    It was the suitable location for a mothers day llucnh between 2 families. Decent ambiance, not too crowded but not too sparse. Good portions and the food did look like what was promoted on their website.

    Wow! Incredible food. Superior service. Spectacular ocean view. Must see, and eat. Restaurant Mgr Churyl-Ann. Server Lisa! Ordered classic English Breakfast. Perfect coffee. They were open as advertised and on time. On The Bay restaurant is part of Yellowbird hotel. Restaurant is normally focused on guests, which include the breakfast on some room plans. I was treated like a king. Which is nice compared to a nearby place that was not open as advertised. I was not compensated in any manner for this review. See below my view of water and mimosa, of course!

    It was very calm at the time, no one was really in the restaurant. The server was polite and the wait time for the food wasn't too long. I had a chicken pizza with sweet peppers that was very refreshing. For a spontaneous affordable lunch out, I would recommend.

    Went to this restaurant on a peaceful Sunday morning for breakfast and it was definitely a great experience. The service was excellent and the food was great. Prices were fine. I’d definitely recommend this restaurant (judging from the breakfast).

    Had Sunday morning breakfast at On The Bay. Great location, not too busy. Good view of the sea from the dining area. Our group ordered the Big Up Bajan Breakfast, Hearty English Breakfast and The Bay Stack. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed their meals.

    The food was great. I enjoyed breakfast and dinner. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. Great experience and I would recommend it to everyone visiting Barbados.

  • 5/5 Tanisha F. 2 years ago on Google
    We did the Mimosa breakfast which includes granola cereal, yogurt, French toast, an assorted fruit bowl and of course a Mimosa! This comes with every order. It was all very good. The restaurant accepts walk-ins and does take-out. However, it is recommended to make reservations if you wish to have the Mimosa Breakfast.

  • 5/5 Robin B. 5 years ago on Google
    Lunch was fantastic, staff professional and courteous We will be back

  • 4/5 Lisa D. 2 years ago on Google
    The breakfast was good, prices are reasonable, nice scenery of the pool and ocean, friendly waitress (Jamilah) and hostess (Cheryl-Ann), limited parking space and a variety of breakfast menu items

  • 5/5 James S. 5 years ago on Google
    Went to on the bay which sits within the yellow bird hotel for my daughter's birthday. The service was really good and we had a very attentive and friendly waitress. All four of us in our party really enjoyed our food and drinks. Consider the average cost of meals on the island, I think the restaurant was good value for money.

  • 5/5 Charlotte S. 5 years ago on Google
    Visited several times whilst staying at the Yellow Bird hotel. Lovely food, great service and good value for money compared to other local restaurants. Recommend the Big Up Bajan Breakfast and the blackened Mahi Mahi for dinner - delicious!

  • 5/5 D R. 5 years ago on Google
    Service was the best I've seen on the island. Food was ok but I would come back for the ambiance, view, and great customer service. Thank you On The Bay for making my last day in Barbados a memorable one.

  • 4/5 Adedeji H. 2 years ago on Google
    The location at the start of the famous Saint Lawrence Gap overlooking the sea makes it unique. The swimming pool opposite it also adds to the scenery and ambience of the place. The food variety for breakfast and dinner was excellent. The cocktail was also on point. The customer service was very good, they were very attentive and were always eager to please.

  • 4/5 Michelle P. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was very good considering it was Easter Sunday im assuming that's why it was not busy as everywhere else looked like it had customers we wanted to support and it was a great decision the chocolate martini attempted was definitely what made me content 😀

  • 2/5 Jennifer V. 2 years ago on Google
    Really great pancakes but awfully long wait. We waited an hour and were told that we would still have to pay the service charge. Good place to go if it isn't busy but not great if they have more than two tables.

  • 4/5 Brett C. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a peaceful, nice and relaxing Mothers Day breakfast at On The Bay. Service, food and ambiance were very nice and comfortable.

  • 2/5 Kyle A. 1 year ago on Google
    Did not feel welcome. Treated as if we were lost at first and curtly even after making it clear we meant to dine. Food itself was palatable, portion sizes small. Barbados cherry juice was the only highlight. Recommend teaching staff that all tourists may not "look tourist".

  • 4/5 michael m. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for food and a drink overlooking the bay. I had a blended fruit cocktail which absolutely hit the spot after a day in the sun. Friendly staff and a reasonably priced menu means I'll be returning for a drink and to watch the sunset

    Wonderful as always . Still the best breakfast in Barbados at a reasonable price

    Service was poor. The eggs were so greasy I couldn't eat them. We ordered orange juice and after asking twice we got pineapple juice. I am still waiting for the glass of water I asked for.

👍 We went out with friends for a late night dinner and drinks. Our tropical drinks were delicious and both couples ordered fajitas (beef, shrimp & chicken). They were delicious and plentiful but kind of skimpy on the condiments (salsa, sour cream, guac).

👍 Once again looking for somewhere to watch FIFA World Cup and found Sharley's. Lots of TVs, good service, and good food. We watched the first match of the day and wished we had stayed. We shared the chicken nachos and they were very good.
