Restaurante Ascension — Restaurant in Antigua

A average good restaurant with some interesting food choices. Worthy of a visit and to eat here. However I have marked down a star for some slight weirdness. Firstly, I called up to make a booking, asking for 8pm. The lady said they were fully booked for the week, and we were leaving on Thursday. Shame, but we wanted to try, I asked if there was any other day, but she said they were fully booked for the week. So a day or two later we tried again, this time another lady said we could come before 8pm and book us in for 7pm. So we did, and I don't understand why the first lady didn't offer us a table. I know restaurant bookings come and go, but it just felt like she didn't want to bother booking us in for any other table sitting. I took it that they are really exclusive to turn people away and their food must be really good.... Sadly not really, ok not great. Some of the dishes are really hit and miss. My wife's starter the chicken liver pate was great, and really enjoyed it. But her main, the baked cod was over baked, and the sauce was very bland. I don't know what it is about Caleta de Fuste, Fuerteventura but some restaurants over cook fish until rubber. This was not a good dish at all. My starter the Duck Ravioli was again a little bland, and the sauce felt watered down. I couldn't taste anything. But my main course the Morrcan Lamb Fillets was juicy and delicious, and really paired well with the Cous Cous. So we came out loving half our meal and the other half really brought it down. It was ok and perhaps this was our fault as based on previous reviews on the place we were expecting something more. And yet I can't say we had a bad experience, just a little disappointing. The staff was friendly and very chatty. Not sure, but English Expat living over here. So the language barrier not an issue and she...

Great place that try's very hard to serve fine dining , and nearly succeeds, but and there is a but , the side portions that accompany the main dish are very very small , and are really not enough for on average two people. The main courses are Devine and there is something for all tastes , but as stated if let down with the side dishes that need to be with the main course. There are many places around this area that are trying to attract customers with fine dining ,and the prices eco this , but i feel they are forgetting that this is a holiday destination and if we are to pay top prices then we expect a little bit extra, and my my disappointment with this nice place that i will try again, is that we booked a table at 7.30 and it took over an hour to get our starters , although in saying that , they did apologise and took the wine off the bill. All in all we enjoyed the food and hope that feedback will improve the side portions .nothing wrong with some...

Really welcoming soon as you walk in, the prawns are literally to die for we love the IRN BRU and salt and pepper prawns, been 3 times in last 4 days and will be going tonight as its our last meal so that should say something!

All the main courses we have had have been nice, braised rabbit, sea bream, the chicken with an amazing apricot sauce, the lamb which I have quite literally fell in love with. Hands down beats any other red meat I have ever had. I went to bed dreaming about it. The cheesecake is really nice one of the best we also had the Mississippi mud pie which was nice and the brandy case.

120% would recommend this place the chef came out every time and asked us about our food, the servers would stop and talk too us too.

Best restaurant by far...
