This out of the way restaurant has an intimate feel, tucked up in the hills with a spectacular view of Castries Bay. The service is personal and the food of first quality and presentation. This is not a place for an hour off the cruise ship. It is better suited for that long relaxed meal or a special occasion.

This goes back to 2010 , so I do not know how it is today. Used to be a lovely setting, the food was either excellent or not... hit and miss but worth the ambiance. The sunsets, spectacular!!

We had our son and daughter-in-law's wedding reception at the Great House Resaurant. It is a lovely old plantation house and was perfect for the reception. We requested local cuisine and its was very good. The flowers and the decorations were stunning. We found the staff helpful and courteous. We finished the evening with a dance on the balcony which...

We had the most awful experience: slow and bad service, then told us after we had eaten first course that the main dish was unavailable, ordered cocktails and they were given to table next to us. Then charged a huge amount for meal, only to find 6 weeks later that they had claimed for it in US dollars and not... More

They charged me the EC$ amount as US$. I have informed Amex who will refund the difference. Also they took ages to take the order and then after we had finished the starters they then told us they did not have the the main courses we had ordered. It wasn't as though the place was full. We were the only... More

I've used tripadvisor for many years but this is the first time i felt the need to comment in a negative way. We had a great meal here over 12 years ago and was very much looking forward to returning and hadn't checked the site for comments before we went. Decor was a little tired but ok, first issue was...

We had a lovely dinner at The Great House with attentive service all around. It's expensive, but we thought worth it. The steaks were delicious, the seafood Rasta pasta a hit, and the tuna was perfectly cooked. And of course the Conch Fritters were so good, we had to order a second batch! The wine by the glass options were... More

First went to the Great House in Feb 2010 when owned and run by Almond, it was superb. Booked again from UK for Valentines dinner on 14th February 2011 and it is under new ownership and was just awful. The new owners run an executive taxi service on the Island and have no idea how to run a restaurant. Beautiful... More
