The food was delicious, I had the lasagna and my husband had the Sale & Pepe pollo with vegetables both were delicious! Very nice portion sizes, filling but not too filling. The server we had was awesome!!! Very informative, pleasant and professional. He was very charismatic, and had a great attitude.

    We entered and the staff were welcoming and we were able to get a nice seat. The interior is clean…read moreand appealing. It would be great for a family or date. As I stated before the waiters and servers were top notch. With that said, the kitchen was the issue. My wife ordered a lobster bisque or should I say a soup. To add insult to injury, there was literally one chunk of lobster that was almost half inch in size. The family did enjoy the bread, but the main meals had several misses that caused this restaurant to be a two star. I will start with my wife who had the lasagna. She said it was really good and could have been a dish from Italy (We were there last December). My daughter had the gnocchi and a side of meatballs. She stated the gnocchi was bland, but the meatballs were good. My son, started as a couple failures. First he ordered a beef tenderloin fillet. After being told that they were out he ordered the New York strip medium rare. When the food finally made it to the table it was rare. After sending it back the second one was cooked better. However the steak you could taste the rosemary, but was still no salt. Once adding salt to the steak it tasted good. He ordered a side of pasta which he really enjoyed. Finally, my order, I ordered the whole lobster. To start, the size of this lobster for $79 was a joke and if the lobster was good, I would have felt better! Not having a Caribbean Lobster before I was not sure how it was supposed to be and I wished I would have asked when I took my first bite. The lobster was supposed to be a grilled item. I was so looking forward to this lobster to be TOTALLY disappointed! The lobster was actually over cooked. I only found out after I was leaving because I asked how the consistency was supposed to be. If you only care about scenery and pasta this is the place for you! Anything else, there are a lot of options in the area to choose from.

    First time in St. Maarten and down the street from our hotel was The Palms. We were hungry and…read moredecided to check it out. Very nice and casual establishment with a welcoming atmosphere. We both ordered the oxtails with peas and rice. Boy oh boy were they good! Nicely seasoned and very tender. The server was very attentive. We would go again!

    The Palms was the best restaurant we had during our week in Saint Martin. The kitchen is small so…read moreyou might wait when the place is packed, but the food is worth every minute. Their ribs were the best we tried on the island. The oxtail was the best we tried on the island. I fell in love with the curry goat roti. It tasted like it came straight from Trinidad. I wiped my plate clean and wished I had taken a picture. I ordered the drink special and swapped the tequila for rum. Diane, the bartender, made it sweet and smooth with coconut cream. It was so good I am naming it the Ashley. If you like coconut and sweet drinks, you will enjoy it. Our waitress Joe and Connor took great care of us. The service matched the food. The ribs were so tender the bone slid right out. My boyfriend and I split them as an appetizer and cleaned the bones. The cheesecake was also delicious. Every single thing we ate here was amazing. I would recommend this place. We are coming back. I want the curry shrimp next time and my boyfriend plans to get the curry goat again.

    Absolutely amazing!!…read more Unassuming and not pretentious while still being clean, friendly, accommodating, and delicious. This was one of our favorites dinners while we visited Saint Maarten. The husband and wife owners are absolutely incredible. My son ordered the spaghetti. I ordered the lobster and my husband ordered the whole snapper. Spaghetti- the chef came over and grated fresh Parmesan over the spaghetti...delicious Lobster- couldn't decide if I wanted it prepared creole style or Thermidor. The wife made a decision for me and had each half prepared differently. I was soooo grateful and tipped accordingly because that was a lot of work. My husband and I planned to share the lobster and he doesn't like tomatoes so they left the fresh tomatoes out of the creole side and added okra (I love okra but my husband hates them). My husband tried it nonetheless and loved it. The lobster was delicious! Curried Whole snapper - AMAZING! The food and all the sides were served piping hot and my husband REALLY appreciated that. He also appreciated the size of the snapper (maybe about 2.5lbs). He ordered whole snapper at every restaurant we visited and this location had the largest whole fish. The view from the restaurant is amazing. They play music in the square that you enter to access the restaurant. The music is loud enough to hear while dining. Not sure if it's an every night thing or not. Music was fine. Overall, we were really happy to spend our money here!

    It was a hot evening and once entering the place, I saw 2 swap coolers pointed to a couple of…read moretables. I got sat behind the cooler where it was just blowing hot air at me. Their wifi didn't connect and the bathroom was across the way, outside of the building. I placed my food order but my drink order wasn't taken. I asked the chef owner for water and he said the server would get it, which was his wife but they were both too busy sitting at other people's table and chatting it up while I'm over her parched for water for 15 minutes! WTF! I can't even get some water in this hot muggy crappy place? I ordered a pie because I was starving bc I guess this Italian place doesn't give bread. I had to get up and order it and my water with the other chef that was standing around bc no one was helping me get anything. Ordered the most horrendous clam pasta I have ever had with extra bitter and old arugula on top. Nothing about this place was palatable. The service sucked. Didn't realize this clam pasta was not coming with linguine but instead penne with some thick tasteless cheese sauce. This was definitely easily that worst restaurant I've eaten on the island. I should have left as soon as I knew I wasn't going to get water right away
