The Lone Star
our comments
The Lone Star is a hotel and restaurant constructed in the 1940s. Originally a garage owned by Romy Reid, the workshop forms part of the reception area of the restaurant. Lone Star offers a great oceanfront setting and a breezy beach bar atmosphere. At night it features world food with a Caribbean twist, including dishes such as shrimp foccacia, tuna tartar and crisp blackened dolphin with sweet potato mash and papaya salsa created from fresh local produce.- March 2005

The restaurant is not in the same category as the fine dining restaurants in Barbados. It serves chain food at extremely high prices. The service was poor and surly. It does have a good location, and the restaurant has a good atmosphere, however, neither make up for the poor value for money.

Lone Star was probably my favourite dining experience on the island, out of The Cliff, Tides, Daphnes & Lone Star. While the food was best at The Cliff, and Tides was great for proximity to the beach & staff, I think Lone Star was the best experience & nicest atmosphere. Their mussels were amazing!

Food not bad but they really must work on the service !
Got there at 7.15pm for a 7.30 booking,asked to sit at the bar for a pre dinner drink and received a look that could kill!
Problem is they have 2 sittings(7.30 and 9.30) and anyone who hasn't finished their pudding by about 8.45 is hurried and harrassed as the next lot of diners are stalking at the adjacent bar making one feel highly pressurised.
They should really take a leaf out of Daphnes down the road..absolute perfection !
If you are considering a romantic evening forget the Lonestar as the hurried, dollar grabbing atmosphere totally kills it !

My boyfriend and myself are regulars to Barbados and in Sept we were invited to the this resturant by his boss. The weather on the day was terrible but even that could not spoil the views over the beach, it was amazing , and the food was excellent. I had the Jerk Chicken with mash potato, it was to die for and my partner had fish. The cocktails were also fabulas. We were shown round the rooms and they were just perfect. I would go back to this resturant again. We were seated right next to Tony Blair and his famly who were there on holiday

Whilst I agree the lone star is a very good restaurant no way in a million years is the Lone Star even in the same league as The Cliff or to mention Tides

Can't agree with the previous comment regarding the Cliff which I thought was the most amazing gastronomic experience and most dramatic setting i've had.
But Lone Star is my close 2nd favourite on the island. Fantastic fresh Seafood and beautifully presented fresh uncomplicated food.
Excellent choice of Wine and great for the kids to just go to the beach when they have finished eatining leaving Mom & Dad to enjoy a glass of wine (or two).... aaaah

Undoubtedly the best restaurant on the island - unlike The Cliff, which is highly pretentious, Lone Star makes everyone feel welcome. The food is exceptional (Thai Shrimp Curry comes highly recommended) and it's worth arriving early so you can sit and enjoy the ambience at the bar.
Now Carambola has closed this is my favourite restaurant.
