I really hate to leave a bad review. We were really looking forward to having dinner at Harris‘s after reading all the reviews about how fantastic lobster was. Unfortunately, my lobster arrived. I thought it was going to be grilled. It looked like it was boiled.. It was rubbery, had no flavor. I couldn’t eat it. My husband‘s grouper was fine. They were nice enough to not charge us for the lobster, but I was so disappointed in the quality of the food, I also didn’t like the salad or the rum punch. The soup was good. there are much better places to get lobster on JVD.!!

Cynthia’s cooking is worth the trip if you had to swim from the Florida. A must visit venues where she cooks everything fresh. From the soup to the lobster everything is spot on and her bigger than life personality makes it even better. Add to your list for dinner in the BVIs

This was a memorable experience. Cynthia greeted us warmly, and proceeded to show us the available lobsters in her tank. they were huge! Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs--think about it a minute before choosing the biggest ones. they are toooo big! Everything about the meal was fun and delicious--but best of all, was the way Cynthia made us all feel like family being treated by the best hostess in the family.

Cynthia is the consummate hostess. We were treated like family from the minute we arrived on the dock. Lobster was delicious-not over cooked. Our evening ended with wonderful conversation. We will be back!
