Port Royal is one of the few places left in Kingston where you can immerse yourself in quiet, serene tranquility and forget about the hustle and bustle of typical city life. Most people associate Port Royal with fabulous seafood, and for good reason. Tucked away in a corner of this quiet and virtually crime-free fishing village is a small restaurant called Fisherman’s Cabin. This restaurant has a small indoor bar/dining area which opens out onto a deck that sits right on the sea. The inside dining area will win no awards for ambience or décor, but if you can manage to get a seat out on the deck you are sure to find the view of the sea against the backdrop of the faraway city buildings quite relaxing. Come at sunset and the view will be even more beautiful, as you can watch the horizon turn into a wonderful haze of orange and purple while the fishing boats of the locals bob against the shoreline.  
 
Though this restaurant is one of my personal favourites, I must say that the service here is pretty much ‘hit or miss’. The waiters/waitresses, though mostly pleasant, are sometimes a just a tad bit ‘rough around the edges’, and there are times when you may have to wait a while before being served.  
 
That said, the food is usually well worth the wait. Their various fish dishes are absolutely delectable, and the steamed bammy is scrumptious! Also on the menu is shrimp, chicken, and lobster done in a variety of ways, and these people do not skimp on portions. There’s a fairly wide array of beverages which includes alcoholic drinks and fruit juices . 
 
Fisherman’s Cabin provides all the ingredients necessary for a cozy, romantic dinner, or a quiet get-together with friends. 
 
 
Note: To get a seat out on the deck it might be a good idea to come out before 5:00 p.m., especially if you’re coming out on a Friday. 
 
 
Bon Apetit!

 Nice Meal, Bad Waitress, Monday, 19 March 2007

I've been to this little restaurant several times. The meal is mouth watering and the steam bammies are heavenly. Normally the service is par excellance, however on March 3rd,2007 i'm not sure what happenned. My friends and i waited for what seemed to be eternity to be served and when we enquired after an hour,the lone female waitress went to find out what happened and did not return. Had it not been for prior visits and a male waiter who attended towards the end, this restaurant would have gotten zero for service. You dont have to ask, she did not get a tip.
