In their own words

Good food-Less money!!!! We had shrimp scampi which my wife said was incredible . I had the seafood scampi based on Alfonso’s recommendation- it was great! He also suggested pumpkin soup which was wonderful. Atmosphere was very casual . Alfonso himself gave us a complete history of his cooking talent and experience on the island for almost 40 years. You may not get bragging rights for telling everyone you ate at the most expensive restaurants on the island but if you want “great food for less money “, this is your place! And I am now bragging to all my friends

This is the type of place you wish you had found earlier. Incredible food and staff. Chef Alfonso greets you at the door, visits your table, makes recommendations and is genuinely grateful that you are there. I’ve visited Anguilla 5x and this is a top 2 restaurant for me, I’ll be back every year moving forward. It’s an 8 minute drive from Meads Bay, don’t miss out. Seafood creole is a wow. This place is hands down better than Tasty’s.

We hebben de chrfkok ontmoet in de supermarkt . We kregen daar een leuk gesprek daarna zijn we bij hem gaan eten . Met een grote glimlach werden we door hem ontvangen . We hebben er heerlijk gelunched . Wat een vriendelijkheid . Het was er ook erg schoon. Misschien een schilderijtje aan de muur zou een tip kunnen zijn . Maar het eten was top en ook de gastvrijheid. Ga zo four !👍

This is a hidden gem. The food and service was fantastic. Alfonso is a one of a kind and we're glad we stopped by. We will be making it a regular stop each trip. As Alfonso says, Don't worry, be happy!
