Our first visit to Marco Polo at their new location, but most definitely not the last. Marc and Sally serve up delicious, well priced food in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The cocktail list and drinks menu are the best we have seen in Barbados in terms of choice and value. The decor and ambience in the restaurant and bar are absolutely beautiful. We loved it!

We had a fabulous time at Marco Polo. Beautiful setting and love the sea breeze coming through into the dining room. The food was excellent, the staff friendly and helpful and good value for the money spent. We all only had the main course, having eaten earlier in the day and not leaving much room for more! As the restaurant gets busier up it can only add to the overall ambience we felt last night.

We had a lovely dinner at Marco Polo the other night. Just a short walk from
The Crane. Really enjoyed my “cocktail”, I had the catch of the day of blackened barracuda which was delicious! First time having barracuda have thought about it since. My husband had the garlic shrimp
Dish and he said it had really good flavours! Overall a wonderful dining experience.

Restaurant were unaware of booking due to no internet.
Waitresses were fantastic .but owner lacked any interest and came away from evening with mix feelings. Place seems to be fall out from the crane and owner probably does not feel like she has to make effort.
Food ok but will not return
