An intimate date, celebratory dinner, overdue family feast, or rendezvous with old friends – some occasions that inspire patrons to treat themselves to a fine dining reservation. When you step into Spring Garden Restaurant there’s a cozy exuded elegance, with a dash of unwinding. It’s where waiters greet you at the entrance, situated along the Ocho Rios bypass on the cusp of the neighbouring St.Mary parish. With a long standing reputation as an uppercrust dining experience, it has consistently held a top spot in the niche for years.

Spring Garden Seafood & Steakhouse Restaurant, Ocho Rios Jamaica
Spring Garden restaurant is an airy establishment with 3 areas to feast: a covered patio by greenery, the main area with a bar, and a more private indoor dining option. The outer eating spaces, namely the raised deck and air-conditioned room, create a more intimate feeling for a lovely dinner date in Jamaica. Seating fit for couples and groups checker the restaurant’s floors, which are known to welcome generations of guests.
Sit at a table with neatly-tucked utensil sets that cater to any meal course. Whether the choice be appetizer, entrée, dessert (or all), it’d be a prime one! Spring Garden restaurant’s à la carte menu was paired with a wine list on a linen-lined table awaiting us. Their options encourage patrons to have a full dining experience, where your cooked-to-order meal can be savoured on the tongue and fill both your plate and stomach.
1 thing I’m relieved about at Spring Garden restaurant is that it serves a satisfying serving of scrumptious dishes. A big question restaurant goers (including me) have asked is, why many fine dining establishments serve in such small portions?! After probably saving up to afford lavish dining, to me it’s heartbreaking when your belly isn’t filled after eating an intricate, photogenic dish designed on the plate. From what I’ve read, luxury restaurants tend to source quality ingredients from multiple sources, which increases the meals’ production costs and thus their price point. In order to make these dishes affordable to consumers, they are served in tiny portions. Hefty helpings thankfully weren’t skimmed on here – 1 trait not all restaurants can boast, especially a fine dining one! Fellow bloggers Monifa (EpicTourzz), Tashika (Foodiee_Tash), and I each enjoyed a main course with drinks, and barely spared enough space to even consider any additional course.
- Seafood Platter – Grilled lobster tail, fish fillet, and crunchy fried shrimp
- Sizzler – Chunks of fish and lobster meat crackling in bell pepper sauce on a hot plate
- Surf & Turf – Grilled lobster tail and a ribeye steak topped with sweet in-house sauce on a bed of seasoned vegetables
Fine Dining Ocho Rios Restaurant
What made the experience here extra special was the service. From the waitress to the chef to the owner, we (and from observation, other guests too) were made to feel appreciated as patrons thanks to its ongoing staff interactions. Our waitress checked in consistently to see if our desires were met throughout the visit. Being known as a fine dining establishment in Jamaica, I decided to compare our experience at Spring Garden restaurant to this 10 steps of service list I found:
