They messed up my reservation time which was booked specifically so we could enjoy sunset. I emailed 3 days in advanced and tried to call many times but didn’t get a response. It was later explained that they didn’t open until 6 so I was...never going to be picked up and get there by 6. If this had been explained prior, I would have made my own way there or looked elsewhere. Was very happy as I expected better. The food was okay but very pricey.More

Everything about this restaurant was amazing!! The views, the staff, the food, the ambience, all top tier!! The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that there could have better lighting for outdoor dining. Not a huge deal, but when the sun sets...its very hard to see the menu and your food. It's a bit pricey, but worth every penny!! Highly recommend if you're looking to celebrate a birthday or have a date night off of the resort!More

My wife had made the reservation for my birthday and let them know it was for that occasion. The hostess was pleasant when we went in, and they were willing to keep our bags as we had gotten ready after leaving the beach. She walked...us to our seats, where the view was amazing and the atmosphere definitely has that "WOW" factor. The waiter was pleasant, and was willing to have the bartender make a specially requested drink at my request. Things started heading downhill once we got to our entrees, where we had the filet mignon and lobster combination. The steaks were done great, but the lobster was quite rubbery, where it seemed as though they were kept in the freezer or done in a microwave. As it was my birthday I chose to ignore it, but it was the same for my wife, so we requested that the her lobster be replaced. The replacement had the same issue. I was intent on not having anything spoil my birthday, but after the lobster issue the waiter seemed a bit despondent, where he became less attentive, but we still ordered dessert and a couple more drinks. Now as mentioned before this was meant a birthday reservation, where they had been aware, and when we first entered the hostess was not at her station and my wife confirmed that she saw our reservation and it being listed as a birthday. At no point during the course of our time there was there any acknowledgement of that.More

This spot is tucked away beside Margaritaville on the hip strip. We came to celebrate my birthday and it did not disappoint. This beautiful oceanside restaurant has a breathtaking view, friendly, professional service and tasty food. I ordered the druken lobster and my husband had...the steak, both dishes were top notch. I highly recommend ❤️More

Excellent staff reviewed the menu options. We had lobster and grouper both perfect. Crab cake starter was also spot-on. Menu offered good choice of non-seafood items. Great wine list as well.

Everything they advertised about this restaurant is a lie! The service and food is atrocious and it is OVERPRICED. My sister, myself and a few of her friends went here on January 15th, 2023 for her birthday. The moment we got there we were treated...poorly. GEORGE, who was our waiter, spoke to us in a belittling manner and kept rushing us without properly communicating. He purposely ignored us when we ask questions and tried to place our order…as if we were nonexistent. A glass fell and broke, due to how we were closely PACK around the table; there was no room to move around. Instead of tending to it quickly for safety purposes, GEORGE stood there looking at us. I had to say something about it (he clearly saw it by the way) before he went and got the mop!!! Swear, I’m not making this us! One of our party asked for a straw multiple times and when he finally decided to bring it to him he threw it on the freaking table!!! After all that horrible treatment I decided they weren’t going to get any gratuity but they AUTOMATICALLY add it to your bill. Listen, I’ve had bad service before but NEVER like this and I was in my own country dealing with my own people. Sad AF but lesson learned.More

The location of the restaurant is nice. The staff do not smile or greet you. The service is poor, the food ok, not bad, but not worth the price. Dinner for four was almost $500 USD, and we left hungry. The staff showed no interest...in making the experience great. No smiles, no eye contact, and the wait between courses was long enough to watch a full movie. I could not get drunk enough to forget about the misgivings because the cocktail waitress never came by to see if we were interested in a second round. We stayed at the Half Moon resort and this was highly recommended by the concierge, and i will let them know if they like their guests, to please stop recommending this place.More

The food was delicious and the view of the carribean beneath you one of the best on the island. We celebrated my birthday and the staff made it extra special. The food is 5 stars and the staff 6 stars. Reservations are recommended unless you...are eating in a later hour. They are open until 9:00 p.m. but they never rush you out the door. This is one of my new favorite restaurants. If you are weary from eating jerk chicken during every excursion, treat yourself to some prime beef and an array of seafood options. Try the crab cakes and filet mignon. You won't be disappointed!!!More

We were looking forward to a sophisticated and elegant 5 star dining experience and left very disappointed. We were seated outside immediately next to the restaurant next door. Unfortunately their music was louder than the music in this restaurant and combined with the party boat...it did not make for an elegant evening. The food was very nice although the steak not as requested (medium/well) as the waiter told me that it was best to eat it medium. Not what I had asked for. We’d had such a long wait for food anyway so I didn’t want to send it back. I ate the outside and my husband ate the medium rare centre. At no point we were asked if the meals were satisfactory or whether we’d like more drinks. I wasn’t even asked if I wanted a dessert! No upselling here at all. The staff were ok apart from a surly waiter who couldn’t even work out our bill or what we’d had. Disappointing tbh.More

On the first full day of our trip to Jamaica our party of six was driven an hour through rush hour traffic to Marguerite’s, a highly recommended restaurant. We arrived just in time to see the remnants of a spectacular sunset. Our table was beautifully...set up under a magnificent towering almond tree decorated with elegant elongated lanterns. We had a wonderful view of the water. The staff was courteous and friendly from the moment we entered, as they took our orders, and delivered cocktails. They politely assisted two of our party to recover from two separate incidents of bird droppings one on a napkin, the other on a salad fork. They efficiently moved us at our request to an indoor table. The seafood meals, served with perfect portions, were beautifully presented and photo perfect true to the menu descriptions. We all agreed that the food was excellent. The wait staff remained composed and agreeable when we asked to divide the bill and put specific amounts on two separate American Express cards. This was the point where things became contentious. We were told that the AMEX “ machine was down.” We explained those were our only methods for payment. We agreed to wait until the AMEX card reader was ready. The manager got involved. We offered to provide our card information and sign our payment slips. At this point the manger explained that they once accepted AMEX but the reader had been “down” since December 2021. He repeatedly told us that he had made numerous unsuccessful attempts to resolve the situation. We repeatedly replied that we had no other methods of payment. The only suggestion he offered was that would take our cards across the street to another business ( the casino) & we could pay him through them. WHAT? My expectation was that a major payment restriction such as this should have been disclosed when the reservation was made or when we entered the restaurant since the problem existed for 9 months. We couldn’t have been the first to experience this. I cannot recommend an establishment no matter how beautiful the view, how good the service, nor how great the food that takes its customers for granted. However if you insist on dining at their website proclaimed “5 star experience” then leave your well established, widely respected, traveler protective AMEX card at home. Marguerite’s won’t take it and they won’t tell you in advance.More
