Had chicken and was somewhat dry - husband had salmon was somewhat disappointed in his salmon. It was just 'ok'. The outdoor dining with fountains was lovely, however....

Nice outside seating, very tasty food. We had hurricane shrimp, a spinach salad and their burger (which surprisingly enough, came with seafood). It was all quite tasty. Staff was friendly and moderately attentive. Main complaint is the price, it was expensive for what you got.

We had dinner at Big Fish twice during our stay. Both dinners were excellent, staff was friendly and accommodating. Would go back again.

Nice relaxing meal, good evening. A bit pricey as restaurants are, service is island time but not too slow

We had dinner at Big Fish a few times during our trip, not only because they were recommended by a colleague but also because the staff was very friendly and the food and cocktails were outstanding! The spicy shrimp dish was excellent as were the cocktails.

The outdoor seating area is really nice here. The food and drinks were really good. The service was really fast and attentive until we got our food and then they sort of forget about you. This seems to be the norm on the island though.

Our dinner here was very good. Each item was prepared in what I'd considered a unique manner. The only problem was that it seemed to be "hit or miss" as to whether the person who ordered it thought it was good. The problem when something is made in a unique manner is that if you are expecting it to be... More

Food is still very good, decor is perfect however they have raised there prices this year and there service was extremely poor. So unfriendly and you can certainly tell nobody enjoys working with one another. What... More

Food was excellent but service could have been better. We were offered only 2 options for seating while many tables were empty. Service was not consistent. At times felt like we were forgotten. However, the meals my wife and I had were super. One of the best on the island
