We visited Bistro del Mare twice during our recent visit to Saba. Between the jaw dropping vistas, the inspired menu, the oh so delicious meals (just writing this has me salivating like Pavlov’s dog) and the extensive wine/spirit selection it’s a dining experience you will long remember. The food is further enhanced by the warm, friendly service. Make sure to... More

We had a wonderful Private Dining experience while at the resort. While I am sure it would have been more cost efficient for the resort if there were other diners, we really enjoyed our private experience. Being off season, does have a few benefits. I only hope that it doesn't stay too quiet for too long to support this establishment!... More

Every Monday is their special Thai night. My husband and I gorged ourselves on multiple "small plates" including shrimp satay, ahi tuna (ordered a second plate because it was so tasty!), spring rolls, Tom Ka Gai soup and a huge bowl of edamame. Their Shearwater Cocktail was perfect with it.

It is never a pleasure to read such a review. Our goal is to meet or exceed customers’ expectations and it is clear we did not with you. I have responded to some of the statements you made in an effort to clarify the issues. Your original reservation was made upon your arrival on island and due to the size... More

High up on the hill, up a steep drive hides a really great hotel restaurant that you might miss if you don't ask. Inside the Shearwater Resort, with one of the best views in the Caribbean, you'll dine on absolutely delicious meals like you'd find in the top restaurants in the best cities in the world. Considering where you are... More

A necessary element of dinner at Bistro del Ma is the "before" event, magnificent sunsets, a cocktail bar that sets the standard for selection/variety, and the camaraderie of locals, other guests, and the staff. Be sure to ask Taras, Marleni, or the owner Paul to guide you thru the martine selection.. Sitting down to dinner you'd think you were in... More

Bistro del Mar is one of the great restaurants on Saba, with the added benefit of being located on one of the most beautiful spots on the island. Perched 1800 feet directly above the Caribbean next to a grand pool, this in an absolutely amazing experience that you should not miss. And the food is excellent.

Very nice menu. Full bar. A wine list that goes way beyond what you would expect on a small rock in the middle of nowhere. The chef is very talented, and also a nice guy. Apparently, most of the fish is frozen, which seems odd for an island surrounded by fish, but I suppose it has to do the unpredictability... More

Thank you so much for taking time to write your kind review. We are often asked the question regarding where our fish and seafood comes from and of course the perception is being surrounded by water why would in not come from the our waters.
