The quality of the food at Calmos is nowhere near Dreams or even Kakao. I enjoy Calmos mostly for a sunset view.
My suggestion would be Ocean 82. It's on the water, high end French, if that's what you are looking for. Not casual.

Have you been to Palm Beach recently? We haven't been there for a while and people have been saying that their quality has gone down. When you've only got a short time on island, it's hard to go someplace where the recent reviews have not been that good..

When you've only got a short time on island, it's hard to go someplace where the recent reviews have not been that good.. Haven't been to Palm Beach since late January but the food and service was outstanding and on par with most of the better restaurants in Grand Case. We've been going to SXM since 93 and food is my passion so I'm comfortable with my assessment of Palm Beach unless something has changed recently. I'll certainly let you know January 12th as that is my wife's birthday and we always celebrate it at Palm Beach.

For a lovely lunch in Grand Case, my vote also goes to Rainbow. Calmos is nice, but food and beach space at Rainbow are better. They have a small private lot to park, but you have to get lucky. Chairs are complimentary if you are eating and drinking there. I was amazed at the quality of the food, beef was from South America....yum! Delicious filet, with cristofene au gratin. I've since gotten the recipe and made this at home. Nice islandy alternative to potatoes. Nice view, easy water and access.

GaKaye said: Looks like a great menu! Do the beach chairs have pads? And that's just the daily specials board! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" /> The chairs aren't the type with big fluffy cushions. That's fine with me, as if there's been a shower, they are wet...or the previous occupants have left them soaked. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> They are adequately comfy (I bring extra towels) and have an attached sunshade over your head.

I couldn't help notice that they had the 1 euro equals $1 on their sign. Now that the Euro is down, are most of the restaurants accepting $1 equals 1 Euro?
