We had another lively week in Antigua and eat again twice at Melini's although we were actually at the nearby all inclusive resort (we know as the penitentiary)!
Mark and Adrian did us proud yet again with remarkable, authentic Italian food and wine.
You have to go there.........go! You won't regret it!

Got to try the fried red snapper. Excellent, and I mean excellent service. These Antiguans know how to cook Fish with Rice and parboiled vegetables. You must book this reservation 24 hours in advance at the reception desk.

We asked several people on the island for dinner suggestions and we kept hearing "Go to OJ's" several times. We finally made a stop on one of our last nights and were not disappointed! We had no wait and received wonderful service. We tried multiple items, including spicy garlic shrimp, toasted bread, rum punch, fresh snapper, and coconut pie. Every item was delicious (the shrimp and pie were my favorites!). The restaurant has live music on the weekends, which is always a treat. We had such a relaxing dinner listening to the waves behind us and taking off our shoes to put our feet in the sand. OJ's was definitely a highlight of our vacation!
4. Sheer Rocks

Sheer Rocks philosophy is simple. fresh ingredients, local produce. casual dining with discrete yet super friendly service. quality wines, inventive cocktails. sultry lounge beats & crashing waves. day beds for lounging & a plunge pool for chilling. a unique tapas menu & a romantically cool & stylish retreat for dinner. a british chef with tons of passion & probably the best bartender in the caribbean. sheer rocks is an experience ... enjoy it responsibly...

Setting and views amazing, food was good ! Curried seafood tasted fantastic -Mahi Madhu was cooked to perfection warm quinoa Kale and feta was cold ! As was the service, service was intermittent attentive for some folk and not for others. Be warned they do not accept ECD via card payments it is linked to USD only with no other option, the exchange from ECD is fixed and does negatively affect the cost of the meal it spoilt what could have been a great meal ! Complaints are not dealt with well especially the management Ah well you live and learn! Better places on the island can be found for better food and better value
5. East Restaurant

Reviewed By TimWoods84 - Windlesham, United Kingdom
This was our first family dinner of the holiday and we were quite tired, but staff were great and really responsive. Food was ok, everyone seemed to enjoy what they ate but I felt my soup wasn't spicy enough and the portions were a little small but perhaps I just have a large appetite and was hungry from traveling. Price seemed to be a bit expensive I felt but its in a wonderful hotel and setting. Would go back.

Castaways Glows, an iconic Beach Bar and Restaurant nestled on the white creamy sands of Jolly Beach, Antigua and Barbuda. The azure Caribbean sea is just steps away, it beckons you.
Reviewed By Boscar - Essex
We ate here a few times during our recent stay, once for dinner and a couple of times for lunch. Lunch menu was particularly good and reasonable. We found the service to be better at lunchtime than dinner. Staff were very friendly and all drinks were good, particularly the old fashioned rum punch. There was always a good atmosphere here and we will definitely come back next visit. It does get busy when there are cruise ship passengers on the beach however there are always extra staff and we did not find the service suffered as a result of more guests.

Perched on a high ridge overlooking Jolly Harbour, this fine dining restaurent has a beautiful view and ambiance and grest food. The walk up is steep but manageable - although the hotel provides transportation. The walk back down shouldn't be attempted after more than 2 alcoholic drinks
8. Dennis Cocktail Bar & Restaurant

Reviewed By alexandrina55 - St. John's, Antigua
Was invited to celebrate the 70th birthday of a friend. Would have preferred to have visited during the daylight hours to experience the breathtaking view of the ocean and nearby Montserrat in the distance. However, just to hear the sounds of the waves crashing on the rocks was fascinating. Not much ambience, kind of rustic setting. The food was good. Never had such a huge fish in my entire life, and it was very tasty.
