TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Some photos Christmas Day Orient Beach

Lunch at Aloha beach bar, foie gras to start followed by special blue lobster and scallops from France and veal Milanese.

Dessert was a bread pudding with Grand Marnier ice cream.

First time I have had “blue” lobster and it was incredible, not sure you’re allowed to say the best here but the best I have had!

Beach was packed and since 6 cruises in port, I think many cruisers assumed they could just grab lunch, wasn’t easy as most places totally booked.

Water cut was an issue but did not affect having a great day and lunch, also some kittens in backyard of rental.

Looks delicious. I didn't know that there were a lot of blue lobsters around to put it on a menu. Is there a noticeable taste difference?

I bet the only taste difference would come from the way it was prepared by the chef. Same with Blue Ling Cod that the flesh turns white when cooked. Tastes the same if prepared the same.

Not sure about difference since not a big Maine lobster eater but it was incredibly sweet and the butter sauce was great with strong lemon flavors.

Food looks and sounds awesome! But I love the kittens even more!!😸

Thanks for the photos. It does look crowded but orient beach is great at any capacity.
