Glad you are enjoying yourself. We have sworn off the Boathouse for a while, as we had really bad service there, but maybe they have cleaned up their act. If you're looking for fish and/or seafood, make sure you try Lee's and especially Skipjacks. Skipjacks has really gotten their act together lately. Aloha has been really good for a long time.

Hmmmm. The Boathouse was never one of our usual haunts but after a hiatus of quite a few years due to a prior poor service experience along with a possible case of food poisoning for two in our group that last night we were there, perhaps it's time to give this place another try. Thank you all for the heads up. I hadn't realized it had changed hands and was under new ownership.
Respectfully,

On a previous trip to SXM we ate at the L'Isola and our experience was just the opposite. The service and the food were unacceptable; we will not dine there again - there are too many fine, outstanding restaurants in SXM.

Loterie Farm is a beautiful place and Julie has been a fantastic chef all the way back to Vince's Conga Cafe. Not sure I agree it is a 'hidden' gem, but it is a gem, for sure.

The best fish we had on the island on our last visit was the fish we bought from Skipjacks fish counter and took home and cooked. Outstanding grouper and mahi mahi.

Perhaps it's time to give the Boathouse a try. We thought they were a little overpriced for the reviews they had been getting. Aloha has been our favorite for lunch on Orient for a long time now. Fun, energetic staff, great food, nice ambience. What's not to like? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
