My absolute favorite restaurant on the island. Everything we tried was delicious and served impeccably. The staff was very nice and took care of us throughout the whole dinning time . The dining experience is another level at this place ! Totally recommend it and can’t wait to be back !

We came here for the last dinner of our honeymoon and enjoyed it! We had the escargot special, the lamb shank, and veal entree. The escargot was delicious, especially the cream. The Moroccan lamb shank was also great, but certainly not Moroccan other than being smothered in coriander. The veal is their signature dish also but it isn’t in our palette preference. The dessert was delicious! Dark chocolate cake with ice cream. All of the above came out to a tote of $150 (no drinks). A few notes: our hotel manager from grand case beach club confirmed our reservation, but the reservation was nowhere to be found when we showed up. Fortunately we came late in the evening for dinner and on a slow day, but I can see this being an issue on busy nights. As for the space itself - the bathroom floor and walls were splattered in feces at 8PM on 03/06/2024. Quite an odd experience for a high end dinner. The restaurant’s tables are also cramped together so it’s difficult to have a conversation or romantic evening with the louder crowds taking less than 6 inches away.

Best meal of our trip out of all the outstanding places we ate at. The service was also exceptional! Just go, dont think twice about it, trust me.

Great experience! Food phenomenal, service top notch! They even let my kiddo hold the live lobsters. It was a highlight for her. Loved this place!

This was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The staff were friendly and helpful despite a very busy service. The quality of food preparation was at a Michelin star level. Their signature lobster thermidor was truly sublime and I still have daily cravings for their shrimp fettuccine. I would highly recommend this spot to all. It was definitely our best dining experience on the island.

Phenomenal experience at Bistrot Caraïbes on our last night in SXM 🥰 The meal was exceptional and the service top notch. It really is a must when visiting the island. We had the foie gras, lobster Thermador, and the chocolate cake. Truly one of the best French meals of our lives.

Excellent food and service. Bacon wrapped scallops are the best scallops my wife has ever had. Their signature hot chocolate cake with ice cream was my favorite of our entire trip. Will definitely be back.

Ok, this restaurant is one of my favorites in Grand Case. The food is superb and the service is very friendly. If I had to say anything at all that was unfavorable, it would be the noise from the motor bikes passing by repeatedly in front of the restaurant, but this I can hold against the restaurant. Great job guys, keep up the great job. Bravo.

One of Islands’ nicest restaurants located in Grand Case, which is not for nothing the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean. The restaurant has a chic and inviting atmosphere and serve classic French cuisine with a touch of Caribbean with fresh fish, lobster and other local ingredients. We had the foie gras special which was simply amazing, one of the best foie dishes I have had so far. Elo had the shrimp salad which was also perfectly cooked and served with a nice fresh and crisp salad. As mains we tried the famous Lobster Thermidor and Sea Bass. I now know why this Lobster dish is famous, it was incredible; super tender lobster and such a tasty creamy sauce. The SeaBass was also superb in flavor and all bones nicely taken out making it very easy to eat. For dessert we had their signature crème brûlée and the molten chocolate cake. Both super well presented and great in flavor. Overall a wonderful dinner with a good ambiance, service and a very nice presentation of the plates. Bistrot Caraibes offers an exceptional fine dining experience and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend a visit to this place if you are a foodie.

An exceptional dinner. We tried the lobster which was wonderful as well as the foie gras booty base and lamb shank. Everything was so good. Save room for the desserts.

My wife and I had a wonderful dinner here, even as a tropical storm came through Grand Case. Great good, friendly service, and good atmosphere. The Lobster Thermidor was excellent, as was everything else we tried. I hope we'll be able to dine here again in the future!

My group of 9 visited Bistro Caraibes for NYE dinner. The restaurant atmosphere is warm and intimate With a reservation, we were seated right away, which was the start of a perfect evening of fantastic food and exceptional service. The staff was attentive and kind. Everyone in my group thoroughly enjoyed their dishes. Highlights included the lobster bisque, the roasted onion soup, the tuna tataki, the salmon and the lamb tagine. The lamb is cooked for 5 hours, leaving a tender, flavorful cut of meat swimming in a wonderful veggies and broth. It was divine. The dish is quite large so I shared it with my sister. Dessert standouts included hot chocolate cake and the crème brûlée. The chocolate cake should be called death by chocolate because it’s indulgently rich. So good! All in all, we really enjoyed our evening at Biatro. I would easily return on a next visit to St Maarten.

This was the best dinner we had during our whole trip! We got the signature lobster dish and it was the best lobster we've ever had. You get to pick your lobster out before they cook it, so the size may vary but we shared one large lobster. The escargot was really great as well, but there are a lot of them. I wish there was a smaller serving of that dish. The creme brulee was also the best we had while we were there. Would highly recommend - make a reservation!!

Absolutely impeccable food and service. Wonderful quaint French restaurant in the heart of Grande Case. It reflects everything we have come to expect in Grand Case. The baked crispy goat cheese, onion soup, lobster, veal. Just wow. We have been to many in this area but this will always be in our top 3. You won't be disappointed.

We had a phenomenal 3-course dinner with delicious appetizers, yummy lobster thermador and tasty desserts. The only negative is either dying of heat inside or dealing with a constant flow of cigarette smokers sitting outside.

Beware if you visit on Sundays, it is packed to the max, we couldn't get a seat, and the music was so loud you couldn't hear yourself think. The rest of the week was very nice though. We went for breakfast twice, and the meals were very generous with portions, and quite tasty, with a great rooftop view of the island.

Lovely experience - we spent 4h and had lot of fun. We ate and used their beach set up. Servers are so nice and accommodating, Paolo in particular was very helpful! Loved the food, the setting and the views. It could use a bit of music at the beach…

Amazing food here that you won't want to miss. Got the Mediterranean salad and the Rainbow bowl for our entrées Top 3 best salads I've ever had hands down. Sushi here is also very good and makes for a great appetizer. Tropical iced tea is also a must! So fresh and so good. Staff was really amazing. There is also a rooftop bar and fashion boutique here. Models come around table by table every once in a while while you eat showcasing the clothes. The beach club here looks really great too. Loungers aren't too expensive and look very comfortable (like lounger versions of blow up mattresses). You should make a reservation in advance though as we were unable to get them and went to the beach club next door (which was also really great). The beach is gorgeous. Clean, calm water, and very blue! Also a DJ here very frequently. Awsome experience and will be back here for sure.

Unique beanbag lounge chairs. Very comfortable, but a little difficult to stand up if you are older. The beach here is perfect if you have small children. Shout out to Tom, who took care of us. We will return when we come back. Loved it! AND my wife loved the boutique upstairs. The owner will come through the restaurant and model her clothes and accessories. We luckily picked this place for our first day on the island, and my wife got a big st. Martin bag here. People all over the island kept asking her where she got it.

We had Sunday brunch here and I must say, it's a charming place - very Boho Chic with an intense French influence. The menu is in French; however, they offer a translated version. The food was amazing - typical French influence is felt. The view is astounding. I wouldn't suggest being an in a hurry, in accordance to French culture, the meal is slow with time to enjoy your cafe au lait and conversation. Would definitely go again the next time we are on the island. Parking is of course a challenge, but that's to be expected.

One of my favorite restaurants on the island. I loved it so much I went twice on my vacation. The view, ambience, the food, service, vibes, were absolutely amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced anything like this anywhere else. I 10/10 recommend and already planning a trip back.

Great spot, def best beach iv seen in sxm, beach chairs are annoying tho lol, food and music was great abit pricey but what can u do its the french side of sxm..overal had a blast and was solid, def recommend coming here at least once during ur stay on the island

Went to this place for lunch during my stay at st Marteen. The place got a really cool vibe and ambience. They have good sitting view with sea. I ordered their seafood items. The food tastes was really great. I would really recommend moquca Bahia. The food was served in order but the temperature was not up the mark. But the tastes was good. However, I would like them to pay attention to time as we waited for long to get the food after ordered. Also will advice them to improved the service time for customer. The place can be busy depending upon times and need reservation to be served.

I was in St Martin for the first time and was in search of a great breakfast as I love a good breakfast. Then I came across a review on trip advisor that they served breakfast, I had to go and experience it for myself. It was one of the best breakfast I've had . The bubble waffle was amazing and the toast they serve was so delicious. I highly recommend this place if your a big breakfast eater like myself. You will not be disappointed. Great service too. Will go early am when they open at 8am to have a great breakfast before my flight back to the US. Looking for to making this my go too breakfast place when I return again.

Absolutely loved this place! Prime beautiful beach location, great servers, fabulous cocktails and delicious food! I wish we could have stayed longer but my kiddo was getting burnt and tired. But I could have lounged on this beach, in those puffy beach chairs, with all that deliciousness, allll day! Probably our favorite cocktail inventions that we tried on the whole island!

This is a must visit location! We went on a Sunday and fell in LOVE with the energy of this restaurant! The staff were super friendly and outgoing! Willing to help record or take pictures of you and your friends. There was a Dj and also a musician who was playing a flute and saxophone to the music. After a certain time, they actually remove all the tables and chairs and turn into a club.

we loved this cafe during our stay in st martin. we visited three times during our week long vacation, for lunch twice and dinner once. we also enjoyed drinks from here during our days at the beach. they bring the drinks to your chairs (which they rent for 20 dollars for the day). the staff is friendly and food was great. it can get a bit loud during the day as they do have a dj but it makes for a fun environment.

The best restaurant to visit in Saint Martin! Service is on extremely high level, all staff is super friendly and passionate to their job. I always feel so welcome when we are visiting this place! Food is great, delicious, so fresh! Amazing atmosphere of French Riviera! ❤️❤️❤️

Lovely small French restaurant specializing in sushi. The dining area is over its party / nightclub area, so it can get a bit noisy. Otherwise, the oceanfront atmosphere is perfect. St. Emilion wine was very nice, and rotisserie chicken Ceasar Salad with bacon excellent and huge. The tuna sushi with three different types was impressive and outstanding (according to my dining partner).

Nestled in the heart of Grand Case, St. Martin, Rainbow Cafe effortlessly captures the essence of a South of France beach club, presenting an idyllic blend of culinary finesse and laid-back luxury. With its toes dipped in the sands of the Caribbean and a view that stretches into the azure beyond, it offers a retreat that feels both exclusive and inviting. Upon entering, the vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere is palpable, underscored by the rhythmic beats of a live DJ, whose selections infuse the air with a subtle energy, mirroring the pulse of the French Riviera. The culinary journey here is an exploration of contrasts and harmony. The grilled octopus is a revelation, tender and richly flavored, kissed by fire and accompanied by a melody of Mediterranean influences that dance on the palate. It’s a testament to the chef's prowess and a homage to the sea's bounty. Not to be overshadowed, the sushi presents an artful fusion of East meets West, with each roll crafted with precision and creativity. Fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor, it's a reminder of the global influences that converge at this seaside gem. Rainbow Cafe isn't just a meal; it's an experience. It embodies the spirit of a leisurely French beach club while embracing the warmth and color of the Caribbean. For those seeking a slice of the Côte d'Azur with a tropical twist, Rainbow Cafe is a destination unto itself.

Amazing food and atmosphere. Would highly recommend. We went for breakfast and I’m headed back to try the supper.

First, we'd like to say that Johan runs the show at that amazing restaurant. What a kind gentleman who is highly talented and shows great knowledge of the menu and ingredients found in the restaurant's various dishes. Management should take note that they have one of the hardest working employees we encountered on the island. Despite being run ragged on busy nights, we saw Johan smile, make all guests feel welcomed, and devote as much time as he humanly could at the many tables he waited on. Between his service and the food being delicious, we thoroughly enjoyed eating there on two separate nights of our eleven day vacation. When we return, we will look forward to having the honor of being served by Johan and tasting more wonderful dishes (both entrees and desserts).

After visiting the island many times, I don’t know why I didn’t try this restaurant any sooner. The service is unmatched and the food was delicious and fresh. Our server Pasquale went above and beyond to ensure a great first experience. 10/10 and will highly recommend. One of the best Italian restaurants we’ve dined at. We will be returning when we come back to SXM!

Phenomenal dining experience! Food was extremely delicious, the risotto is to die for. Ordered the mushroom risotto with chicken & the shrimp fettuccine. Drinks were spot on and service was wonderful, Kelly was insightful, attentive and very friendly. We have only went once so far but we will be stopping by again before our trip is over :)

Went with a large group to have dinner. Menu is very diverse, food was excellent, service was top notch. Would absolutely recommend and would absolutely go here again.

Great Italian Restaurant in St. Maarten! Went there twice in a short 1 week visit to the island because it was that good! Owner is from Italy and knows how to make a solid Italian meal!

Wonderful food, environment is beautiful! We had all of our entrees from the special menu, we were all so impressed, all of our meals were fabulous!

Our friend chose this spot for her birthday dinner and we all benefited! The ambiance is lovely (we sat in the outdoor seating area), our server Tiffany was personable, and knowledgeable. We had the bruschetta to start which was so flavorful. My husband and friend both ordered the chicken parmigiana as both had strong childhood memories attached to that dish. I ordered a shrimp risotto dish from the day’s specials menu. All of us were fully happy with our meals! Tiffany picked up on the fact that there was a birthday at the table, so arranged for the disco lights to come on, birthday music to play, and a couple of servers came out with the desserts we had ordered, a celebratory sparkler and their complementary tiramisu. It was all decadently delicious - lava cake, a crepe from the specials menu and the crème brûlée. Highly recommend this spot - especially when you’re celebrating something special!

The night we visited here was our last dinner on the island and we wanted it to be special. We were torn between this place and another nearby Italian spot but ultimately chose this one. Initially I was disappointed when we walked in to see it so empty inside and though the decor was nice, it felt something was missing. Part of me wished we went with the beachfront where we cancelled our alternate reservations. Thankfully our server Bernice was awesome. Actually the whole staff was amazing. Everyone was friendly and at some point, it seemed like every server came over and said hello. I ordered the Caesar salad and Mediterranean sea bass filet. We devoured the bread and crackers that came to our table before the meal came. So fast that we asked for more, but by then the food was coming out. My food was ok, but what made this visit really special for me was the way they helped us celebrate our anniversary! When I called to make the reservation I was asked if we were celebrating anything special and I mentioned our anniversary, since it was the day prior. After our meals were done we ordered dessert. We went with the dulce de leche crepe. A few minutes later, the lights suddenly went off and the DJ begins playing Shivers by Ed Sheeran. Bernice and other servers came to our table with our dessert and a sparkler. They completely caught me off guard and I was so excited! It definitely made us feel special and was the perfect finish to an awesome week.

This was hands down the best place we went to while on our trip. Every single thing we ate or drank was amazing. I personally loved the lobster ravioli and the seafood spaghetti. Can’t say enough good things about the gelato, the almonds really make it special. And the star of the show, the way they celebrate birthdays!! You have to see this for yourself but the fancy Italian restaurant temporarily transforms! Thank you so much to the staff for making this amazing.

Overall, very happy with the experience. Food was very good, we had asked for vegetarian options and they had clearly marked items & were willing to make a pasta off the menu for us (vodka sauce pasta). We had the eggplant parmesan, bruschetta and pasta all of which were 🔥. It’s quite pricey, and I’d definitely sit inside instead of outside due to the mosquitoes but otherwise great experience!

We walked here from our hotel and it was worth every step! We did not have a reservation but felt welcomed immediately and I felt that I was back in Italy. The staff were very friendly and so accommodating, even offering different accompaniments for sides with the main dish feature. The food was fresh, delicious and the portions were generous. I felt the prices were fair as well, with all things considered such as the special birthday fanfare and after dinner limoncello. We will be back! ❤️

I had a delightful dining experience at Izi Ristorante Italiano! The seabass and rib eyes were cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor and accompanied by mouthwatering sides. The attentive service and charming ambiance made for a truly enjoyable evening. I can't wait to return and explore more of their exquisite menu. Highly recommended!

Great restaurant with great people!! We came here for pasta; the taste and portions did not disappoint especially the gnocchi. The service was amazing. They were super accommodating with our meal changes ensuring we would be very satisfied with our supper. Very friendly and even served us dessert on the house.

The food and service were amazing. The rigatoni with italian sausage and lobster ravioli were great.

Amazing!! Very authentic Italian at a reasonable price point . Walking distance from Simpson Bay Resort. Highly recommend.

Our favorite restaurant on the island. David and the staff always go above and beyond to deliver quality food and the best service on the island. Thankful to come here every year, definitely a must visit location! Can’t recommend enough, stop by for dinner and you will not regret it! Tons of options, menu features some great homemade recipes, superb execution. They also have a gluten free pasta and super helpful to work with regarding gluten allergies. 1000/10 🤌

We had the most incredible meal here! We arrived early and sat in the lounge and had cocktails, which was fantastic. The meal itself was perfect! Each one of us was so impressed with the service, the attention to detail and the food itself. We loved the experience and hope to return in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful night!

The restaurant is a MUST. You need to try the chef"s menu. It is a culinary experience that is unforgettable. The flavours and appearance are ones to remember. Chef Bastian is welcoming and will even allow you to come to his kitchen to say a few words. The hotel is beautiful and the staff are polite, friendly and full of wonderful conversation.

This restaurant is in the owner's childhood home. They refit the kitchen and use the verandas for the seating areas. They seat up to 16 people at 7:30pm for a price fixed multiple course meal. The chef is creative and talented and lives there as well. It is WAY at the top of a hill and a steep drive, well worth it! The flavor of the dishes were complex and scrumptious! The house Hibiscus cocktail is delicious as well as pretty and not too sweet to have more than one. The family dog Wasabi is very relaxed and a great addition to the ambiance!

If you are looking for the best atmosphere, service and food, this is the place to be. First, the hospitality was amazing. Florian and Alex were amazing hosts and made sure we had everything we we needed. They went above and beyond and our baby daughter even smiled when they came by to check on us. The housekeeping team were also super friendly and made sure our room was fresh and clean. Second, the atmosphere has a tropical and luxurious feel with great views of the property, mountains and ocean. We definitely had the exotic vibes we were looking for. At the bar, Thomas made us some of the best drinks we ever had. I ordered some rare beverages (Ramos gin fizz for example) that he executed perfectly. He is a magician! And the food…WOW. Chef Bastian made us the best meal I can recall ever having. It was something he “whipped” together for us since my wife has allergies. I’m already counting down to eat his culinary creations again next year. I know the word “genius” is thrown around loosely nowadays, but he really is a genius when it comes to food and creativity. In addition to being an elite chef, he is also very friendly and has great taste in music, which adds to the exotic vibes of La Villa Hibiscus. This was probably the best vacation experience my wife and I have ever been on thanks to the crew at the Villa. We left with unforgettable experiences and new friends.

If by "rooms", they mean the dining areas they were very well done. The meal was fabulous, very creative and you could tell every ingredient in each course was fresh and very thoughtful. As experienced "fine diners" around the world, we felt the 5 course chef choice was done exceptionally. Additionally, other guests around us at other tables were very pleased with their meals as well. The drinks were very good and creative and the setting is beautiful. We will definitely be back.

GLORIOUS! The rooms, the staff, the food. We had an amazing meal, enjoyed beautifully crafted rooms, and truly appreciated the friendly and accommodating staff. The rooms are romantic, incorporating lovely patio space for coffee or a drink. There’s a pool nestled among the rooms. But even if you don’t stay here, EAT HERE. Creative, interesting, beautiful cocktails and food all served with such warmth from the staff.

This place is the place to go in St. Martin for a true culinary dining experience. From the setting to the service and the food! The view was spectular! We were surrounded by lush vegetation, flowers, plam trees and greeted with butterfly/hummingbird. The service here was so welcoming and waitress were so kind and friendly to chat with and accomdating. Not one moment you feel rushed or unattended. We ordered the 5 course lunch (100 Euro per person) wine pairing (80 euro), and it was worth the price. I don't usually go to high end priced places, but I actually feel this place is worth it for the experience. Just make sure you make your reservation early. Else they may not be able to accomodate you.

We did not stay at the Villa. Rather, we dined at the restaurant on Valentine's Day. Three stars is because it was a very "mixed" experience. We had the five course tasting menu and paired three of the courses with the recommended glass of wine. The food was wonderful--elegantly presented and prepared. The wines were good and each complemented the course with which it was served. The service is what made the experience disappointing. We waiting an hour between one of the courses for out next course to be delivered. And, during this time, no one was coming by to check on us, refill our water or apologize for the delay. They seemed to have plenty of staff for the number of diners present, but I question how well trained they are or how well managed they are. We observed many other diners languishing at their tables, filling their own water glasses, etc. Unfortunately, my husband paid the bill while I was in the bathroom. I had made the reservations and the deposit and I'm fairly certain we were overcharged. The meals were to be 110Euro each and required a deposit of 33 E each. We were told that the three wine pairings were 60E each. We had a cocktail each and two bottles of sparkling water. By my reckoning, the bill should have been: 110 + 110 = 220 - 66 (deposit) = 154E (dinner) 60 + 60 = 120 (wine) 2 cocktails @ maybe 20E each = 40E And 2 bottles of water @ 10E each = 20E I would have expected a bill of $334 in this case. The credit card slip my husband handed me the next day was for 519E. Sadly, he did not retain the itemized receipt. I would love to know where the extra charges came from! In summary, great food, bad service, and was overcharged. Will not be returning on future trips.

One of the best dining experiences on the whole island! Excellent ambiance and fine cuisine. Handcrafted cocktails and attentive service. The hotel rooms are lovely. Bastian is a high end Chef but down to earth in his attitude! Lovely! We will be back!

We had an incredible dinner. The setting was fantastic. However, during our main course, someone at the next table lit up a cigarette. It was like eating a beautiful piece of Mahi Mahi dipped in an ashtray. Which restaurant today allows smoking. If you want to a first class restaurant this is not the path. It time to wake up and come into the 21st century!

We ate dinner here and it was the highlight of our trip! Just walking in takes your breath away- but it’s the food that is insanely beautiful and so good! Do the 5 or 7 course tasting menu and just get surprised by the works of art they bring to the table!

They best of our vacation, we booked for the hotel & the restaurant during our Caribbean holiday, everything was absolutely PERFECT. Charming and romantic Guest House, 2 Michelin stars level restaurant, and wonderful staff, the service and attention to details is impressive. Thank you again to Florian and his team we will be back for our next visits.

Restaurant only for dinner (don’t waste your $$) The atmosphere is lovely and the hotel looks cute, but did not stay there. Wanted something near this area, so though we would try. Most of the staff was very nice, but we did feel a bit of “forced consumption” on drinks. The meal is a gastronomic menu only. We had the small one of 5 course + a 3 wine pairing and it was 600 euro, about the price of a good 2 star Michelin restaurant in Europe. The quality is nowhere near a star and is over thought and trying too hard, clearly delusions of grandeur. They need to rethink things and decide where they are going. Some of the dishes were ok, the pre-dessert and the dessert were delicious and made us think the chef specialized in pastry. Otherwise, there were sauces that were a bit over-complicated and over-buttered vegetables. A small steak was tough and rubbery. Fish course was okay, but dry. Even the bread was stale and leftover from breakfast. The wine pairing was not particularly impressive either. I hate to give this feedback, but they really need to know and I wish I had saved my hundreds of dollars. Restaurants of this price and pomp (I.e. zero a la carte options) should be just below a star level and close to achieving it. Perhaps the good reviews on good are for the 39 euro lunch or the breakfast?

This is for the restaurant, not the hotel. Was the fourth or fifth time over the last years that we ate here, first time still being at the small original location on Pic Paradis. We are usually having the medium range (currently 5 courses) tasting menu - but unlikely we’ll be back again for the following reasons: 1.) cost-benefit ratio at now €150 isn’t there anymore, with three of the five courses having been uninspired and of rather cheap ingredients (2nd was a rather small piece of swordfish in a duette of sauces, 3rd was a pork filet on a roasted artichoke (yep, that was it), fourth was a cheese foam in a cup) 2.) Wait btw courses was way too long, all-in took >3hrs 3.) wait staff is nice, but partially not even aware what they are serving 4.) they added a compulsory 15% service charge, which is rather impertinent considering this is the French side. In summary, sad to see the place like this, but paying €400/$440 for just “ok” food simply doesn’t make sense (note this only included 4 glasses of wine at ~€15 each and not the whole pairing, which would have been another ~€100/person) - not only compared to other places on the island but also vs higher end restaurants in the US/Europe. PS: Maybe they overstretched themselves with the way bigger new location and the whole hotel on top, but lowering the bar on what you offer while at the same time raising prices and adding charges prob won’t cut it in the long run…

Updated review: After a mediocre first experience, the owner and chef was kind enough to reach out directly to make things right. We returned last night and had an exceptional experience. Incredible ambiance, delicious meal, and excellent service. We will definitely be going back on our next trip! We chalked our initial experience up to their recent move to a new location and new staff. Now that the team has settled in, La Villa Hibiscus is one not to miss! Original review: We were very disappointed with our meal tonight. We reserved a table months ago as a final celebration for our honeymoon. While the food was good, the service was horrible. Our server didn’t know what he was serving and regularly had to ask for help from other staff. Our wine pairings didn’t arrive with the courses, resulting in us waiting for the pairing to be served and the food not being experienced at the proper temperature. Once we completed the courses, no one came to see if we were interested in a cafe or post-dinner drink and we ultimately asked for the bill to take our cafe at home. We’ve experienced many incredible meals in Saint Martin and this experience was by far the worst given the exorbitant price tag for the extremely poor service received

Wow wow wow! Océan 82 is absolutely incredible! We found them walking down Grand case, and visited for lunch and were astounded by the delicate, and wonderfully prepared meals, they were incredibly tasty! At lunch we were one of the only people in the restaurant, and the service was quick, speedy and we were taken great care of, the restaurant sits overhanging the ocean with some incredible views as well, and the staff is so friendly. Because of the impeccable service, we decided to book again for dinner again on our trip and were wowed even more. It was surprising that Océan 82 had a lower rating than other locations on grand case, as we visited four others and they were by far our favorite! The portions are smaller but they are eloquent and superbly prepared, this was the only restaurant that also really catered to us with gluten free options, and is by far our favorite restaurant on the island! We will be heading back to Océan 82 on every trip back to the island! Try the perfect poached egg (it is wrapped in gold!!!)

The entire experience was amazing: the views, the food, the service and the atmosphere. Andy our server was fantastic, informative, attentive and always there when needed. This would be a go to anytime in the future.

expensive, but the overall dining experience was a great one and the staff in general seemed to actually like their jobs and were very accommodating and friendly (didn’t seem common the entire trip at other restaurants and activities). Marc (blue shirt 2nd picture) is a gem and wasn’t even our server, but made the night even more entertaining and memorable with his witty conversation and hospitality. the view you can’t beat whether daytime or night, and the vibe felt like everyone there also had a great time.

We were so happy we gave this place a try. Ocean 82 well surpassed our expectations. The view of course was wonderful. The staff were beyond courteous and attentive, even as the restaurant filled up. But best of all, the food was amazing and was well paced throughout the night. Delicious frog legs, lamb falling off the bone, perfectly cooked scallops and risotto, and amazing desserts were just some highlights. We left happily full. Thank you for a great night!

This restaurant was highly recommended by our Resort and maybe because they sang such high praises we felt it fell a little short. We found it extremely difficult to understand our servers. The sea bass was very good but there were just too many bones to thoroughly enjoy. We put our dinner on the credit card but bring cash if you want to leave gratuity because it is not allowed on the credit card! My husband liked his lobster bisque soup and he also liked his Lobster alfredo. It was good it just wasn't AMAZING, GREAT, FANTASTIC like we were led to believe.

We went on French Mother's Day and didn't realize it was going to be so busy everywhere. Luckily they fit us in, even though they probably should have turned us away. They were soooo busy. But, the cocktails were delicious, food was phenomenal, it was worth it to be a little show on service. Even so this team killed it. All smiles, super helpful, even when they were literally running around like the floor was on fire. We loved it. Want to go back when it's not so busy though! Their foie gras was one of my favorites on the island.

Amazing food and amazing staff. They went above and beyond to make me feel special on my birthday. I had the lobster, and my husband had the beef wellington, both were wicked good.

It was a busy evening and the place was very but we really wanted to try this restaurant and while we had to wait a few minutes, they found us lovely table. Despite the fact the place was really busy the staff were super friendly and seemed not to be bothered by the non-stop pace they were going at. The service was timely and the food was great. We had a variety of food offerings including Escargot, French Onion Soup, and Shrimps. Everything was very tasty and we would highly recommend this lovely restaurant with wonderful views of the ocean.

So good to be back at Ocean 82. Outstanding food and service in a perfect setting on the water. Our meals were excellent and the staff are all friendly and upbeat. So many places here suffered after Irma and Ocean 82 is one of maybe three restaurants on the waterfront that has reopened. We are so happy to see this beautiful restaurant doing well again.

This is a meal you will not forget. Incredible environment and staff. The food is Michelin Star quality. Had an incredible Beef Wellington and potato al gratin. My wife had the Filet Mignon which was fantastic. Make sure you make a reservation as this place is no secret. Sunset is incredible here so you'll want to make it well in advance and request a table by the water. Location is really great. The road it is on is filled with beach clubs, small boutique hotels, and local shopping. Very nice area that will give you a taste of the culture. Will be coming here every trip to Saint Martin and recomend you do too.

I find that the French side of St. Martin, specifically Grande Case has offers some of the finish food, ambience and service anywhere. The experience at Ocean 82 was exceptional. You are properly greeted, seated, and pampered from start to finish. I advise you make a reservation as by the time I left the restaurant they were packed. You can make your reservation via email and I asked for a table with a great view and if you check my photos you will see a spectacular sunset. The staff are very friendly, truly care that you have a fabulous experience, do not rush you, and check that everything is going well without be obtrusive. I could tell that everyone loved working here. I met one of the owners Roman who was great, his partner is the chef. He checked in a few times and was very active on the floor interacting with both customers and his employees. The food was spectacular as expected, prices are in Euros and I found them to be very fair for a fine dining experience. Prices were less than most fine dining restaurants in New York City and the service was hands down much better. There were four of us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The restaurant has a clean sophisticated look, the bathrooms are well appointed with cloth hand towels. We had a table with a view of the ocean and the wall was made of glass so we had a great view of the water and beach below. They have a great wine, liquor and even cigar selection. We started with a few appetizers which were all awesome. They were the lobster bisque soup, the escargot, the salad and crab cakes. For dinner we had the Dover Sole which was filleted at the table, the tuna entree and the sea scallop entree. For desert we had the soufflé which your waiter will ask you if you would like when you place your food order. It does not get much better than this and I highly recommend Ocean 82 for m AWESOME dining experience in the French side.

I’m a first time visitor/diner. I can say nothing more than other reviewers have said. The staff, food, and views are awesome. I’m from the Chicago, Illinois area where great food can be had at many places. Ocean 82 can stand with the best Chicago has to offer. Thanks to the excellent staff for a great dining experience for my lady’s birthday. I’ll certainly be dining here on my next visit to the island.

We've been coming to this restaurant for years and it never disappoints. The entire staff provides exceptional service, great cocktails and the food is perfectly prepared. The escargot in a pastry puff is the best I've had. The steaks and fish are always well executed and the views are beautiful. Oh, and the owner is awesome. See you soon.

This is for us the seafood heaven in St Marten. A wonderfully inventive and surprising menu. Superbly fresh produce. Fish and crustaceans and other specialties prepared to perfection. A beautiful location right at the ocean of Grand Case with a spectacular terrace just above the sea. More picturesque Caribbean is hardly possible. An excellent wine list and a very friendly service make you feel at home instantly. But, above all it is the simply sublime food which makes smiling faces all around . Reservations are recommended. Clearly one of the best restaurants in the island of St Marten! A must visit!

Tucked away in the French side of town Oceans 82 is a great dinner spot to enjoy the water view as well as eat some scrumptious French food. The staff is extremely attentive and the food is fresh and flavorful. Reservations are highly recommended. All the dishes we tried were spot on . The drinks menu is exhaustive and they even have special rum fo sale.

Awesome French restaurant in Grand Case, St. Martin. Located on the waterfront with open air seating. Huge menu, very attentive service phenomenal food. I had the Caribbean fish pot which was delicious. Chocolate lava cake was the best I've had in a long time anywhere.

Our lunch experience at Ocean 82 was outstanding! The food's quality, coupled with the breathtaking beach view, truly impressed us. The service was amazing, and the beachside seating added to the remarkable experience. We highly recommend Ocean 82 to everyone—truly a memorable dining destination.

One of the best places to eat on the island. Make sure you book, espcially if you want to start ealry and watch the sunset. The service is high end but realxed and the food has no bad choices. Leave room for desert, the souffle was amazing, but the seafood mains are hard to choose between but a dover sole and brazino in salt are great winners. Their wine list matches the food and their in house rum at the end of your meal is worth trying.
