"Barbados’ Best Spot for Lobster, Lobster Alive There's simply no better place to get Caribbean spiny lobster on Barbados than Lobster Alive. Fact. Why? Because practically every lobster sold in every restaurant on the island comes through this one unassuming location. The problem is that due to Barbados' natural shoreline topography, there are no quality lobster habitats – the waters surrounding the island are too deep to support lobsters in large enough quantities to meet the tastes and demands of locals and visitors. This means that all the islands lobsters need to be imported and that's all done by one man: Art Taylor, an Australian with an airplane who realized long ago that the best way to get fresh lobster in Barbados was to go off-island and get it himself. Each week, he flies twice to Bequia in the Grenadines and loads his small single-engine Cherokee airplane with a good 700 pounds of the spiny treats. Yum!"

Fresh amazing lobsters just by the beach. It's on the pricier side, but worth it, we came here twice. Can be busy in the evenings, booking recommended. Going for the lobster itself rather than other dishes makes sense here.

Lobster Alive, Barbados – Lovely Beachfront Ambience Before leaving the island, I visited Lobster Alive for a solo lunch. Located on the beachfront, the light, beachy decor perfectly matched the vibe. I was warmly greeted by the front-of-house team and my waiter. In a rush, I managed to enjoy a starter, a rich pasta main, and a glass of wine. The food was nice, though I’d try the lobster next time. The calming ambience, with gentle music and stunning beach views, made it a worthwhile experience. The front-of-house team went the extra mile to help me get a cab and navigate traffic quickly to my destination. While I’d happily return, I’d also feel content if I didn’t. Worth a visit for the atmosphere!

I went twice, Very nice beachfront restaurant with an enjoyable atmosphere. A jazz band was playing swing, not my taste but they were very good musicians. The service is very attentive. Particularly, the lobster and creme brulee were delicious. Be aware, it is expensive.

Lobster Alive in Carlisle Bay is a true beachfront gem, offering an unforgettable dining experience. We were fortunate to secure a table right on the sand, surrounded by white tablecloths and candles, all while enjoying the soothing sounds of the ocean and live jazz. The food was exceptional, with fresh seafood and beautiful presentation. The drink menu was impressive, featuring creative cocktails and a well-curated wine list. Our attentive server made the experience even better. Overall, although Lobster Alive is pricier, it’s still a must-visit for a romantic evening or a delightful meal. The combination of stunning views, fantastic food, and live music makes it a standout spot in Barbados. Huge thumbs up!

Very nice restaurant in Bridgetown Day or night. Live Jazz band on the evening we visited. We sat on the deck which site in between the restaurant and the beach so you get the best of both worlds. You won’t hear the band if you’re on the beach. Well trained and well presented staff who are also pleasant. Large Lobster Thermidor would feed two people!
