Fantastic place, exceptionally friendly and funny waiter and, of course, really delicious food - couldn't ask for more! I ordered the Ox cheek and it was one of the best I ever had. Thank you for this experience.
We stayed in Lagavulin Bay just a few minutes down the road from this sweet spot. There were no other diners in the restaurant while we dined but frequent take-aways. Our server was so sweet and fun to chat with, which made the experience that much nicer. Good scotch selection and the seafood was super fresh. Cranachan was the ultimate little treat to finish out the plentiful meal as well!
Not only is the food AMAZING but the staff is also fantastic. We loved Elvis and Omar so much! They made the experience so fun. This was our first time in Roatan and this place has made us want to return next year! The Ceviche, Grouper, and Octupus are to die for! The chef is amazing.
Excellent service. I got a bit nervous when 7 parties were seated at the same time. Was this dinner gonna be some nightmare episode of The Bear?? Nah, the server definitely knew what he was doing and had his system in place. Front and back of house were in sync. Food came out in a timely manner. Very friendly server who used to live in Malaysia. Oysters were solid. Scallops really stood out to me for taste and how they used all parts of the scallop. I got the mussels. Portions justified the price! Dessert, Cranachan, was heavenly.
What a great little diner? It's the classic diner feel except with the best smiling service and kindness from our waitress. She was so accommodating it made us feel like home. My wife and I were concerned we were linited in time to eat breakfast and not be late for our tour of Lagavulin. But the waitress reassured us everything will be just fine. Our Islay Scotland trip could not have been any better and this little diner was a part of our amazing experience. The weather all week in March, was sunny, no rain, which we were told at this time of year was special. The breakfast dishes we had were so fresh and yummy. Coffee and breakfast sandwich roll. Eggs and bacon. All hit the spot.
The food was excellent and The Manager took care of us. If you want both quality food and service, this is the place to go!
Awesome food. Super tasty. Super nice staff. Very kind. Pizzas are awesome. Take away is an very good option aswell
