In addition to LaPlaya, check out Bruno's other restaurants, Yellow Sub and Macaroon, on the village square, for breakfast and much more casual fare, like burgers and rotisserie chickens.

I can second the recommendation for Le Piment. We ate there twice in November; both times with large groups. They were very accommodating (gave each couple separate checks) and the food as always was superb.
That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante, that's all I want, La Vie Dansante (JB)

<img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />On our last stay in the end of november we ate at Le Piment, La Voile Blanche, Côté Plage and they were all good and on our to do list again next april !! We also did Thai Chi and it was ok but not a must-visit resto. We can not wait to try La Playa at night since it was so great for lunch ! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

We were there in mid November, he was finishing a brightly lit walkway from the parking lot. I have a photo, but not good at posting them. Check "Fabila's" trip report for the entrance photo.
Sand Gravity, got to love it!

Yes , that's the one ! It's well lighted at night with beautiful colored lights on the trees and on the walkway leading to the restaurant!

I'm not as well informed as most here. Over the years since we've been going to SXM, we've heard often about Bruno's restaurants, bungalows, and more, and comments are always favorable. We're very much looking forward to going to La Playa for dinner in April based on this post, so thank you!
This post describes his Orient Village interests; what else does he own? Others in Grand Case?

Bruno owns Dreams in Nettle Bay. The Yellow Sub, Macaroon and Le Petite Casino and LA Playa in Orient are owned by him and previously Le Cottage in Grand Case. Bruno is a great businessman and is always successful in everything he does. He also owns Paradise Bungalows and Villa Margot in Orient which many here have rented over the years.

The advantage of LaPlaya is the beach is much better. The disadvantage is that Dreams is much closer to the Dutch side...

We went to Little Italy tonight. My suggestion would be to stay away from it. We would have gone to La Playa, but it was closed, as was Le Piment (our usual go-to place). Service at Little Italy was disappointing, the food lacked flavor and, while not the restaurants fault, the uncontrolled children made for a less than relaxing dinner.

One of the advantages of tuning in to this board is that the information you get is current and within fair reason, accurate. Even though I am not a great fan of Italian (allergic to garlic) I appreciate the candid feedback from folks that have dined where we are considering eating. We have our usual favorites (Antoines, eager to see if there are any changes, Chesterfields, never been disappointed, Marks Place, locals choice can't be wrong!) but will try Bavarian and Mexican options this time if we can. Will be nice to start our vacation New Years Eve this year.

I don't know about Waikiki right now, but I hear that La Playa is open at night now, so obviously the beach area is much safer if the restaurants around are still open.
Enjoy! And do write a trip report upon your return!!
