    My family and I are visiting St. Kitts for vacation and we ate at Rock Lobster. We enjoyed our food a lot. The outdoor seating is beautiful especially around sunset. This restaurant was one of the more crowded restaurants in the area that we went to but they still we able to seat us and serve us immediately. They do take reservations so I’d consider doing that if you’re going during a busier, peak time. We ordered calamari and coconut shrimp for appetizers. They tasted great and I’d recommend those but the portions were small for 5 adults. There were like 5-6 pieces per plate. My parents ordered the seafood grille assortment with lobster. The lobster tasted great. My sister ordered cranberry almond crusted mahi mahi, my brother ordered salmon and I ordered fish n chips. We did enjoy all our foods. We did wish our food had a little more flavor. But overall, we still enjoyed the meal.

    We did come back! Would definitely recommend making a reservation as we got lucky the first visit but our second time they were full. They offered seats at the bar which was great because that way we didn't miss out on ordering a seafood boil to share. The picture doesn't do it justice as there was an amazing amount of food; crab, clams, mussels, crawfish, shrimp, scallops and of course potatoes and corn. But the showstopper was the 1lb of Caribbean lobster! Absolutely delicious! Possibly the best dinner we had on St Kitts! Small walk from our resort to a wonderful night out. Indoor and outdoor seating with a very relaxing style. The entire staff was friendly, helpful with suggestions and attentive throughout the evening. Saving the best for last, we both had surf and turf. The medallions were done beautifully, the lobster was grilled to perfection and the potatoes and vegetables were also delicious. We told them we'd be back and we will!

    Located right next to the hotels, highly recommend and within walking distance if you prefer. The portions were plentiful! Variety of Caribbean featured cocktails and wine or champagne to choose from. Place was packed, I'd recommend making a reservation to be guaranteed a table. Indoor/ outdoor concept for dining with plenty of fresh air. I thought the mussels were delicious, the Cobb Salad was loaded with bacon and avocado and my Shrimp dinner was tasty and filling. Service was great with such a personable waiter taking care of our table. The Stuffed Mushroom was one giant one with Bleu Cheese and Fig I believe, tasty appetizer but when sharing just ask if there's one or multiple. Parking lot on site. No stairs and all on one floor. Wheelchair accessible if needed. Definitely check out Rock Lobster.

    Very nice restaurant with wonderful staff that really looks after the customer. Slow meal with time between courses. Tried the Surf & Turf and it was delicious. Steak grilled just right and lobster tail was grilled with clarified butter. They give you large portion of food.

    ROCK Lobster came highly recommended. As my first meal of my first visit to St. Kitts, i was not disappointed. I got the lobster Thermador and a crab cake. Both were well seasoned and well prepared. I will be back.

    Get the lobster. Out of this world delicious! I didn't care for the crusted parmeson grouper but that's on me. I should have gone with my first choice of lobster. The lobster salad and coconut shrimp were wonderful and the bread pudding was yummy. I hope we can have dinner again before we leave.

    Saturday special of ribs plus half lobster, and one daily special of a whole lobster (plus sides for each; the Saturday special came also with a conch and corner chowder appetizer, plus several small sides and a fruit punch +/- rum) were more than satisfying for our party of two. We really wanted to make it to dessert but had no space left, so I guess we will just have to come back!

    We went on a busy day for a birthday celebration. The special that night was really good, choose 2 meats and sides for 100++ ECD. I had the steak and ribs. Food was really good, I will return to try something else. The service was a bit slow but it's because of the volume of ppl there that night. I would recommend going here.

    I walked over after a long day for a nice dinner after passing several places I was set on eating here. It was a busy night but the service was great which is not always the case. The bean soup was delicious and I'm sooo glad I got it. The lobster was okay too. It was a nice meal but a little pricey compared to some other lobster spots I tried. The quality service and friendly staff definitely will have me stop back in.

    We went for an impromptu dinner date at Rock Lobster and had a really great time. Our servers were very nice and the food was very tasty. There is indoor or outdoor seating and a lively atmosphere. Rock Lobster is definitely worth a visit. We had 2 apps and 2 entrees with sparkling water and one non alcoholic drink. It added up to about $141 USD. We had the mussels and pesto mushrooms for apps. Shrimp and lamb chops with assorted sides for entrees. They have a pretty diverse menu so something is bound to entice you. All the food was excellent

    Fantastic experience. Best seafood pasta I've ever had, and my partner (gluten free and vegetarian) had an awesome quinoa bowl. It was also a great price. Highly recommend.

    My husband and I didn’t have reservations but they were able to seat us. The table was in the corner by the kitchen, not the best table in the house but it wasn’t awful. The service was excellent and the food was too! We shared the blueberry, kale, spinach salad and stuffed mushroom. We each got a lobster special which was more than enough food for 2 people to share. We left full and content. All of the food was delicious and prepared nicely. We skipped dessert because we were so full. We’ll definitely be back!

    Food was exceptional. It came fast and the lobster was very high quality. My family and I were the last in the restaurant for the night, and the staff were still friendly and we did not feel they were attempting to kick us out. The only downside to the restaurant is it was a bit expensive, however when you’re ordering lobster that’s typical. I would recommend.

    Had high expectations of this place. The champagne lobster soup was fab but the seafood trio left a lot to be desired and ended up a little tasteless as everything was fried. Service was not great. Asked for a beer and it took around 40 minutes for it to be served ( I kept on having to ask). Maybe it was due to travelling solo and my table wasn’t worth as much to them as the groups eating but I wouldn’t go back. There are better places along that road with a better atmosphere and service in my opinion like the coconut grove.

    We may have been unlucky on our first visit: we arrived without having made reservations on a Tuesday night and we were seated inside at a corner table that was a bit too warm. We sat for a while until a nice server asked if we'd been helped yet and took our drink and dinner order but for some reason it took a really long time to get drinks. Fortunately, another server stopped by and eventually sorted us out and by the time the food arrived, those who ordered lobster felt it was almost worth the wait. The lobster dinner is huge and easily split between two people, as was the Lobster Thermador special. They are huge!

    The service here is amazing. The wait staff worked as a team to make sure our visit was delightful. Never rushed but always attended to. The food was excellent too - we had the escargot (huge) and the full lobster (delicious) followed by the bread pudding (scrumptious). This place is great - highly recommend dinner here while in or around Frigate Bay.

    This restaurant has a very wide menu selection. It is in walking distance to the Mariott Hotel and is locally owned and operated. The owner puts her personal touch on all dishes from the kitchen. I highly recommend.

    I could eat here all holiday. Spectacular lobster special with garlic butter cooked to perfection. Attentive service from start to finish. A lovely singer added to the ambience and kept us going despite a severe case of jet lag. Very easy to walk to from the Marriott.

    My wife and I really enjoyed our meal and experience after a long flight into St Kitts. This was a relaxing way to spend our first night on the island. I would recommend the house cocktail, it came out with a sparkler and was really good. Overall the service was great and everyone was very helpful and nice, food was also great.

    Food was good, but not great. Made a reservation thru FB Messenger, they said they didn’t have it, even though it was in writing. They found a table after a wait (even though there were several empty tables). Once the food was dropped off by a runner, we asked for an extra plate, which we had to ask for twice more before it was brought.

  • 5/5 Ragenie S. 5 months ago on Google • 27 reviews
    Food was so good we wanted to go again! And it’s plentiful! Delicious!! This was our best meal on the island! Lobster champagne soup, seafood chowder, lobster, paella, and the Grouper (fish of the day) were excellent! I would say there’s no AC. They have fans but it’s not too helpful. Regardless of that we’d definitely go back! Servers were good but busy!

    We got the Fisherman's Pot, and it was disappointing. The seafood was completely overcooked and extremely salty. The vegetable sides were good. The bill was expensive for the quality of food we got. Service was standard, and the ambiance was okay.

    This is our first visit to this restaurant. The food was good, but accommodations were not pleasant. We came with a very small and very well behaved service dog and they gave us a hard time,, after talking to a manager, they were willing to seat us in the bar area. But there were no fans on the ceiling at that area and it was very hot. The barstools are always very high and the table is very small. It was not convenient. We asked for additional chair for our puppy and they refused to do it. Nowhere at any restaurant we were treated like that with a service dog. To be able to enter Saint Kitts, we went through a lot of trouble making sure that the dog had all the paperwork and test to enter. Needless to say, I will not recommend this place for other people to come because of their accommodations. We went to a lot of Islands and nowhere were ever treated this way and we always travel with service dog who is only 7lb. And the most pleasant, well groomed and behaved.

    The food was amazing. Conch and corn chowder,very flavorful and incredibly tender conch. Cashew crusted Mahi was cooked perfectly. The daily special was 1/2 lobster and choice of meat, so much food, but so very good you feel bad not stuffing yourself. Tricia our waitress was the cherry on top of a wonderful culinary experience. Would most highly recommend.

  • 3/5 brian m. 1 year ago on Google
    3.5 stars. we visited here for dinner after it was realized that the Lebanese spot shown on the local map was no longer open. It was just a bit further walk from our resort to try Rock Lobster, which had been recommended before we arrived on the island. Nice décor, well maintained property, and the service was very nice. Due to upcoming reservations our seating was at a high patio bar table. No problem for us, just be aware if you arrive without a res. A more upscale menu here than most places we visited off the Marriott property. And prices to match. Leaning heavy towards seafood, which makes perfect sense. Many dishes utilizing local lobster. Steaks, paella, ribs, lamb chops, etc. rounded out the menu. It being our last night I chose to start with a delicious mango daquiri. Well made. Our entrée choices tonight were the Bangers and Mash and the Shrimp Alfredo Linguine. Plus a starter salad with the house made (more) mango dressing. During the wait for our meals, we were visited by an extremely cute black kitty with stunning golden eyes. Clearly waiting to clean up for anyone who might drop edibles. The salad was a nice fresh mix of local lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. The island definitely grows some excellent fruits and vegetables. Bangers & Mash entrée was pretty bland, which probably makes it authentic British. It was a huge portion. Small mountain of mashed potatoes, four good sized links with an onion gravy and dribbled with a few small green beans. A sprinkle of black pepper helped some but it was really lacking any flavor. The Shrimp Fettuccine was much more flavorful. Nicely seasoned alfredo sauce and shrimp that were fresh and tender. Another huge portion. The pasta started to absorb the sauce pretty quickly making it somewhat gummy so the shrimp became the focus. Still very enjoyable. They definitely know what they are doing here and I think on a future visit choosing different entrees we would be even happier with our meals. If you are in the area I’d definitely check them out.

    The best service in the island. Staff was very attentive, food was good, price vs quality is fair! Definitely will be back! This is the best place regarding service in the whole island (I’m staying at the Marriott and the service there is not good at all). Just a little surprised/disappointed they didn’t have lobster bisque, but everything else was really good!

  • 5/5 Stephanie B. 1 year ago on Google
    5-star experience tonight at the Rock Lobster. Service was wonderful, we were greeted with smiles. Really nice atmosphere and ambient lightning. The seafood was incredibly fresh and rack of ribs tender and delicious. Portions sizes were large!! You won’t regret the Paella, highly recommend. Overall we loved our meal!
