We had dinner at Pineapple Pete Sunday night and as usual, food was excellent and reasonably priced. Try their Lobster Thermidor if you haven't had it yet. It's awesome and $40 is a very reasonable price for a 1 1/2 pounder animal.
I wanted to give everyone a heads up as I didn't remember how they deal with service there. The check came with a "Tax 15%" line. Knowing that tax in SXM is not 15%, I asked our waitress if this was a tax or "service", she said it was for service which is shared between all waiting staff. She was very honest about it and didn't try to mislead us, but I asked another waiter and he gave me the same answer. Our waitress was so nice, I gave her a extra tip which she told me, will be for her only, not shared with her colleagues. So bottom line is, Pineapple Pete charges a 15% service fee, so there's no need to tip the personnel, unless you're very pleased with the service and want to show your special appreciation.
