About
Discover lively Caribbean cuisine paired with global flair at our restaurant The Rocks, located in the epicenter of Golden Rock Inn. Dating back to the early 1800’s, it sits on a hundred acres stretching up the verdant slopes of Nevis Peak with glorious tropical gardens, and sea views toward the Caribbean islands of Antigua and Montserrat. Golden Rock Inn has been thoughtfully restored and expanded through the eyes of artists Helen and Brice Marden, and fresh fish & lobster come from local fishermen, and tropical fruits and vegetables come from neighboring growers. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served alfresco on our dining decks overlooking the sea, or within intimate garden settings. Under

Absolutely stunning restaurant, service was exceptional and the food was great. Eating under the stars, we have not dined in a more beautiful setting.

We had a wonderful meal at the Rocks while in Nevis. Originally we head planned to go up at 6:30 for our dinner but had been encouraged to go earlier during daylight to see the property. So we moved our dinner reservation up and went...up at 5 pm. I’m so glad we did! The grounds are stunning. We enjoyed seeing the tropical plants while having a drink. When we sat for dinner it was quite dark but our table and the grounds were lite perfectly. The food was great. The meal here (and at Bananas) is worth leaving your resort for. We stayed at rhe FS and the food could not compare to the Rock and Bananas.More

Gorgeous place, wonderful service, amazing food at a reasonable price! This place is a MUST if you visit Nevis! The fruit cup is best I’ve ever had, a touch of mint makes such a difference.

Excellent place for quite fine dining. Beautiful location and friendly staff. Very reasonable wine list. If you aren’t comfortable driving at night just get a taxi and they will drop you off at the entrance.

Great views fantastic food and service. If you visit this island you must stop by this restaurant located at the Golden Rock Hotel for lunch or dinner. We did dinner and the only down side is it gets really dark really quickly and I had...to use my phone light to see what I was eating.More

We had lunch here on the way back to the Four Seasons from a hike. The property is gorgeous and the food was excellent (they were out of their famous lobster rolls but the fish tacos were great). If you're not staying here, worth the...trip for the food and the grounds, and more reasonably priced than usual resort food.More

We had a lovely lunch at the Rocks and can 100 percent recommend it. The lobster rolls were delicious, the scenery is beautiful and we got a little tour around the island getting there and back. The staff were helpful in getting us cash after...we visited 4 ATMs on the island to pay the taxi driver and were unsuccessful at getting cash, but they made it happen for us! Beautiful experience!
