The appetizer sampler was pretty good. Calamari was my favorite. The lamb chops were very small so if you are hungry do not order those. When the restaurant was busy is when we realized there was only 1 waitress for 13 tables. We were neglected for a while and I know she was doing best she could but customers pay good money for service and it was lacking. They did make good on the error and treated us to dessert.

I always enjoy coming to Dunns River. The music is good, the food is amazing and it’s the only sit down Caribbean experience that is top tier compared to the normal hole in the wall establishments with the plex glass separating the customers. Home run for date night. My only wish is that the music isn’t so loud all the time. It’s so hard to have a conversation. I stayed away from Friday & Saturday and picked a weekday date night thinking it would be a quieter background noise kind of night. Nope. We were still shouting at each other. After our meal we ending up walking around in the rain so we could hear each other lol. Something to consider for management maybe.
