Not familiar with the others, but I personally would not recommend Emilio's. I expected food somewhat comparable to Temptation, but I was disappointed. It wasn't BAD, just I expected high end cuisine, and it was not that, to me. The location, especially in the main room, is lovely. Our service was very lacking, but I put that down to being seated next to two large tables, which monopolized the attention of the servers. I do not expect to go back. However, if you have previously liked the restaurants run by the Watheys, then you might like it.

Louise,
We haven't been on island since April 2017 (thanks to that b itch Irma....) but that trip we went to Melange adjacent to the Princess Casino and had a very nice evening. I thought the service was excellent for our party of six. You can order individually from the a la carte menu or you can order from their table service grill (there's a name for it which escapes me at the time...) and I believe the table grill may have been all you can eat but honestly, not too sure about that now since it's been a while. Anyhow, we had a great time - food was good and libations were strong. The company was awesome!

Louise--Huh, don't know about steel drum bands or Latin night. That certainly doesn't equate with fine dining either, so perhaps I was just looking for the wrong thing. Their prices are very much in line with fine dining though.

Should i delete it?

OK, didn't know that. By all means, try it if you want. I won't be back, but everyone likes different things.

If you're talking about Emilio's, from Simpson Bay, go to the roundabout by Mark's and continue going 'straight' through the roundabout. Emilio's (and Rainforest Adventure) is about a half mile up on the left. BIG parking lot.

I don't think Sarafina's has opened yet. We looked a week ago and they were closed then, and no updates to their FB paje. Believe me, I'm waiting to get the first decent (IMHO) loaf of bread since Irma!
