    First of all let me say, the atmosphere here is so relaxed and laid back it is akin to being at home. The food is excellent, the portions are healthy and aromatic, flavourful. Cean and rustic resturant and the washrooms are impeccable with hot running water and modern fixtures. 😍 Dawn from the moment we stepped it emanated love and humor and natural beauty. Nicole also. There's Dawn's homemade rum and sauces and dressing, All Awesome! This place gets a 10 out if 10!

    If you're looking a chill spot on the northern end of Antigua island, then here's the place to be. Interestingly enough, the taste takes you to every Caribbean island. The tranquil garden environment is great for romantic dining experience. Price is on the high middle income range but the food is quite filling and gets you ready to unbutton the waist. The crafted alcohol selection is a must have and it's the perfect spot to have the bar tender hook you up with anything for your mood. Person's in wheelchairs may have a bit of problem accessing the restaurant without help.

    Lovely restaurant with a gorgeous outdoor space. The food was very good, and the menu was large and varied. Dawne, the proprietor, is there to chat with her guests. The staff was all very welcoming and friendly. Loved the tamarind lollipop they gave me for my flight, too! Great spot.

    Dawne really is a ray of sunshine. Her warm personality is half the reason I like it here. The menu changes daily and she's fairly open to customize things to your taste. The atmosphere is relaxing and her bar is fully stocked.

    This was hands down the best food we had whilst on the island. What made it even better was the lovely Dawne who brightened up our holiday. We could have sat there for hours just chatting and drinking her lovely cocktails. Now it's time to go home back to London where I'm sure I'll be attempting to recreate some of her magic in my own kitchen (wish me luck!) P.s. try the salad - you won't be disappointed

    Excellent food and warm atmosphere. Went there based on google reviews and so glad we did. Food is fresh and made with local ingredients, well presented and had a lively time chatting with the owner, lovely lady. The guava passion fruit colada was amazing, can actually taste the flavor of real guava. The beef stew was tender and marinated to perfection. A definite place to try, not only for the delicious food but also the perfect ambiance.

    Favorite dining experience in Antigua. Visited Dawne's over a year ago and this review is way over due. We went several times during our week long stay. Great options for both vegans/vegetarians and those who eat meat and fish. The staff was super friendly and I will definitely be back to dine during our next trip.

    During our short stay in Antigua we ate here twice. Fantastic atmosphere, extremely friendly service, and wonderful food. If you only go for the bread pudding it’s worth a visit BUT there’s so much more to enjoy.

    Absolutely fabulous lunch, and one of the best Rum Punches on island. And our daughter who left her beach towel there says please keep it, and make use of it! It is basically new, and from Marrakesh. We left very happy 😁

    Loved everything about this restaurant. The food was amazing: had cockles in white wine and curried conch. Went back there for lunch the next day. Highly recommended.

    I cannot say enough good things about Dawn’s. This restaurant was by far my favorite on the island, and you must go when visiting Antigua. Dawn’s food is fantastic and her company is even better. From the homemade bread, infused oils, and fresh ingredients to her amazing lemongrass infusion drinks, everything is so delicious. I got the Island Quinoa Salad with different toppings each time - mahi mahi, shrimp, jerk chicken- and it was always refreshing, light, and so tasty! Not to mention her tamarind vinaigrette which I took back to the states with me :) Dawn’s is such a welcoming place to have a meal - can’t recommend it enough!

    We came in before our flight and immediately greeted by Dawne. We were on the island for 4 days and shot ourselves in the foot because we found the best food on the island the last day we were there! Everything was seasoned and presented to perfection. Really wish I found this restaurant earlier. When I think of Caribbean food this is what I was expecting.

    Dawne is an absolute gem! The food is super delicious and the service is the best you'll get on the island. Every dish was thoughtfully created and mouth-watering. It is definitely my favourite restaurant to go to when I'm in Antigua! I can't wait to try the salt fish Akra again - yum!
