    Looking for an exceptional dining experience that incorporates island vibes with decadent dining? Look no further! We started the night out by having a few drinks at the outside bar. The drinks were made well. The bartender outside was very friendly and helped set the tone for the evening. He made a few drink recommendations that were all delicious. It was very clear from the beginning he was a professional. My boyfriend, two friends & myself then walked into the restaurant and were promptly greeted & sat at our table. Our waiter who I believe was named Jackie, took our order quickly & told some jokes along the way. My favorite by far was the chicken (unfortunately not available as of right now). My boyfriend ordered the French onion soup & steak which we all agree was perfectly cooked. We also ordered calamari and oysters, as well as lobster "Escargots", which I highly recommend trying! For dessert, try the pistachio brownie. You won't regret it. When it comes to experience and quality of food, this restaurant is easily the best in Maho, if not the best on the island. We also had an opportunity to meet the chef, who clearly has a passion for his craft. This quality of his definitely comes through in the food he prepares. Regarding prices, it is on par with most of the restaurants on the island. Highly worth the price considering the quality of food and exceptional service. Can't wait to go back.

    Came in to pickup an order placed over the phone. The preparation was really quick and ready in 15 minutes. Parking is challenging in the evening since this is a popular area but I jumped out to grab the food while my husband circled back. The staff was friendly and greeted me right away. I picked up my order at the bar and enjoyed the banter with the person waiting on me. Food was packaged well and sealed well too. Inside there is plenty of seating and a nice atmosphere. They offer outdoor seating as well. This looks like a great date night restaurant. I was told that the steak was delicious so I cannot wait to try a seated meal here.

    Mac and cheese (no bacon added by request)

    I heard this was a must try on the island so I made sure to make reservations. The restaurant is across the casino so it's a nice downtown vibe. It's upstairs in what I would call a "strip mall". There's seating outside with an outside bar area. The inside is very nice and decor is to expect with a steakhouse. The hostess greeted myself and my friend with a smile and great energy. She sat us fairly quickly after finding my reservation. She gave a good explanation of the special/ catch of the day. Our waiter was also nice. He seemed to be the main if not only one working the outdoor seating. The menu is simple to select from. They have a good selection of surf and turf options. We went straight for drinks and entrees. We were also provided some delicious bread and butter. I forgot the name of the drink my friend got but she got the 6 oz prime petit filet and 1/2 lobster with a side of buttered potato purée. She also added a side of mac and cheese (no bacon). I got the 6 oz prime petit filet and shrimp with a side of buttered potato purée and lychee martini. I felt my drink was way too strong however it was my first time drinking a lychee martini. If you love lychee martini you may love the one here. Our drinks and food came out quickly. We didn't wait long for it. Both filets were cooked medium well and everything on the plate was delicious. My friend's mac and cheese came out later than the meal. I believe the waiter didn't think she was set on ordering it when she did but it came out shortly after we brought this to his attention. (By the way the "busboys" were also nice and helpful). We tried the Mac and cheese and it was the only thing that was disappointing to us. It's something about the type of cheese that was used. All in all, I would definitely recommend this steakhouse if you're looking for a delicious steakhouse on the island. Staff, service, ambience and vibe is great. Hope this helps! Oh and we dressed up but I'm not sure if there's a specific dress code. Seen some people in casual clothing.

    Enjoyed dinner at Jax steakhouse in St Martin. The restaurant is quint, small but really cute and intimate. The service was fast and the server was friendly. We did not have reservation and they were still able to accommodate us fortunately. The food was great, best food we had since we been on the island. We ordered the short rib, which was made well done with veggies and mash Potatoes: which was really good. We also ordered the seafood pasta which was also delicious. I would recommend checking this place out.

    Standard Caesar salad that was not worth $51

    I really don't know where to begin on this one! I want to give a 3-4 star for my New York steak that was well cooked but a 1 star for the hubs caesar salad...his $51 Caesar salad...yes $51 Caesar salad and a 1 star for the disingenuous server for not clarifying his suggestion of a standard 6 shrimp on his salad would be an additional $34. Disappointing to say the least. So 2 stars it is. Lesson to be learned, ask questions and ask for clarification/certainty at server recommendations!

    Great food & service. The seafood pasta was 10/10 and Jackie was so helpful and nice. Thank you. So far this has been my favorite spot here in SXM

    Decent location, nice inside as well.

    Went here by recommendation of local bartender and another "local", DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Jerome was very good, thank you, my man! 5 star service, 5 star food and atmosphere 5 stars.as well!.

    Catch of the day

    Nice ambience and very good food! We tried the chicken and catch of the day in which both were good. Sava made sure we were taken care of so we will be returning pretty soon to try the lamb and steak will provide update in a couple of days

    I had a amazing experience during my visit to Jax. Not only are the steaks greats, the drinks are so good and the appetizers are delicious as well as filling! The service is amazing, Steve is the best waiter and made sure me and my family were well taken care of. They offer outdoor and indoor seating for those humid Saint Maarten nights. I enjoyed the meatballs,lamb chomps, and lychee martini.

    This place earns five stars from me! My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary and…read morewanted a waterfront restaurant, and this was the perfect choice with its beautiful views overlooking the marina. We made reservations before we arrived, although they really weren't necessary--but how were we to know? We were seated at a lovely table overlooking the marina, and once the sun went down, the twinkling lights reflecting on the water created a beautiful atmosphere. There was also a wonderful breeze, which was such a pleasant surprise for July. We expected it to be much hotter! I ordered the surf and turf with my choice of three different steaks and selected the ribeye with a half lobster tail. The ribeye was enormous, cooked perfectly, and seasoned so well that every bite was bursting with flavor. The lobster tail was tender and delicious. The portion was so generous that I ended up sharing my steak with my husband! The rice and peas were so good that he kept scooping them onto his plate--and he's definitely not a rice-and-peas kind of guy! He's usually a mashed potato guy...as you can tell from his own plate! It was hands down some of the best I've had in a very long time. The crispy tostones were the perfect compliment . He ordered the Grouper topped with lobster sauce, and really enjoyed it. His side choice was mashed potatoes and vegetables. I had a bite and concur the group. It was very moist and the sauce. It was just delicious. I had peaked at the menu prior to arriving and that's what I had every intention of ordering but then when I saw the surf and turf I was like, hey why not let's celebrate at $66 I didn't think it was much of an issue As a really nice surprise and great gesture, a molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and fresh whipped cream was delivered to us with happy anniversary wishes on the house. We've been visiting the island for over 25 years, often several times a year, and somehow this was our first visit to this restaurant. It definitely won't be our last. Highly recommended!

The appetizers took an hour to come out and I have no idea what the cooks were doing. The food was cold and spoke to the chef and all he did was take off for the cheapest meal and which was cold also. If I could give a no star I would. Food was cold and tough. I spoke with the head chef Carlos not really wanting to appease to our experience. We didn't even get an apology for the long wait. This is my family's first and last time going there. Especially being on vacation. I highly doubt not recommend this place at all and it's highly disappointing due to the location of the place that set the ambiance off from what could've been a memorable moment.

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!

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.
