Our favorite dining experience during our Antigua vacation! Sheer Rocks is on a gorgeous resort property, highly recommend getting a drink at the lower level bar during sunset before dinner. Food, drinks, views, service are all stellar. One note - carefully driving up as it’s a very bumpy road getting to the resort!

Food was outstanding! Had the escargot and Camerones with trifongo. Dessert was cocodo hot coconut with almonds and ice cream. Everything was first class. Sat at the bar and watching the very professional bartenders mix drinks added to the evening’s enjoyment. Right in the Placido de Santurce so can enjoy a stroll through the lively area after dinner.

Crab cakes and salad were very good! My husband also enjoyed the seafood pasta as well! I can’t remember the martini with amaretto I ordered but it was fresh, tasty and not overly strong…. And it was HUGE! Great place for quality dinner when in Antigua!
