    Pleasant personal floor staff, the waiter knew when to interrupt to clear the table, etc. Food was tasty with adequate quantities. Large wine selection

    This is a unique concept that works. This restaurant is nestled in a furniture / home goods store and attached to a wine store. (Imagine dining and having access to an extensive list of wines/ alcoholic options!) I love the tables. All different and beautiful and I believe you can buy the furniture as well. The food is nice but my favorite are their desserts!

    This was such a good restaurant. The atmosphere was nice and unique. I liked the setting and ambiance. The wine area is separate from the food. The waiters were kind they could’ve been more attentive. The restrooms were very small and only had one stall. I did have an issue with my entree that they were unable to fix but overall had a generally good experience. Entree: Roasted Center Pork Loin with corn and Spinach

    Poor service. Had to ask for everything (drinks, water, refills). It took 40 mins for our food to come out. It miraculously was ready the moment we asked where it was. The place wasn’t busy so I have no idea why it was so slow. They also don’t have a mixed drink menu- it’s just basic stuff with only 1 choice of spirit (like 1 rum, etc). Their shrimp app came with 3 (!) small shrimp- it looked like frozen shrimp they heated up in the oven.

    Love this spot!! Great team work between three businesses who have come together to create an air-conditioned, classy, comfortable delicious yet reasonably priced venue with amazing (and cheeap) wine. Good value!

    Many of the people in my party sent back the calamari because it was too dark, really overdone, the shrimp as well. The portion sizes were also too small.

    I visited open kitchen yesterday for the first time and was very disappointed. We have dietary restrictions due to Celiac so we ordered a gluten-free Truffle lovers pizza. When it arrived it was cold and the gluten-free pizza 'crust' was two GF wraps stuck together - NOT made from GF pizza dough as expected. When we asked about this, the server said oh we didn't have GF dough so that's what they do instead. When we suggested she should have let us know beforehand, she said that would have made the order take longer. The Trident wine lady was also rather rude when we declined to order wine. Our bill was $75 for one pizza plus added service charge. I would definitely not return.

    I love Open Kitchen! The showroom (restaurant) is beautiful! I thought dining in a decor showroom is a pretty unique idea and the pieces on sale are very exquisite as well, they all add to the ambiance. There is a variety of food options on the menu - the flatbread pizzas are my fave along with the apple pie. Wine selection is pretty decent as well. Its a great chill spot unlike any other here in Barbados.

    12/10. We were an incredibly difficult table but chef Damon and Lukuana were so accommodating, friendly, and superior customer service. Fantastic evening!

  • 4/5 Marc E. 7 years ago on Google • 9 reviews
    Furniture. Music. Pizza. I like the intriguing atmosphere since it's located in a high-end furniture store. My fiancé (Jeena) and I ate on a table made out of a tree trunk which was pretty cool. Also there's a wine shop next door with a huge selection of wines you can get by the glass/bottle - but that's the only alcohol available at the restaurant. The pizza is thin crust with interesting toppings like shrimp, smoked salmon, blue cheese and poached pear. I had the El Español and Jeena had the Ryan's Special. If you don't usually eat much then the portion is fine but I believe most people (guys in particular) would want two pizzas since what's on the pizza itself is a bit sparse. However there are non-pizza dishes that may be more filling but it's about twice the price of a pizza. Friendly service, cool lounge music. Would come again but more as an intriguing social chill-out spot to show friends who've never been there before than for the food. 🙂👍

    The meals were very well received by our quite large dinner party, but the 5 star service by Shomo, our waiter for the night, would definitely encourage us to return. His service was beyond excellent.

  • 5/5 Juliette M. 3 years ago on Google
    My first time at Open Kitchen. It was nice.

  • 2/5 Chinyere W. 4 years ago on Google
    The food was palatable. However, the waiter could barely remember the specials, forgot to bring half of my order and couldn't figure out how to split the bill.

  • 4/5 Rommel B. 4 years ago on Google
    Fast and efficient service. Great ambience as well

  • 5/5 Marsha A. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious food ..love the ambience!

  • 4/5 Cutiekabe 2 years ago on Google
    The food is a bit overpriced but I enjoyed it, though I think it was more of a personal preference because I had 2 others try what I ordered and they didn't like it. The music playing was upbeat without being overly loud, and the silent black and white film playing was a nice touch. Also, the service was fast and really great.

  • 4/5 C O. 2 years ago on Google
    Good business lunch, large portions and fair service. Ceviche was by far the best dish.

  • 5/5 Andrea S. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was good service was great and our host Omario was the best!

  • 5/5 Richard W. 3 years ago on Google
    Best for lunch. Really nice cuisine - I would describe it as modern Caribbean. Excellent service staff who know the product. Well trained.

  • 4/5 Ray H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great for a business lunch with restaurant connected to a wine store (wine cave). Generally good service although or waitress at the time seemed new. We went again for group evening cocktails and the supervisor was amazing at finding a spot for us.

    French toast every day! Dairy allergy friendly also is a huge plus. Both in the meal 🧇 and beverage ☕ area.

    Food with a difference. Delicious and very nicely displayed.

  • 5/5 Gale W. 3 years ago on Google
    Great for meals in a relaxed welcoming setting. The steak salad and calamari were delicious, and professionally served by a team of courteous staff.

  • 4/5 Shelly A. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was spot on. I had the chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and salad I could not find a fault with the food. The carrot cake for dessert put the icing on the cake for me. It was moist, soft and delicious. What stop me from giving Open kitchen 5 stars was the service. The service can do with some improvement. I ordered a lemonade with my meal and had almost finished my meal just before the lemonade came all the while I had finished my water and I had to ask for it to be topped back up. The number of staffing on was plenty but they seem to lack structure/organization. Once the service improves and is maintained they are so worth dinning at and a 5 stars review.

    This is a restaurant and bistro, ensuite cellar style wine store and hine decor store all in one! I had the pleasure of visiting Open Kitchen on the occasion of my nieces 40th birthday celebration 🎉. So I've given it away, it's also an event locale. The canapes and finger foods were delicious and uncluded their Goats Cheese Jalapeno Balls. Really, a beautiful and fun setting to party the night away🥳

  • 4/5 Niki S. 3 years ago on Google
    This venue is certainly unique! The tables and lighting that you dine with are also for sale. Interesting concept as they have an adjoining furniture store. Everything I tasted was amazing and the prices were fair. A must visit.
