No one is saying this place is cheap but this place really is worth it. The food is absolutely outstanding, the service brilliant and the view out across the ocean is amazing. Sitting at our table we could see stingray and sharks swimming in the sea below. The staff are extremely polite and welcoming and the service really is one... More

It's very clear before you even arrive at The Cliff what the final check will look like, and at around twice the price of any other restaurant on the island the key question is can it possibly be worth it? The short answer is no. The food is excellent, although at those prices you might reasonably expect more luxurious ingredients... More

Where shall i start, Amazing, Absolutely Amazing. The food, service and ambience of the restaurant was superb, very romantic till it started raining. The food is very expensive however it is well worth the money. The views from the cliff were great, could see the sting rays feeding under the restaurants lights.

Nothing could have prepared us for this truly magical experience! On arrival our car doors opened to a great welcome and we were ushered to the bar to enjoy a sumptuous pre dinner cocktail overlooking the very blue and glistening Caribbean. We were ushered to our seats to enjoy a magical three course meal and delicious wine looking at the... More

Everyone who visits Barbados knows of this iconic restaurant and so on our visit this year we decided to try for ourselves. We booked in advance in order to ensure a rail table which we had, actually it is really quiet at present on the island so this was not a problem. We arrived about 40 minutes before our booked...

This was a special visit for my partners birthday and we had the most fantastic meal. The service was excellent - nothing was too much trouble and they even bought out a birthday plate for him! The food was amazing, we are both keen cooks and so it was a special treat to eat such amazing dishes. Needless to say... More

My husband took me to The Cliff for my birthday - well, what can I say?!!! This place is amazing. We had pre-dinner drinks overlooking the ocean ( and the rays!) and it was wonderful. the whole atmosphere is magical. The meal and service were both outstanding. My husband dropped an item of cutlery and they literally picked it up... More

Food and location at its best. The Cliff is one of the places you always hear about when in Barbados. Everyone talks about it. It took some trips before my partner and I finally went in and it was a very succesful night. The food is great, but the location is just suberb. I mean, you can get good food... More

We went for dinner here for my 30th birthday after being recommended by a number of different friends who had also eaten here. We knew it was going to be expensive and so were prepared for the prices. We had also booked ahead by a few days (in low season). The setting is breathtaking, the service incredible and the food...
