    Food and service was outstanding! Customer service was phenomenal- they even opened the doors early as we arrived before our reservation time and it looked like it was going to rain. Tableside Caesar salad was excellent! Filet and sea scallops melt in your mouth! And the strawberry lemon drop was sweet and sexy at the same time lol Everything was just delicious and we would definitely be back again!

    Our recent weekend trip to Jamaica was elevated by an exceptional dining experience at Marguerite's Seafood by the Sea. From the moment we began planning our visit, the restaurant demonstrated a commitment to outstanding service. While Open Table's reservation system limits parties to six, we seamlessly coordinated a reservation for our group of 16 by utilizing multiple email addresses and a quick call to the restaurant. The manager's proactive offer of complimentary transportation to and from our hotel was a truly delightful and convenient touch, setting the stage for a stress-free evening. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a perfectly arranged table, ready to accommodate our large party. The restaurant's dedication to excellent service was further highlighted by the presence of three attentive wait staff assigned specifically to our table. Their attentiveness was remarkable; they consistently topped off our water glasses, efficiently took our orders, and promptly delivered our drinks, appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Their coordinated efforts ensured a smooth and enjoyable flow to our meal. A particularly thoughtful gesture was the decorated dessert plate presented to our honorary couple, a sweet and memorable touch that truly made them feel celebrated. Beyond the impeccable service, the ambiance of Marguerite's Seafood by the Sea was simply beautiful, enhancing the overall dining experience. The food quality was, without exaggeration, superb. Each dish was a testament to fresh ingredients and expert preparation, delivering a truly satisfying culinary journey. My only minor recommendation for improvement, particularly on a warm Jamaican evening, would be the addition of fans or enhanced ventilation. While the setting was beautiful, the heat was noticeable. However, this small point did not detract from what was an overwhelmingly positive experience. Marguerite's Seafood by the Sea is a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable experience!

    The ambience was nice, but the food was not great. No favor or seasonings, which was disappointing for the price and location.

    Came here for my birthday and it was amazing! My party of 3 got seated right in front of the water and it was so serene and peaceful. The service was amazing and the food was just as spectacular!! When I come back to Jamaica I’m visiting again!

    For starters the table side salad was soggy, wet, and flavorless. The food took two hours to be brought to the table. Our waiter hardly communicated with us during the wait.

    The service was outstanding! The food was ok. They didn't have the salad available. Which was one of the reasons I wanted to go. So that was disappointing. I ordered a blueberry lemon drop. It was good but watered down. The people were very friendly and attentive.

    It was birthday 4/25 so I went to have a nice dinner preferably lobster only to be told no lobster at all. I’m from America so I had to pay for a driver there so I decided to stay and eat I had the 16$ ceasar salad that was not good and small portions for the price I then ordered the drunken shrimp and was disappointed not flavored well or put together green beans mixed in with mash potatoes and other vegetables not worth it. The most disappointing experience ever and to top it off the sever asked me do I want tap water or Fiji water since it’s “fine dining “ one would think any water is included in my experience it wasn’t they bring the bill 10.75$$$ when I could have drank ocean water for free do better is all I can say and I won’t be back
