The Mews Restaurant & Bar

My wife and I had our first date here a few years ago and it was amazing, the food was excellent and we had a really good night. We came back last year for the anniversary of our first date because it is a lovely looking place with a good atmosphere but the food wasn't great. This year we thought we'd give it one more go for the sentimental value on the anniversary of our first date. Very disappointed. My wife booked online and then confirmed the booking over the phone a couple days later. When we arrived they had no record of our booking but they managed to squeeze us in on a table very close to where the waiting staff loitered between serving people. My Octopus starter was pretty good if a little bit overcooked, and my wife enjoyed her starter, hence the 2 stars for the food, but both of our mains were barely edible. My wife had the snapper which had a soapy taste to it. I don't like wasting food but even I couldn't finish the fillet. I had the beef tenderloin which i requested rare. it was far from rare and it had the texture that it was defrosted too quickly. The service was good until the waitress overheard us saying we weren't too pleased with the food, then it seemed they couldn't get us out fast enough. I don't mind paying if it's worth it, but the food is not good enough for the prices they are charging, especially as a bottle of still water is nearly $15. Over $500 for a mediocre meal. Put quite a downer on the whole evening for us

We had a lovely evening here. We had a couple of drinks in the bar and listened to some really cool music. The ambience of the bar area is lovely. We then went upstairs to our table, which was equally as nice and ordered a salad to share for a starter and for the first time ever, the kitchen shared the salad on 2 plates which was a really nice touch. We then had the catch of the day and belly pork, bith lovely. The risotto that came with the pork was outstanding. For dessert we had the chocolate pot which was also delicious. The service was excellent and when we left, it was a lovely touch for them to say goodbye and my name. We loved it so much we have booked again for Saturday.

Put this on your list of top places for dinner! Food was excellent - try the Sicilian fish soup; and for mains the lamb ragu. Wine list has some gems including a well priced Barolo. Servers were friendly and service was great. Highly recommend. J

Really great dinner, some of the best food I’ve ever had. Appetizer soup was great, the jerk pork main for my wife and I had the chicken caper meal which is some of the best food I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Finished off with chocolate mousse for dessert. Decor is nice, service was great. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Barbados.
