We've not had decent food there either. The flies are everywhere post Irma.

Hate to say it, Rosemary, but that’s probably a good move on your part.
In all our SXM years and trips, and all our meals over all those years and trips, I can count on one hand the number of bad meals I’ve had on Island, and sadly, this place provided one of them. When it originally opened it was a good choice, particularly for coffee and pastry in the courtyard, but it changed hands or so I was told, and on our only return after that it was not a pleasant experience.
Respectfully,

A very easy drive from where you’re staying, if you haven’t already done so, please try LeMoulin Fou in what’s left of the Maho area. You might get lucky and find parking up there behind the top tier of restaurants where La Rosa and LMF are located but that’s IF you’re very lucky. We generally park in the carpark under the Maho Market. This is perhaps one of our favorite places over the past couple of years.

I don't know if they are open, but we usually go to Zee Best in Simpson Bay and each of us ( husband and wife) get two pastries and unlimited coffee for $15 including the 15% service charge.

Le Moulin Fou is certainly on our favorites list, one of the best steaks on island as well. Cheers!
I prefer the Isle seat

Sadly, our last experience there was very different from sintmaarten's but I hope it has improved. Funny though, we had the pizzas and thought them to be absolutely terrible.
And to add to my other post to RonDon, do try Sale and Pepe in Simpson Bay. We've only been there twice but both times it was excellent. Things may have changed post-Irma, but I would recommend you make a reservation there to be assured seating. It's very popular and very good.

Well, the concept of 'boycott' in this situation seems kind of odd, but several people have reported less than satisfactory experiences, going way back before the hurricane.
