My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and…read morewanted a waterfront restaurant, and this was the perfect choice with its beautiful views overlooking the marina. We made reservations before we arrived, although they really weren't necessary--but how were we to know? We were seated at a lovely table overlooking the marina, and once the sun went down, the twinkling lights reflecting on the water created a beautiful atmosphere. There was also a wonderful breeze, which was such a pleasant surprise for July. We expected it to be much hotter! I ordered the surf and turf with my choice of three different steaks and selected the ribeye with a half lobster tail. The ribeye was enormous, cooked perfectly, and seasoned so well that every bite was bursting with flavor. The lobster tail was tender and delicious. The portion was so generous that I ended up sharing my steak with my husband! The rice and peas were so good that he kept scooping them onto his plate--and he's definitely not a rice-and-peas kind of guy! He's usually a mashed potato guy...as you can tell from his own plate! It was hands down some of the best I've had in a very long time. The crispy tostones were the perfect compliment . He ordered the Grouper topped with lobster sauce, and really enjoyed it. His side choice was mashed potatoes and vegetables. I had a bite and concur the group. It was very moist and the sauce. It was just delicious. I had peaked at the menu prior to arriving and that's what I had every intention of ordering but then when I saw the surf and turf I was like, hey why not let's celebrate at $66 I didn't think it was much of an issue As a really nice surprise and great gesture, a molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and fresh whipped cream was delivered to us with happy anniversary wishes on the house. We've been visiting the island for over 25 years, often several times a year, and somehow this was our first visit to this restaurant. It definitely won't be our last. Highly recommended!

We got here before 6pm and got part of our order of 4 at 8:44 pm and it was not packed. It was a…read morelong time to even to take our order. No reservations required. The appetizers took an hour to come out and I have no idea what the cooks were doing. The food was cold and spoke to the chef and all he did was take off for the cheapest meal and which was cold also. If I could give a no star I would. Food was cold and tough. I spoke with the head chef Carlos not really wanting to appease to our experience. We didn't even get an apology for the long wait. This is my family's first and last time going there. Especially being on vacation. I highly doubt not recommend this place at all and it's highly disappointing due to the location of the place that set the ambiance off from what could've been a memorable moment.

We LOOOOOOVED the vibes at rainbow cafe!!! I will be sincere and upfront the prices are out of…read morecharts honestly. We've had this similar experience in Greece, France, Italy and even Colombia and the money behind all of them was not as expensive as RBC. I will say it is the ONLY place in all of the island where you will get drunk. These people KNOW how to party and their drinks are incredible!!! Not only are they yummy but they really do get the vibes going FAST! We started with a bottle of rose, servers greeted us immediately after we were sat down (even though we had a wait of like 20 minutes EVEN WITH A RESERVATION MADE AND CONFIRMED) and then by recommendation of our server we tried their RBC Tequila and omg hahahaha just one of those will have you dancing on their tables (literally, whatever they are doing please keep doing it, so worth it). We do feel like the prices are extremely jerked food and drink wise even with the reservation you must spend a minimum of $300. The water is so amazing, no coral, no trash, super clean and honestly after spending two weeks out here on a mission to find the best places I can honestly say out of all the beach clubs in the island rainbow cafe is #1 on almost everything but the price. Towels are complimentary gifts you get to take home which was a nice memory. We had their fruit platter which was AWESOME and delish fruit perfect for a drinking day at the beach and still being healthy and help your body stay hydrated. We also ordered their truffle pizzetta and as a truffle girlie I was in heaven, the smell, the flavor but above all the amount of truffle on that pizza? They really gave us a bagatelle like experience out in Saint Marteen and even though we felt jerked we still left happy? Would we visit rainbow cafe again? Probably because we already know what to expect but we have been trying other places that are also hyped on IG and so far the only one that has lived up to the reels has been RBC, come wallet ready but above all come ready to get schiwfty because these people know how to party and do not let the front fool you, you will have fun and you most certainly will have some of the best food in the island in this spot.

Their wifi didn't connect and the bathroom was across the way, outside of the building. I placed my food order but my drink order wasn't taken. I asked the chef owner for water and he said the server would get it, which was his wife but they were both too busy sitting at other people's table and chatting it up while I'm over her parched for water for 15 minutes! WTF! I can't even get some water in this hot muggy crappy place? I ordered a pie because I was starving bc I guess this Italian place doesn't give bread. I had to get up and order it and my water with the other chef that was standing around bc no one was helping me get anything. Ordered the most horrendous clam pasta I have ever had with extra bitter and old arugula on top. Nothing about this place was palatable. The service sucked. Didn't realize this clam pasta was not coming with linguine but instead penne with some thick tasteless cheese sauce. This was definitely easily that worst restaurant I've eaten on the island. I should have left as soon as I knew I wasn't going to get water right away

Their ribs were the best we tried on the island. The oxtail was the best we tried on the island. I fell in love with the curry goat roti. It tasted like it came straight from Trinidad. I wiped my plate clean and wished I had taken a picture. I ordered the drink special and swapped the tequila for rum. Diane, the bartender, made it sweet and smooth with coconut cream. It was so good I am naming it the Ashley. If you like coconut and sweet drinks, you will enjoy it. Our waitress Joe and Connor took great care of us. The service matched the food. The ribs were so tender the bone slid right out. My boyfriend and I split them as an appetizer and cleaned the bones. The cheesecake was also delicious. Every single thing we ate here was amazing. I would recommend this place. We are coming back. I want the curry shrimp next time and my boyfriend plans to get the curry goat again.

The steak that was prepared well done was impeccable and well worth the wait. The drinks were refreshing. I don't worry about them being boring. The bartender looked well versed in his craft. Our server was new, and definitely recommended great appetizers to pair with our entrees. Only thing I wish of the place is that they took the full amount of the tab. It had to be split into 5 different payments for our bill.
