We stopped in for a quick bite and a cool local drink. At first we thought the rather blah reception was just mid-afternon island casual and it went down hill from there. By then it was clear that there was a surly disregard for patrons. We were never asked if the food and drink were good, andwere happy to leave.... More

The wings and ribs appetizer were nothing more regular wings and ribs basted in BBQ sauce from a jar. The conch fritters had no conch in them. The barely tasted like fried stove top stuffing.

If you are looking for good food and quick, good service. The Barefoot Restaurant is the place to go. Prices are reasonable. Located right on the pier where the water taxis drop you off if you are on cruise ships. It is easy to find. You may sit indoors or outside.
