The Plantation House has been furnished with the finest pieces and this is matched only by the service which was attentive whilst remaining relaxed. We started the evening with Cocktails in the Lounge before being shown to our table on the terrace. The meal was one of the best I have sampled in Barbados and the use of local produce and ingredients really made for an interesting blend.  I cannot recommend this restaurant enough, if you are longing for something other than a waters edge setting i.e. Carambola, The Cliff,  La Mer, then please give this restaurant a whirl.  Also visit Villa Nova for Sunday Lunch.  As well as enjoying the meal were able to enjoy the views over Barbados.
