Came here at the recommendation of Kevin, he runs a boat taxi from mainland to Young Island. Did not disappoint, the service was impeccable, the food was delicious and I enjoyed my meal with against the backdrop of the ocean and Young Island. Very soothing, enjoyable and you can see the waves splashing ashore

Food was good and very friendly staff has great views, visited twice but not all options on the menu were available. I did have a very tasty shrimp roti The views are great from here directly across from Young Island.

Update as of 23Jan23. I'm not sure what happened from the last time I was here to now. The food wasn't as good and the service was very indifferent. I could feel a difference of treatment this time from last time. All customers should be treated the same regardless of whether you are a local or foreign. Please return the standards of islander home welcoming. I will be back in the future, but until then this is my review. Let me tell you. This restaurant is top of the line. Everything that I ordered here has been top tier. I plan on coming again in the future and if you haven't come here yet then I recommend you come out of your way to come here. The staff was very professional, the prices of the food and drinks are very fair, and the food was freshly made everytime and freshly served. I can only speak nothing but wonders about this restaurant. Everyone here has a beautiful soul and I wish nothing but blessings upon the restaurant. Also, the restaurant is apart of the hotel and also it's own separate thing as well. As in you do not have to stay at the hotel in order to order at this fine establishment. Once again team. I thank you guys for making my trip here that much sweeter. Until next time.

Food was below average, service was slow/forgetful. The set dinner is not worth it, I'd avoid. The view of the water is impeccable though, and if you're staying at the hotel (which is nice and has great service) it's fine for a meal or two.

Located in the Mariners Hotel...I stopped in for a drink as it was a scorching day outside, I wanted something icy or frozen, so I request the BBC cocktail which I must say was so good and well blended, the service was prompt and restaurant very quiet for a lunch time, but the views out to the ocean was spectacular and young island right within view...that can't be beat.

The view of Young Island from this restaurant is just lovely. This restaurant affords an ideal place from which to see the Island. The shrimp cocktail was delicious, as was the beef roti. The portions were a decent size. The beef roti was tasty and I recommend it. The area outside is really nice because of the view and it is great to watch people from the hotel go for a swim. There were many lovely items on the menu, making it difficult to select a meal. The members of staff are really friendly and attentive. On our second visit, I had the tuna, which was delicious. The drinks menu is diverse and there is a great variety of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

The main attraction to this location is that it’s ocean side, so there’s a lovely view while you dine. The drinks were average, the Meat-lovers pasta (a penne carbonara?) was great too, and the burger that I had was absolutely wonderful - very well seasoned. Though, I was surprised that I wasn’t asked how I would like my meat prepared. I asked for cheese to be added and had to literally tear the burger down the middle to find said cheese. I thought it was absent and told my server who was respectful and apologized. After which, management (a lady), came over and insisted that cheese was added by the chef. After having to massacre the burger and complete an inspection with her hovering, the cheese was found. If it’s a cheeseburger, I shouldn’t have to complete a dissection and a hunt to find it. Other than that mishap, the experience was good, as it usually is.

I normally don't write bad reviews but I want to steer people away from this place so they don't have a terrible meal like all of us did. Long story short, almost everything we ordered in a group of 9 people was awful. The tomato pasta was especially bad, it tasted like chef boyardee sauce from a can or ketchup with a ton of sugar added. The margaritas apparently tasted like straight sugar water. The waitress was not friendly, they were out of many things that we tried to order (no tomatoes, so no margarita pizza, no fajitas, no mint for a mojito, many others). Three people were served dinner and then the rest of us sat without food for maybe 15 minutes, then another few people were served, while 2 people still were waiting for their drinks. It was just an all around awful experience and we all were talking about how incredibly bad the experience was for the rest of the night. Dont make the same mistake we did, please go somewhere else
