I was really surprised how unknown Bentley's is to the locals. I talked to several taxi drivers and they had never heard of him. The driver from our hotel (who sells his crab cakes by the way) didn't know how to get there and I had to give him directions. Bentley mentioned to us that he's lost a couple of restaurants that he used to sell crab cakes to because they were mad that he was also serving them cheaper than they could. It's not just a good meal your getting at Bentley's, he provides and evenings entertainment and education that isn't available anywhere else in Negril. Hopefully his business keeps growing so we can go there every year. Everyone keep spreadin the word.
That sucks. We had a similar problem with a driver last time when we asked to go to Jenny's, he had to stop and get directions, while I was under the impression it was very well known.
Awaiting our return to Negril, 07/01/12

You can say that again. I've been shocked many times by cabbies that seemed clueless considering there is only ONE main street, lol!
Well, I've shown Bet the photos of the crab cakes and told her how you folks have been raving about Bentley and it is officially on our to do list. Thanks all for the great info.

Hi there dbrook...I would be happy to take the photos to him. I leave one month from today (Woo Hoo). Let me know and I will message you my address.
Thanks Iriesistah. I have his address now so I'll just mail them directly to him rather than mailing them to you and then you having to deal with it. Thanks for the offer though. Enjoy your trip and say hi to Bentley for us. I'm sure he'll remember us. There were 10 in our party.
There have been a couple comments about Bentley's being off the beaten path, not easily found, and even the taxi drivers don't know where it is.
I am looking at the Negril Map and I see ELLA / PEE WEE LANE and under it in smaller type Bentley's Crabhouse with an arrow pointing to the lane. How far up the lane is Bentley's? (Bet is not into walking) Is ELLA / PEE WEE lane easy to spot?
Being rustic what are the restroom options?

Ella Lane is right next to No Limit Bar if you are familiar with where that is.
Heading up the cliffs it is just a little bit past Blue Cave Castle.
Pee Wees bar is on the right (cliffside) and No Limit bar is on the left, Ella lane is the road right on the left immediately after No Limit Bar
Hope that helps
