I for one feel it's necessary to let us know which restaurants are ripping us off thinking we are stupid americans.

Like GaKay, we too loved Auberge but have not returned due to there deceptive practices. There are too many great and honest places to eat in SXM, especially Grand Case.

Once at a restaurant in P'Burg the waitress followed us out to complain we hadn't "tipped' enough, that it didn't even cover the mandatory 15% service charge. We stated that the service given by her didn't warrant much of a tip and if she wanted a bigger tip to act better toward patrons. Besides, we didn't think the Dutch places had a mandatory "service charge" . We never returned to that place either.
