We were in Orient Village for dinner several times in late November. La Piment, Le Telegraphe and L’Atelier (twice) were all comfortably separated for small groups. We also went early (6pm) so we could pretty much pick our table which I was always upwind and on the edge. When we were there between the 6-7pm hour most of the restaurants were only at 25% capacity or less. Some of the restaurants had no patrons. The last evening we were there was Thanksgiving when we had dinner at L’Atelier a little later (6:30pm) and we were finishing up around 8:30pm. That was the first night that most of the restaurants were probably 50% full or better. I don’t know whether to attribute the bigger crowd that day to more people being on the island or the slightly later time.

My recommendation is the earlier you go the better. You’ll be able to pick your table and have fewer other patrons around you.
