Reviews
We had such an amazing experience at Nauti HQ in Barbados and would recommend it to absolutely everyone. We arrived around 11am and were looked after by Rudy and Dwayne, who were both exceptional — along with all of the staff. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming and genuinely couldn’t do enough for you throughout the day. We spent the day sunbathing and paddle boarding, which was complimentary and such a lovely touch. The beds are also redeemable against food and drinks, making the whole experience feel even better value. And the food… absolutely sensational. Honestly some of the best food we’ve had on the island. Everything from the atmosphere to the service was perfect and we would come back here over and over again. A must-visit in Barbados!
Great spot right on the beach you can go down. They will bring your food down to you lounge on the beach or sit on the patio. Look out. Get out of the Sun for a little while. Had the special with the shrimp tacos. They were very good. Also had the lobster roll. Mine was actually a little bit overcooked but still very tasty
Amazing food and service. The waiter was really helpful with good recommendations, we had the Mahi Mahi which was lovely and blackened well. The hot sauce over there banged so nicely, really great. Fries were good, view is spectacular as well. I would go back again for sure. There is also parking for convenience. Price is reasonable compared to the other restaurants in the area.
We visited this restaurant on a Sunday night without a reservation. We were turned away but before we left , we made a reservation for the following night. The host took down our information and wrote it on a paper towel. When we showed up on Monday night, they did not find our reservation; however, they sat us at a lovely table in just a few minutes. We had several different servers throughout our dinner experience. We started with cocktails while looking over the menu. I had a margarita the boyfriend had a pina colada. I was a little disappointed that the salt on the Margarita rim was regular table, salt and not the large cocktail salt. Interesting, the boyfriend's pina colada had a peppered rim with black pepper. A waiter said it was to enhance the flavor; however, the boyfriend did not agree. The waitress then presented the chef's specials to us: the catch of the day was mahi mahi , which is what most of us ordered. The southern boyfriend, who spent some time growing up in oklahoma, ordered burger. As you can see from the photos , the state burger was a stacked high. The boyfriend's states that it was very good, very fresh, juicy cooked correctly, flavorful. My cousin got the grilled mahi mahi chef's special. I worry about getting fish blackened because it's a hit-or-miss. This was definitely a hit! The best meal on the island of the entire week! I had the grilled mahi , and it was very good, but the cousins blacked Mahi took first place. The rice and vegetables that were served with it were also spot on. The atmosphere was lovely and enhanced the overall meal experience. Definitely would return here! Salt on the margarita glass. No reservation.
What a wonderful discovery! I used to live on island and have been visiting for 40 years. So it was a refreshing treat to come upon Nauti, my new fave west coast beach resto/bar. We 'rented' beach loungers (new and comfortable), ordered drinks, then had a wonderful lunch up in the restaurant, which has a stunning view. The cost of our beach loungers were put against our food/drink bill = great value, particularly for the west coast. Both the food and the service were real standouts. The staff were friendly and attentive, which can be a rare experience in BIM restaurants. Don't waste your time and money at the Sea Shed (where you pay a fortune to be treated like something the dog brought in) - come here to this wonderful beach resto/bar for excellent views, service, food and value!
