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.

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.

Can't come to a Caribbean island and not do a rum (rhum) tasting tour. We arrived and were greeted…read morewith a welcome cup of rhum punch. I'm not a fruity drink person, so it was a bit too sweet for my taste--I could really taste the fruit juice. That said, this experience was much more than I expected. I thought it would just be a few rhum tastings and that's it, but it turned into a full experience: a history lesson, cooking and food tasting demonstration, and even a chance to participate in the rhum bottling process. Christina, our "rhumologist," kicked things off with tastings of the signature rhums, followed by a cooking demonstration featuring chicken cooked with tropical rhum, plus samples of rhum cake and gelato. We wrapped up with tastings of the specialty rhums. My favorite was the jalapeño lime rhum--so good that my husband and I ended up buying a bottle. The tour lasted about 1.5 hours and flew by. Overall, a really cool and memorable experience in St. Maarten.
