Our review
Rendezvous Chargrill is a charcoal grill on the marina at Queensway Quay. It holds 4.6 on Tripadvisor from 501 reviews and 4.5 on Google from 656, which gives an Index of 4.50. The reviews were re-read on 6 September 2026 and the newest are from the first days of September, so the picture is current.
The cooking gets the credit first. Steaks are described as cooked exactly, a rib-eye called the best one partner had eaten, and the fish is praised with unusual precision: an August 2026 reviewer credits the chef, Nico, with a delicate touch and says the produce was of the highest standard. Sea bass, cod, clams, prawn and scallop ravioli, ribs, a meat longboard big enough to share, halloumi fries and a carbonara are all named, and portions are large.
Tim is the name that recurs, praised for wine knowledge and for holding a very busy night together during a fashion show on the quay; a table of eight was seated promptly without a booking, and two drinks on the house closed one meal. The setting, with sunset over the marina, is a large part of why people write. Prices are called a little high by some and very reasonable for the quality by others.
The complaints are few but pointed. A May 2026 couple who declined wine describe being ignored for half an hour by every member of staff and leaving without ordering. On one day in August 2026 two Google reviewers gave one star: one was refused an outside table when several were free, the other found the service slow and the cocktails tired, in an account that is hard to follow. A May diner also found service slow at a busy moment.
Come for well-cooked steak and fish over charcoal at the water's edge, and book if you can; go in knowing prices are marina prices and that a few 2026 accounts describe being handled coldly. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here, and this write-up is drawn from the reviews.
Written from the Tripadvisor reviews and both platforms' scores on 6 September 2026, not from a meal we ate — nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here. We show the Google rating but have not yet read Google's reviews for the write-up. The recurring themes it draws on are below.
What reviewers consistently say
Our summary of recurring themes across the 28 most recent reviews, written in our own words and read on 6 September 2026. Recent reviews from both platforms are quoted, with attribution, further down.
- Steaks and fish cooked over charcoal, with the chef Nico credited by name for the fish.
- Tim is named for wine knowledge and for keeping a very busy night running.
- Sea bass, clams, prawn and scallop ravioli, ribs and a shareable meat longboard are named, in large portions.
- A marina setting with sunset views, and walk-ins accommodated even for a table of eight.
- A May 2026 couple describe being ignored after declining wine, and two one-star Google reviews landed on one August day.
What it gets right
- Precise chargrill cooking, fish and steak alike
- A genuine marina setting with sunset
- Staff named and generous, with drinks on the house recorded
What it gets wrong
- Marina prices
- A few 2026 accounts of cold or slow service
- Outside tables not always offered when free
How it compares
It holds 4.6 out of 5 on Tripadvisor from 501 reviews — well above the Gibraltar median of 4.1 across 106 restaurants with enough reviews to rank, and on a large body of reviews.
Among comparable places, it is 2 of 6 Steakhouse options we track, by rating.
It is priced in the middle of Gibraltar's range.
How the Gibraltar Index Score is built
It is not an average of the two. Each source is weighted by how many reviews it carries, then pulled toward the Gibraltar average so a high score from a handful of reviews cannot outrank a strong score from thousands. Rendezvous Chargrill scores 4.6 from 501 on Tripadvisor and 4.5 from 656 on Google, which the model blends to 4.5.
We read the 28 most recent Tripadvisor reviews and summarised what recurs, in our own words; the reviews we drew on are quoted below, attributed to their authors. The Tripadvisor and Google scores are each shown 1:1 as those platforms publish them; the Index Score is ours and the formula is above. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here, so nothing is a first-hand verdict.
