User reviews

"Great seaside bar and restaurant right next to the famous Indian River in Portsmouth, Dominica. Lots of space and open air sea breezes with views as delicious as the food and service with a smile from Cherry and her staff. Cold beers and full bar and always great music. Near the mini-van (bus) station for cheap transport to Roseau and Calibishie. Free WiFi. Check this place ..."

"I can’t say enough good things about this place! And vegetarian friendly! Everything was served family style for 7 people, me and one other had the tofu which was flavorful, saucy and full of veggies! All the sides were amazing. The owner checked in often to make sure we were all taken care of. It was like eating in someone’s home with amazing beach views. Wonderful vibes! G..."
