The Experience

Let me tell you, Omroy and the staff at Marguerites (with the exception of the bus driver) are hands down 10/10!!!

They made my dad’s surprise 60th birthday celebration the best, and most amazing experience. From the time of arrival to the time that we left (like i said before, with the exception of the bus driver who will pick you up for transportation).

Omroy, from the beginning of planning with him, was extremely communicative, accommodating, polite and went above and beyond. I literally told him my dad loved Asake, and i would love it if could be praying when he walked in. They typically don’t do this as we didn’t buyout the entire restaurant but we had 19 people (it was initially meant to be 24; but last minute issues happened with some of our guests). But to my surprise; when we walked in to surprise my dad with his friends and family, Asake was playing.

Oh Omroy, you and your waitstaff need a raise because I was just so overjoyed and everyone enjoyed themselves.

I let Omroy know that this was a surprise for my dad and they accommodated picking up our surprise guests first so that when my dad walked in they were all there waiting for him.

The Food

I got the crab cake appetizer and the run down snapper; both were really good; the only caveat is that I’m from Maryland, the home of crab, so we prefer our crab cakes to be lump crab, these ones are more like shredded crab meat.

Baby, if you know you like Caesar salad, this is the best place to go to get one Worldwide. My cousin loves Caesar salad so we literally eat it in every country we go to, hands down, this is the best!!! It’s literally an experience as they make everything from scratch right in front of you; including the dressing

The Driver

He was polite until we dropped him off; my husband went to give him a tip (we stayed 10min away from the restaurant) and was counting out money (we got our money changed to $1s for tipping as this is the culture in Jamaica) and I guess he saw $1 bills and “assumed” he saw my husband count $2 and his response was very nasty “oh that’s only $2 you can keep that” and stormed off. Mind you, on a $2K bill we tipped $500. Even if it was $2, which it wasn’t, the response was crazy, tipping is a courtesy NOT a requirement; it’s like a homeless man saying i want KFC instead of Taco Bell when you try to help and give him food - BE MORE GRATEFUL AND HUMBLE!! This economy is rough on everyone and whatever extra people can give you should just be grateful.

Outside of that, 10/10 experience.

The experience here was amazing the Waiter was on point the while time no long wait time the food was prepared well and there was a live salad making thing going on right before we had the salad. The salad server asked what we wanted in the salad before making it as well. If you are ever coming to montego bay this is a must try restaurant. I would definetly be going back to treat myself one day.es

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.

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!

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.
