Back again and visited 3 times during my stay. Veronica was unavailable so I dealt with the lovely Kia who ordered me my lobsters and even manged to get me some Amber Jack Fish in which is a beautiful tasty fish. Definitely the best restaurant in oistins.
Back to 1 of my favourite restaurants on the island The quality here and freshest is sublime, also great value! Jaden who i mentioned in my previous review is currently overseas working but his mum Veronica is still here cooking up a storm! I visited here 3 timed during my stay and twice she specially ordered me in lobsters and they where massive and delicious, probably the best I've ever had! Cooked in a delightful garlic butter served with 2 side starches and salads. You can also get 4 bottles of beer here for $10BBD The lobster season doesn't open till September so best to pre order if you desire one. Also Friday nights at oistins are extremely busy so arrive early to avoid disappointment.
Beautiful food served by great people! This is probably my favourite place to dining at in oistins. Perfectly cooked grilled or fried this place has been doing it right for a long time now. Theres always a good selection on offer and if they haven't got what you want the knowledgeable staff will recommend something you'd probably like even more after trying it! This very thing happened to me when I went looking for king fish, my waiter Jaden recommended the Amber fish instead or barracuda. The Amber was grilled to perfection and delicious served with a choice of 2 starches I.e. grilled potatoes, rice and peas. And 3 salads it's truly a hearty meal and reasonably priced. In fact i liked it that much on my next visit I had the fish platter also with the Amber fish and Congolli topped with a shrimp, my partner had the mahi-mahi fish also known as the dolphin fish. Don't worry it's not Flipper but will appear on menu as dolphin. If you want a lobster it's best to order the day before as there normally not kept in stock. Theres specials on beers there ( 3 banks for BB$10) wine is BB$15 for a small bottle. Oh if you don't like crowds and waiting then avoid the weekly Friday party night across...
Read moreI first came here on a friday night with a fish fry tour. The tour included transportation, some information, a beer each, and a seat at the table at this restaurant. -Its a great menu, lots of food comes with any meal. You pick your protein, fish, chicken, or shrimp, then you get to pick 2 starches from a selection of 6-7 choices, then you get all 3 salads that they have on the same plate. I asked for all tossed salad instead of the 3, but its still a great menu. -The friday night we got there early, around 5pm. Around 8-9pm is when all the tables fill up and the streets get very crowded with people, so 5 is early. We had a table near the grill. It was nice to see them cooking, but as the night got busy it got very smokey, some of the peoples eyes were watering from the smoke. -The servers were great, the food the first night for our group took a while, but i came back 2 other nights to here and it was faster those times. -I tried 3 different fish all of them i got fried instead of grilled. First the flying fish, which was good but small and i think had skin on it. another time i had marlin, and the last time i had mahi mahi (they call it "dolphin" fish, not the mammal). Every time it was very good, and i am not a big fish person. and the sides and salads always fill me up. the tour guide said that this was the best fish fry place because she never heard that any of her customers ever got sick after eating here, and i ate here 3 times and was never...
Read moreIf you are white and from a cruise ship you will be treated well. If you’re black, the service and quality of food is extremely poor.
Three of us went and sat at a table with lovely white guest that we had just met. Their order for food and drink was taken, while we were ignored. After being seated, it was 25 minutes before a sulky faced member of staff came to take our order. The meal arrived 55 minutes later for me and one friend who ordered chicken. The fish dinner for my other friend did not arrived. By the time my meal arrived the white guests had eaten and already said goodbye after having a second drink. They were embarrassed for us.
The food was bland and the Mac pie was poorly made. This was a Friday night and as we left staff said I’m sorry this is a Friday night and we have been busy. Fish Friday at Oistins has taken place for centuries. That does not explain why we were not served in a timely...
