We were the only people eating there that night and wondered why. The place should be packed!

I was in Saba visiting family for the past 2 weeks and I decided try the Bistro this past Tuesday. Contrary to most, we did not have seafood. I and my mother in law had Prime Rib (Tuesday special) and my wife and her dad had Lamb. The food was fantastic, it was possible the best prime rib I've had... More

We dined twice at the Bistro del Mare while in Saba on a dive trip. The food and service were impeccable and we had the pleasure of personal service from the owner Paul. He is quite the martini afficianado and the well stocked bar will keep any thirsty patron happy with an excellent selection of top shelf liquor. Make sure... More

I went to Bistro Del Mare twice during my stay on Saba during the week of January 14th through the 21st. The experience was outstanding! From the moment we walked in the front doors we were impressed. The decor was outstanding. The service was prompt and right on point. The food was absolutely five star all the way. I really... More

The place is absolutely gorgeous ... probably the fanciest Restaurant on Saba (which the proprietor will second). The bar has a vast selection and the restaurant great views, attentive service, and a cool atmosphere. Obviously all this comes at a premium price (as compared to your average restaurant on Saba/Windwardside). Would definitely come back for one (1) good dinner on... More

The food and service at Bistro del Mare are exceptional. My husband and I are "foodies", so we appreciate both quality and presentation of our food, as well as a nice scratch kitchen. The prices per entree don't seem to be out of line with any of the other nice restaurants we visited on Saba. I would rank Bistro del... More

My husband and I spent a week on Saba over Christmas. We ate out every night and Bistro del Mar was by far our favorite dining experience. Our meals were so tasty, the atmosphere and views are beautiful and the service could not have been better. If we decide to return to Saba we'll probably stay at the hotel given... More

So happy you came to Bistro del Mare and took time to write about your visit. We are pleased we can offer so many different seafood items on our menu and of course being in the Caribbean and surround by the water... well it somewhat goes hand in hand. I love seafood but I am a huge fan of red... More
