3Dives Jerk Centre - Review

January 14, 2007

Info:

West End Road - Just past Samsara & Xtabi
876-782-9990
Website

Food:

Jerk Chicken with Rice & Peas is a mainstay of Jamaican Cuisine, and Lydie does it better than most. The food is fresh and made to order. Lobster (in season) is done well at 3Dives, cut in half lenthwise, Jamaican style. I’ve had the Fish of the Day too, but watch out for them bones!

Drinks:

I don’t think I’ve ever had anything other than Red Stripe or Ting, but they are cold. I always order one from the bar, the waitresses sometimes take a while to get to you.

Ambiance:

Rustic Roadside Negril Style Dining. Covered wooden tables on the main patio. There’s a thatch bar out near the water, 3Dives is right in the cliff. I guess there are three places to dive from, but I always stay on land. There is lots of room to roam around and watch the sunset, or just relax.

Service:

The food is made to order. It’s best to go on busy nights, the waitresses can be a bit aloof on slower nights.

Value:

The food is so reasonable. 1/2 Jerk Chicken 500J - Curries Chicken 400J - Grilled Lobster 1500J - Red Stripe 150J

Notes:

I never miss 3Dives. The food is consistantly fantastic, and the ambiance is exactly what you dream up when you think about a Jamaican Jerk Joint. Not fancy, but perfect. It’s become world famous since The Amazing Race featured it in one of their episodes, Lydie was the guy giving the clue to the next destination.
