May 2018 Trip Report part #4 - 06/14/2018 09:19 PM

Sunday 5/27
Husbands BIRTHDAY!
After spending the day sailing, getting WAY more sun than we wanted to (you’d think I’d remember that cloudy, sprinkly days on the water THERE IS STILL SUN!), it was off to Moulin Fou in Maho for our big dinner out. No longer do we have to only eat here on Tuesday’s due to the noise from Cheri’s. It’s bittersweet to remember that.

Dinner did not disappoint. Excellent filet mignons, his with scallops. Shared French onion soup and carpaccio. Pictures of the menu attached for those who like to know what they might order and prices to expect. Sorry if you must turn your head sideways! lol

I couldn’t figure out if it looked better with flash or without. You get both! 😉

Dessert was a pear tart and the waiters singing Happy Birthday, complete with sparklers!
The pictures do NOT do the taste of this thing justice. Even the plate décor tasted good!
Spun sugar and a crisp plantain. The sauce was divine!

Monday 5/28

Into town to pick up jewelry, and some repaired earrings. Lots of activity along the boardwalk. The fishermen were cleaning strawberry grouper….

Lunch at Pizza del Sol in Simpson Bay. Paper crisp crust and the cheese was excellent. The rest was just ‘meh’. They didn’t have artichokes. ☹

Back to chillin’ at the BSV. 20 new chairs and cushions around the pool.

They have had to replant all the flowers and trees in the garden, but things are coming back. They are lovingly watered in the early evening or early morning.

In our continuing quest for pizza to replace our favorite place that is probably never going to re-open, we stopped and took pictures of the menu at Pizza & Co. Later that evening we had delivery! YAY! So nice to just go to the gate for dinner and not have to get dressed and go out. I loved the toppings. If you give me artichokes, I am set. Quattro Sagioni is my favorite! But mixed up! And that is exactly how they make it.

Thanks Pat.

I need coffee by the water, food delivered, a steak to grill, and rum! Gosh I'm wishing we were back!

I had a spectacular dinner at Le Moulin Fou also. Love that they provided sparklers! I ate outside, which is a mistake if the sun is still out, as they flies just won't leave you alone. Looks as though you didn't have that problem.

Oh, after a day outside on the boat and too much sun we were craving the a/c inside!

When we got there it must've been early for most people...had the place to ourselves, in fact we felt quite guilty at the number of staff just for us...lol
However later, as we were having dessert the place filled up completely! I was happy to see that for them.

Yes, I was the only guest when I was there. However, when I went back later to pick up my leftovers, which they kindly offered to store in the refrigerator for me while I went to hear Bobby Barron around the corner, it was pretty full.

We had wanted to try that new little bar that was in Maho. How was it? Hole in the Wall or something like that? Was there smoking?
That's one thing I cannot tolerate unfortunately, if I'd like to continue breathing!

It's a cute little place, and the bartender is very nice.

Linda, was there smoking at the Hole in the Wall?

I don't remember being bothered by smoke, and I usually am, but I can't say whether or not it's banned.
