    Lovely location enjoying the Barbados breeze while listening to a singer entertain the crowds. People even got up to dance. However our food took over an hour to arrive with no explanation. Had trouble getting anyone's attention for more drinks while we waited. The food was good when it finally arrived.

    Friendly venue, attentive staff, simple but well chosen menu, happy hour till 8pm & then live music. Partners steak was delicious & cooked as requested, my Bajan fried fish was amazing. Sabrina was super friendly & helpful, the whole enterprise was working like a well oiled machine.

    I walked past this place for about 2 weeks and even met the owner asking my wife ans myself to come in but we didn't until we finally said OK. Nice food atmosphere nice music you can't miss this place .

    We were 1st to be seated and they took our order right away offering happy hour, soup of the day, and catch of the day. It was good, a small bone in the Marlin. Then we waited and waited to order dessert and had to ask. Then we almost left as the waitress passed us numerous times without checking on us. No water, no check. The table next to us was also frustrated.

    Great place 'pon de Gap. Early opener (1630-ish) and 2 or 3 for 1 drnks Happy Hour until 2000 daily. Cheerful service, good range of cocktails and unfussy atmosphere. Recommended.

    We were there twice thinking bad service can happen. first time I got my meal 50 minutes after the rest of my table. The next night it took 1 1/2 hours to get our meal while people that came in after us were getting their meals. Very deceiving as the old fellow inviting people to go in is very friendly! Once you are in it's a totally different story!!!

    Just had drinks. No sign of rum in the rum sours, just a putrid syrup. They seem like they want to tap the tourists who will never be back. If it’s the only place open, it’s worth taking a taxi anywhere else but…

    The waitress was very attentive and lovely and the atmosphere is good. However unfortunately the food is poor. The macaroni starter tasted as though it came reheated from a tin. The pasta Alfredo main had a reheated texture and no flavour, and the curry was flavourless with chewy rubbery chicken. Sadly could not recommend.

    We were delighted to find this establishment The Crave Restaurant .We dined there nearly every night as the food was so good and tasty 😋 The restaurant is well laid out and is pleasing to the eye with foliage and pretty lights making eating here very enjoyable .We dined here 3 nights out of the 4 when we were in 🇧🇧. Most nights they had different entertainment which was very enjoyable to listen to while enjoying our meals.Sabrina looked after us and she was very attentive and friendly a lovely girl and great ambassador for restaurant. You will get a good choice of food hot and tasty and reasonably priced .5 stars 🌟 🤩

    The food was good. Plating could have been better…a bit of garnish. Chicken stir fry and braised lamb chop. Server, Chad was attentive and efficient. Drawback a few people were smoking at the bar but we were outside on the patio. If paying by credit card you have to go to the bar to pay. Should have a way to bring the machine to the table.

    Had dinner at this restaurant on St. Lawrence Gap. The atmosphere is very lively and friendly, and the servers are the same, but service is pretty slow. We ordered coconut shrimp, and the curry chicken, and curry shrimp. We also got two for one banks since it was still happy hour. The appetizer was small but tasty, and the curries were tasty as well. Overall, a decent experience.

    On 02/27, my partner and I were searching for a place to go and relax as his birthday weekend had come to an end. We were walking through St Lawrence Gap and happened upon Crave and saw that there were 2 and 3 for 1 drink specials. After enquiring with one of the servers, she confirmed the restaurant being open as well as the drink specials. After entering the establishment, we decided to order some drinks and get some finger foods (as seen in the photos). We thoroughly enjoyed them but what made the evening more special was the service from our server Jamario (apologies if the name is misspelt). Definitely recommended, would go back again.

    Had one of their burgers with some fries and some salad. The burger was good, fries were ok and I didn't eat the salad. The portion of chips was small in my opinion. The drinks (I had the rum sours 3 for 21) were also ok. The service was relatively good though. Very chill experience.

    The food was excellent. We were in a group of 7 and every one of us loved our meals. Would definitely recommend it and I'll be going back.

    Stopped for a quick drink. We had the rum punch which was tasty and strong. Live entertainment was a lovely touch.

  • 1/5 Devon R. 2 years ago on Google
    Worse of all service around, terrible food and ripped us off on a tip we split, said we didn't split when we did and no care, or ask if any of the food was good, it was terrible. one round of drinks and never came back plus never checked if our food was any good and came 1 hour 20 min after order. since the tip is built into the price they have zero care. They should be ashamed. Will never return and hope other people see this.

    The food is not good here. The only thing good they have is the live entertainment. I guess the running joke about restaurants in Barbados is that they are mostly run by white women with that same "Karen-esque" short haircut. Ive noticed that at everyone restaurant i've been to there. Champers, Picasso's, Shakers....etc.

    Live music that's very loud - good for party lovers but not so great if you don't appreciate music blasting above normal tolerance levels. Food is okay but expensive - snapper is good, steak chewy, and mashed potato sour. Waiter asked for tip even though the bill includes 10% service charge.

  • 5/5 Andariegos 2 years ago on Google
    The gentleman out front that “lured” us in was so fun and energetic. How could we possibly say no to him. Lol. The live music was very nice. The food and service were very good. The four of us agreed that they had the best rum punch of all the places we’d been to.

  • 5/5 John W. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a friendly place to go for food in the evening. Reasonable menu, though more variety in the starters would be helpful. Good prices reflected the quality of the food. Tasty and well cooked but not the absolute pinnacle of quality. Great ambience with a selection reggae providing the background music. Probably a 4.5 rather than 5 star.

    Update, post reply: Thank you for your reply, but this sounds like a denial of what we witnessed. Unfortunately, two of your staff are not following the government guidelines on how to properly wear their masks. There are government videos online. This means you are not following protocols properly. It may be difficult to enforce resistant customers, but we saw it being ignored. You do have full control over your staff. Hopefully now that it’s been pointed out, you will address this, so as to help control the spread. I’ll check back. UPDATE 2: Nope. Still not following mask protocol. See photo. ORIGINAL: I’d give this two more stars, as the food is very very good, as was the music. The issue is that the place makes us very nervous. The doorman/greeter wears his mask so that his nose is mostly uncovered. He stands very close while trying to entice you in, then he wanders around inside like this. One waitress wore her mask the same way. Also, some customers arrive with their noses completely uncovered, and the staff say nothing. No enforcement when people get up from their tables maskless to go to the washroom. It’s bad that I have to write a negative review over such a thing for such a good restaurant, especially when Barbados’ numbers are sort of high. This is partly why. It would be so simple to first set the example, then enforce the rules.
