I have not been to Amore so I cannot comment but last year Astra was ok, this year it was very lacking in service and food. I would not recommend Astra and I doubt I will return. Happy birthday.
We took my local friend to Chesterfield's for his birthday in March. They did a really nice job; the food was very good and very reasonable. I know it is not in your area but I was very pleased with it.

Happy Birthday Scuba! Went to Astra with friends last November and everybody was underwhelmed with their meals. Service was OK but food was just a little bit less than “just OK”. Probably won’t go back any time soon.

Happy a happy birthday, Scuba! As well as you know the island, I’d suggest you opt for one of the ‘sure thing’ places for a special evening. As Kim suggested, Le Cigale, many of the GC options or, closer to where you stay, LeMoulin Fou or possibly Sublime or make a sunset reservation for the new place everyone’s raving about near Orange Grove. Sorry, the name escapes me at the moment. Bamboo maybe? Sounds like both Astra and Amore might or might not be the best choices for a special occasion.
Respectfully,

Yes - the Bamboo House for sure, and Scuba, you might take a taxi to GC. We used that mode for a trip to P’berg last trip and we’re quite surprised at how reasonable and easy the driver made it..

Scuba--you might check out this thread, which has some mentions of Amore. LinkFor a special occasion, I'd be more likely to choose someplace I have liked before, like Moulin Fou or Sublime, or a place that gets mostly excellent reviews, like Bamboo House.

Same owner as Avantika? Sadly, it seems not all of their restaurants are managed the same.
