The Cliff

Food	Service	Atmosphere	Value

Situated on top of a 3-meter tall coral cliff over looking the Caribbean Sea, this open-air restaurant has the food to match the beautiful scenery. Although The Cliff uses nothing, but the freshest, choicest ingredients and attracts such big names as Prince Andrew, the atmosphere is surprisingly casual. Make sure you look down during dinner because you might catch a glimpse of the sea life swimming by in the illuminated waters below.

We have been to the Cliff four times now. We have had nothing but the best food, service and ambience ever!
The Cliff still takes my breath away everytime we have the luxury of having diiner there.
It is a magical experience and is worth every penny. The food is beautiful every time, the atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous and the staff are very atteentive.

The cliff has a fantastic location but apart from the bar staff our service was poor, the food was very ordinary and we had a chipped glass, which the manager noted. For such an unspectacular meal the cost was very high

I was married at the Cliff on the beach below in August 1999 and had our wedding meal with all the family. The best place in the world to dine and get married.
Fantastic venue, enjoy your trip.

I went to the Cliff with a friend of mine to celebrate her birthday on August 7,2009.We were seated immediately. Within 5 minutes of order placement, drinks were at the table. Our first order arrived about 10 minutes after the drinks. The selections were delicious and tastefully presented on the plates.Our main course arrived about 10 minutes after we finished our first course, Again, well presented and very delicious; as was dessert.
I found the atmosphere very chic, the view breath taking and the experience wonderful. I'm telling all my friends this restaurant is a MUST when visiting Barbados.

Excellent meal and service, with breathtaking view.
Only spoilt by the back of Wayne Rooneys head.

This was the best food we've had in a very long time. And the location on the water with the flambous flames..how can you ask for more.

We have dined at the Cliff several times over the last five years and it never fails to delight us.
The food is of the highest standard and the staff help make it such a enjoyable experience. You must try the veal chop!
We took my youngest son and his new wife together with my eldest son and his wife last august and they still talk about it.
A holiday in Barbados without a meal at the Cliff would be unthinkable.
Without doubt one of the finest resaurants in the world.
Looking forward to returning in August.

NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE RESERVATION STAFF.
GREAT LOCATION
SERVICE IS POOR COMPARED TO SOUTHSEA.
FOOD IS AVERAGE COMPARED TO SOUTHSEA.

Stunning, totally stunning.
Went there a few days ago and nothing else on the island was up to scratch for the rest of our time there after such a wonderful experience.

Just back from a short-notice decision to go and try "The Cliff", since the local whisper is that this, and the Restaurant at Southsea are the places to visit for the ultimate food experience...
We were not disappointed, the ambience was relaxing and elegant, with a memorable view down over the dining area and bay as you walk through from the entrance bar/lounge area, out on to the balcony seating area, where the setaing is comfortable and relaxing.
We both ordered a Bloody Mary pre-dinner cocktail - a habit in every restaurant we visit, and always a touchstone to the care in preparation that the staff put into your visit....it worked well, subtle yet strong pepperiness and rich and fresh tasting tomato juice - a good start.
To accompany the starters we each had a glass of the Perrier Jouet Grand Brut, which is the House Champagne, and they obviously know their stuff, a beautiful glass.
I chose the Tuna Tartare starter and was very pleased with the balance of flavours, and the palette of textures, from the miniature poppadom through to the velvety tuna.
My partner chose the Portobello Mushroom Salad with aged parmesan - again, a well-balanced flavour palette and satisfying choice.
The staff were without exception attentive and polite and completely professional - efficient without being obtrusive, and all very pleasant.
I had chosen the Cliff for this evening as I wanted an unforgettable experience, and with the main course, there it was on the specials menu....Kobe A-5 Steak.
Cooked medium rare, and unlike anything I have ever tasted before. Presented with a rich gravy -for the life of me I can't remember what kind-but that was not the point - this steak was more tender than the new potatoes it came with, and the wonderful creamy flavour is still with me 3 hours after leaving the restaurant. This really was one of my most memorable dishes ever.
My partner had the angus beef, which again was a fine example of its type, and beautifully cooked, with just a hint of saltiness to spice the flavour. We accompanied this with a glass of the wonderfully structured french red by the glass - yes, I should have taken a note of what it was, but all I can say is that its depth and intensity were a perfect foil to the gorgeous meats we were enjoying.
For dessert, after a decent interval, we both had the chocolate pudding with Mount gay sauce, which rounded of the meal in memorable fashion.
A great evening, at a venue which entirely lived up to its press and gave us a memorable night out.
Thoroughly recommended.
