Was lucky enough to not have to forward book this restaurant as it was the quiet season. When you enter it is via a down staircase. When you get to the bottom well wow, the setting is breathtaking. Food delicious and reasonably priced. Scallops fantastic as was their king prwn curry.All excellent as was the wine and we were pleasantly... More

This place has hung in for many year- due to unique look, seaside perch, and pretty darn good food. We never made it past 8pm, but the place seemed to have promise of better times later in the night (big bar, lounges, room for music). Service was fine (WI standards), curry is #1 in Barbados IMHO. Come a little early... More

Nice atmosphere, good service and food was nice. But sides were cold and by the time they came back we were nearly done so had to cancel. But the food (barracuda and the chicken),was very good. They did get the bill wrong also but no big deal, little pricey and they could do with doing more reds by the glass.... More

We have just come back from 2 weeks holiday in Barbados... we stayed in a villa at polo ridge on the west coast so had unlimited restaurants to chose from... we were recommended to go to The Loanstar as it is a little quirky, apparently used to be an old petrol station or garage... staff are dressed in garage overalls...

We went on April 4th having heard very good reports. I would agree with other reviews that this place was disappointing. The food was ok but nothing to write home about (we had baked cod) and we had 2 glasses of Rosé which tasted as if it had been watered down. The best aspect of the meal was the coffee!... More

I have been going to the Lonestar for as long as I can remember and I was highly disappointed with our evening. We were shown to a table next to the waiter station so the floorboards would move our table every time a waiter walked past. the food was not as good as in the past. the service was terrible....

This was my 4th return visit to Lonestar, and sad to say that on this occasion I have to agree with other reviewers who experienced problems with a poor standard of service. We were given a lovely beachfront table, but the restaurant manager and most of the waitresses were grumpy faced and taciturn, to the point of rudeness at times.... More

Having four children (ish) ranging from 12 to 20 it can be tricky finding a restaurant that ticks all the boxes...this is it! Everyone enjoyed the evening - from the food to the atmosphere.

I had high expectations of this place from the recommendations I received but found it average to say the least. The menu was European-Caribbean fusion which was interesting but I didn't find very tasty. We had the tuna tataki to start which was poor. Mains were ok and the drinks were well made. The bill was reasonable but I've paid... More
