"At Jackie Rey's, the chef and staff prepare and serve excellent. I had the Kai pasta with a coconut alfredo sauce. It was so unique and fantastic. Rich and flavorful. There's a beautiful view of the ocean and sky at sunset. Friendly and professional service. Zero complaints! Highly recommend."

"We ordered big: a tomahawk, ribeye, crab cakes, coconut shrimp, lobster tail, and potatoes au gratin. Every plate came out perfect. We’ve tried all the “famous” spots on the island, and nothing else compared. "
