What Whale Tail said. Jax is very good and would make for a good "special occasion" experience.
The Greenhouse has a prime rib special but I have never had it but a lot of people seem to like it.

I am pretty sure they indicate they use CAB (certified angus beef) and if so, they should be good. I just checked their menu and it does indicate they use Certified Angus Beef.

Tim--I think Jax gives good value for the money. If you have unlimited money, there is also Bovin. I wonder whether they are actually busy at Bovin, considering the cost there.

I found JAX to be on-par with the better steak places in the US and the prices inline as well. The 8 oz. filet mignon (with sides and salad) at The Pine Club is $43. If JAX current menu price of $54 (with 2 sides but no salad) is still correct, it is not at all out of line. This is not like dining at Outback or a mid-range chain steakhouse.

I wish I could find a way to have this forum resize my images!!! The other forums I post on all let me upload my bigger images and then display them to size in the post. Those pics are just too big But the pot is actually a large one, that just shows how big that steak really is! I'm getting hungry just looking at the picture, but the sous-vide has at least one more hour to go. Nonetheless I'm keeping tally of all the steak place recommendations for when I want a nice night out! Addendum - I found that wordpress stores several formats, so I edited my post and used some smaller images.

I'm not sure if you guys know this, but Pierri from Pineapple Pete's has a great steak! Our friends loved it!!! AND it's half the price of the other places mentioned!! Not that there's anything wrong with those places, they are all good!!
Sand Gravity, got to love it!

Three best steaks I have had on island would be at: The Palms, Hidden Forest Cafe(a few years ago, pre Irma), and at Moulin Fou. All were Filet's, most every Rib Eye I have had or seen on island is near the thickness of lunch meat.
I prefer the Isle seat

One of the best steaks I have had on island was at Pineapple Pete's. Could you hear yourself think while enjoying it?

Actually I could. Noise has never been a problem for me there as I understand it is a lively place. Probably had nice music playing in the background.
I don't like a lot of noise at a fine dining place. But like a lively vibe at a casual place.

Right!! A lot of people wouldn't think of "PP" for a steak. But our friends said it was one of the best steaks he's had on the island. He's a steak guy!!! Yes, love the music vibe and you can hear yourself while enjoying your company and your meal! I'm a big fan of Pierre! From the very first time I called him( 20 plus years ago!) from the states to make a reservation! That he honored with open arms!! Some people have mixed feelings about "PP", but we NEVER had a bad meal there!! He's a really good person!

I read this thread earlier today. Then I got a fantastic T-Bone from the freezer and put it into my sous-vide cooker for tonight's dinner. It is hard to beat the quality and price from Carrefour's butcher section! The ambience of a fine dining establishment is missing on board, but I think I'll make do here in Grand Case tonight I'll let a bottle of red breathe and finish the steak on the BBQ with a bit of pepper sauce and some find small potatoes. Life on board a sailboat sure is tough, just like camping Here's my second yachtie insider tip in just a few minutes. When provisioning and getting our monthly steak order, we go to The Butcher Shop in the dodgy industrial plaza just south of ACE. Really high quality beef at good prices. Order ahead of time at getbutchershop.com and they'll deliver to any dock you wish for $10. While they have a huge variety of cuts, I think the sweet spot for value is the 12 oz New York Strips at $10 each. We also always buy the 8 oz Bush Brothers burger patties as well. Yum.

The image is from Zanshin, and I have a vacuum sealer on board. You use a chamber vac or the kind that sucks air? My chamber vac weighs about 80 lbs and not too portable.
