“A great find in The Gap”

Reviewed 8 January 2010

We ate in the Harlequin Restaurant on the last night of our holiday and having read previous reviews, we were not disappointed.
Even though we hadn't booked and it was clearly very busy, we were told that a table would be ready within minutes so had a drink in the bar. Everyone was extremely friendly with a varied menu from which to choose. We both had Flying Fish (never get fed up with this meal) and were too full to contemplate anything else.
The evening was an extremely pleasant experience and judging by the banter with the (presumably) owner, it appeared that several guests were repeat customers which is always a good sign. On other nights when we'd walked past, the restaurant was always busy.
One very tiny flaw which I'm sure wouldn't stop us eating here again. We did ask for just 1 glass of wine and even though the waitress had said " It was on it's way", the wine didn't actually materialise until half way through the meal.
A great place to eat, go!

We went to Harlequin at St Lawrence Gap twice during our two week stay in Barbados.
This was the only retaurant that we went back to. It has a very good vairied menu.
The staff are very friendlythe service excellent and the food could not be faulted.
This was also good value for money for Barbados. Look forward to going back again.

“Exellent Evening Out”

Reviewed 18 December 2009

HARLEQUIN (St-Lawrence Gap): Next door to the Rostrevor Hotel, right in the middle of the Gap. Fantastic fish dishes. We shared the smoked marlin salad then we had seared tuna and blackened flying fish, both to die for. Great service, good ambiance with the little white Christmas lights everywhere on the outdoor patio. Can’t comment on dessert we were too full!

“Decent meal, nothing to write home about.”

Reviewed 6 December 2009

On our first full day in the Gap my wife and I decided to give Harlequin a try. We did a quick walk during the day and the restaurant looked pretty good. We walked up to the restaurant without a reservation and they were able to fit us in. They were a little hesitant, but figured they could fit us in before an 8:30 PM reservation. We thought this was a little odd, because half of the tables were empty, but we just went with it.

We were seated under the stars which was great until we had a few raindrops. They did wheel out an awning, but our table didn't quite make it under it and we had to shift it a little. We ordered an appetizer of seafood samosas. We didn't really realize that appetizers here are for one and only got two very small samosas. My wife had coconut shrimp and I had the kingfish creole. Both dishes were pretty good, but nothing special.

One thing of note is that there were two cats in the restaurant that were begging for food. Somewhat annoying, but my wife liked them. The pricing in the restaurant I'm sure is what you are used to, but over the whole trip we actually found this restaurant to be somewhere from the middle to the high end. Especially since some of the more expensive restaurants are participating in the gourmet card.

All in all we left full and satisfied, but didn't feel that the restaurant was anything special.
