Royal Grille Steakhouse - Basseterre

Very good service. The steaks were tender. We had two pages. Both were served very hot and portions were large, but they were too oily to enjoy.... up just tasting them.

Nice option when staying at the Marriott Resort. They have a fairly good range of steak options, plus a few non steak items for those inclined.

OVERALL: Fine restaurant. Given the price, the extremely long wait and quality of the food I will be looking elsewhere these upcoming days. Ambience and location Private and elegant. No real views (basement of Marriott). Clean. Polite staff. I waited 55 minutes for my grilled fish. Food Swordfish (tamarind sauce was novel and good, but fish could have been seared a little longer, I had to get a side, since the 30 dollar fish entree had none) Tomato market salad (10) was a disappointment (tomato was soggy, and very thinly cut). Price Very expensive, especially for what you are getting. I felt like there was an attempt at MIchelin style restaurant, (passion fruit caviar, coconut cream, etc), but quality and freshness fell way short of expectations especially for the price.

Pretty expensive $6 bottle of water), judgmental staff, in general targeted towards wealthy old white people who are looking to splurge. If you’re not getting a bottle of wine and a three course and are below 50, you’ll be judged. Food itself was okay

3 starts very generous here. Dinner at Fire was somewhat disappointing. Nice atmosphere and not busy. Server seemed a bit unhappy to be there, and disappeared several times despite the low occupancy. I chose to try the mango and rum drink (forgot the actual name) which was like drinking pureed fruit. A bit sweet for my taste. Again, once we had come to a decision, it took a bit to attract the server. Choices today were DW picked a starter salad with pears, sprouts, romaine and feta which was pronounced as “tasty”. The basket of rolls provided may have been microwaved. My meal of grilled wahoo, plantain puree, and nicely prepared bok choy plus a fruit pesto was a nice combo of flavors. But the fish was a good bit overcooked. The added side of mushrooms was a star though perfectly cooked and sautéed in a butter and wine sauce. Delicious. DW’s preferred choice of steak was priced at over $50! So she chose to create a meal of an add on portion of two jumbo prawns which the staff was very kind to sell as a standalone. These were fresh and perfectly prepared. Her side of roasted carrots came tepid and after a reheating seemed mushy and overcooked – very mediocre. We expected much more at a signature restaurant at a high end Marriot. We did not return and don’t recommend.
