    Great food. Beautiful scenery. Tucked away and not overcrowded. Clean, welcoming beach and courteous staff. Reservations can be made. Be open minded about the temperature. It’s mostly outside dining but there is an indoor space that can accommodate your company retreat, party etc. Tables are a bit low and can be uncomfortable but not unbearable and once you start to eat, you definitely forget about the table.

    Nice place to chill by the sea, have a drink and enjoy the breeze. Special thanks to Chef Gary and the staff for your hospitality!

    Hmmm where do I start 🤔..... I don't no who owns this restaurant lovely location, staff are polite just not attentive, I came here be4 with a group of us the food was nice, went again with my partner n realise on the bill didnt add up, plus the food taste as gone down hill but nevertheless i went back this last time got a small order this time the sticky chicken wings was bland tasteless and the fritters was small I mean 2 bites or the whole thing can fit in your mouth/ finger food hmmm nop not money worth plus the price you see on the menu is not the price u pay to me that is very deceiving on a deliberately standard level!! Which is a shame really coz its a nice location but I will never go their again nor make my friends and family will never go back there coz commonsense all they have to do is include the tax so u see the real price n don't make it look deceiving holiday makers are not going to no about GCT....its tax if u didn't no....hnmmmmm if u do go hear just ask how much is your order 1st. Be4 they start preparing your food. Now I see why this place as lost its customer and Sharkies and milestone have taken over.........

    Terrible service and food. Waited 2 hours for food to come. They told us we had to wait for them to get a 'large group' out ahead of our group...which was 5 people. Those people were arguing with them as they left!No one took our drink order, even after the bartender said he would come 'soon'. 'Regular Chef' was on day off on June 20 and the food was just distasteful. The manager took our complaints by repeating everything we said. Then he asked to give him a minute, and we saw him 'escape' from a back door. Food was cold and needed reheating. Soup was too salty for eating. Manager would not come back. We told one waitress that we were leaving, and left the food on the table. She said 'okay.'

    The soup was cold, the oxtail was cold & hard in texture. Was not enjoyable at all. Could not be eaten. The presentation & the ambiance was the only thing that was going for them.

    Excellent fried fish! I took wedges with my order but my friends had rice and peas, coconut rice with colaloo and mash potato. The response was all was quite tasty. Tucked right below the smokehouse on the same side in St. Ann's. Food was fresh but was a long wait for it to appear. The staff is friendly. Music was very nice and access to walk on the beach was available. Strongly recommend for couples and groups.

    Dining by the beach, good food served in a unique style. Serene and off the track environs. Great for a lunch date. Dine by the bar or the sitting area looking out at the sea. There's beach chairs if you plan to sun bathe or go for a swim. Parking available. Check them out.

    Seaside Dutchie is that place you want to escape to after a hard long day at work or if you just want a cool spot to hang with good company. You can choose either indoor or outdoor seating and there is also a well stocked bar. The food is very good. Sadly they didn't have what I ordered on the menu so I had to choose something else - hate when that happens at a restaurant. Overall a gem that deserves a second visit. Hopefully then they will have everything on the menu

    We when to dinner just after 8pm coming from Ocho Rios and was told they are not taking any more orders which was strange. We was very disappointed since they didn't close until 11:00pm. That not how you run business. Do not recommend .

  • 5/5 Colin C. 4 years ago on Google
    A little tricky to find even though there is a sign. But it is well worth the visit. Service is good very engaging staff the food is excellent. Had the curried goat with mashed green plantains with callaloo coconut rice. Warning the Guinness stout bread pudding with scotch bonnet vanilla ice cream will make u scream it is really scotch bonnet pepper fi real. A wonderful dining experience clean fresh sea air and view.

  • 4/5 Tee K. 2 years ago on Google
    Pros:. Food was good, the dutchie fish and the wings were top notch Location isn't bad Con: 1 waitress caused a delay in service, chef had multiple roles but he was very quick. The tables are not practical, we had to sit side ways because our feet could not go under the table. Place was hot, but it was outdoor, was a hot day.

  • 5/5 Mitzie M. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best steam fish I've ever had, and the seaside views create the perfect ambiance

  • 5/5 alvin d. 5 months ago on Google
    It's my second time there, and they have never failed in service and presentation, customer service, not to mention the food was awesome....big up to both chefs and out waiters....😊

  • 4/5 Neville O. 10 months ago on Google
    Food fairly good. Service up, went there twice and due to the low traffic the staff, very attentive and polite. Being on the seaside with the water so close and the sound of the crashing waves, mood was good.

  • 5/5 Trishauna B. 2 years ago on Google
    This seaside restaurant is great on scenery and food. The customer service was excellent as well as the vibes. The food was delicious plus the drinks offers. I enjoyed everything. The wait time was not long and it wasn't because a lot of persons weren't present but because of efficiency. I'll definitely return!!!!!

  • 5/5 Dorian S. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Elder Courtney L. 2 years ago on Google
    My experience at Seaside Dutchie was out of this world. The service was great and the food was exquisite. Can't wait to go back to Jamaica to do it all over again

  • 5/5 Eldris Bev S. 6 months ago on Google
    My son, his friend, and I visited the awesome Seaside Dutchie in Priory, St Ann. We received a warm welcome. The interaction with the workers was exceptional. The meals were well prepared and tasty, and they checked on us frequently. To my surprise, at the end of the meals, I was presented with a slice of Black Forest cake with whipped cream topping and cherry to celebrate my birthday which was on September 26th. You will need to know that all food items were served in mini Dutch pots and fish platter, which was so unique. The cost for the meals were within reasonable range. Go and treat yourself to a sumptuous and exquisite meal while listening to good music. Awesome, and fantastic experience.

    Experience was great the server was very polite she checked on us to make sure we were comfortable i had the pork taco it was spicy and delicious the view was amazing!

  • 3/5 M B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great setting by the beach. You are able to take a swim after ordering your meal. Food is pricey and portions were not impressive. Our waitress was very pleasant, polite and friendly.

  • 5/5 Crystal P. 7 months ago on Google
    Really nice location you can eat looking out at the beach...very unique way to serve the food in pots. Also got a lot for the money.

  • 4/5 Heather H. 2 years ago on Google
    My very 1st visit. Love the mixture of old with some touch of modern decor. Feels like I was in a place of pure comfort and that ocean breeze was heaven sent. Loved the idea of serving in Dutch pot. This place can be laid back to elegant dining and everything in between

  • 4/5 Kay M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vibes. Music was great. Beach side alittle rocky, wear your beach shoes. Waited awhile for the food to be prepared so don't go too hungry. Rest room, changing room and shower areas were very clean. Purchase your food and drink there and your beach experience will be free.

  • 4/5 Andrew W. 3 years ago on Google
    The eating area was clean. The service was courteous. The menu and the presentation was interesting. There is some greenery for taking pictures, as seen in others posts. It was a good time. There is also a circular bar, so if you need somewhere peaceful to have a drink you can go there (please don't drink, drive and then murder anybody with your vehicle).

  • 4/5 MM C. 1 year ago on Google
    First view beautiful, second food amazing, taste , presentation all that excellent service was good , check them out

  • 5/5 GROWing In L. 1 year ago on Google
    We went on a night that wasn't very busy so we had the main sitting area to ourselves and our waitress was very attentive. The food was great portions and very tasty.

  • 1/5 Cashema S. 4 years ago on Google
    Worst experience ever, poor service. I was really looking forward to dining here but my my my. Our server's attitude was just downright insulting. Ordered the soup and she just put the Dutchie bowl in front of me and poured out the soup from a thermos, like who does that and on top of that it was cold. Staff need some serious customer service training. Got my shrimp pasta and again it was cold and shrimp wasn't deveined .

  • 5/5 Sarah T. 4 years ago on Google
    Romantic and family friendly. This is a great place to enjoy the sea, clean beach and shallow waters. The food is also worth the trip, I love the curry goat wrap. Be sure to say hi to Chef Gary.

  • 5/5 Lateisha L. 5 years ago on Google
    The server was great!! I liked the presentation the food especially what the meals are served in.... it didnt take long for meals to be served, the place wasnt very packed tho.... we were seated on the beach which made our experience even more enjoyable. I had a Chicken pasta OFF THE CHAIN We ordered Oxtail as well OFF THE CHAIN We also did a crawfish soap and Rasta* vegetarian soup. .. they were ok

  • 3/5 Cee J. 5 years ago on Google
    Not the best tasting food but the atmosphere is wonderful.

  • 4/5 Jessy J. 4 years ago on Google
    If you're looking for a zen chill spot in the area. Seaside Dutchie is a great place. Night or day this restaurant has a relaxing environment with an opened Seaview ( walk with a sweater at nights it can get really chilly). Love the concept behind their eating cutlery. The food is great;could be better in terms of warmth. Customer services in really great waitresses/waiters know how to build Rapport. The bar bartender could use some work. Would be nice if there was a drink menu and drink services not being limited to sodas and beers but actual mixed cocktails and such.

  • 3/5 Jason K. 4 years ago on Google
    The food was cold and the Service needs just a little extra push. However it is a great spot and beautiful scenery. I recommend freshly cooked meals, on-site Chef and better meat pieces (Fish was good though).

  • 5/5 Gina G. 4 years ago on Google
    Staff was friendly, food was great. I love it there.

  • 1/5 Annakay P. 3 years ago on Google

    Presentation 🔥 Quality 🔥 Portions size 🔥 Service 🔥

  • 2/5 Nichole S. 3 years ago on Google
    Service was good but the food wasn't worth the price. I ordered the curry goat and had to send it because it was mostly bones and gravy then I was told it was finished thats why I got that. Serving size was small, also ordered the chicken Alfredo and it was nothing like it shouldve been. It wasn't creamy it was more it was more like pastas and curds.

  • 5/5 Damion C. 3 years ago on Google
    Very wonderful experience. Love the setting. The prices were very reasonable. And staff was accommodating. Not to mention equally important the food tasted great!

  • 1/5 Dejaunie M. 3 years ago on Google
    Terrible customer service!! They seated us with menus and had us sit for 30+ mins before they told us the kitchen is closed. They didn't even seem sincere with their apologies 🙄🙄.
