Hi, Ed,

We generally go at the tail end of the 'high season' and even on Easter Sunday, we saw many male diners - visitors and islanders alike - dressed in nicer dress shorts but I will say, on that day - the majority of females, ourselves included, were more dressed up but I think that was personal choice, as opposed to anything dictated by the holiday or the venue as there were others dressed more casually, too.

That's one of the many really great things about SXM - or so it seems to me. Almost anything within reason is acceptable.

Would we ever go to dinner in jean type shorts and tee shirts? - only at the lolos, Cheris or a Pineapple Pete type place maybe but I wouldn't hesitate to wear a pair of nice shorts or capris with a nice top almost anywhere short of the Bajatzu, LeMoulin Fou, Mario Bistro. LaSamana, Le Sental, La Cigale, Antoines type places, all of which, IMHO, demand a more respectful attire.
