What's the over/under for days in business. Terrible location..... kiss of death.

What exceptions? I didn't see any.

Based on their Facebook page, it appears it will be taking over the current locationof the We Lounge on the second floor of La Terrasse in Maho.

There were other issues with the park/fly/stay as well. Our reservation was screwed up & I had to pay extra for our parking. We would have been better off paying a bit more for EB Hotel. Good restaurant, excellent bar. Lightning shuttle. Never wait more than 20 min. In the end it would have been cheaper. And it is only a couple of years old. Just a better experience. Should have not thought with my wallet. LOL

There are exceptions for outdoor cafés and bar terraces. Expect many businesses to interpret those exceptions loosely.

Always wanted to try L'Atelier but we also visit in August
I now have a great place to buy tomahawk chops as well as A5 wagyu, so now not as excited to pay the high mark up for quality beef

Over the last three years, only remember Le Piment being closed in August as well as Maison Mere when they were in transition

Grand Case only 10 minute away

Ti Palm isn't getting any reviews but the menu looks good, entrance located at the side of Palm Court hotel

Bona Mama offers a great take away 3 course meal as well a good pizza, very inexpensive, in the strip of stores near Yellow Sub

In cul de sac in the old Sole e Luna location, La Villa Hibiscus offers a reasonably price five course prix fixe for starters

And this was at Kiawah Island Beachwalker Beach today.

There are some other Mediterranean restaurants in the Simpson Bay area. La Pasha, Beirut and Little Jerusalem. All very similar to greek cuisine. Vesna only has a Greek special on Saturdays which we've had before. Just OK in my book as I grew up on Lebanese and Greek food and am spoiled.

You can find a lot of helpful info just by following the Q Roo Mexico travel forums like those on TripAdvisor.

Will be a welcome addition as always looking for something different especially when into third week of gastronomy
Hopefully it is not Americanized

Vesna Taverna probably only other option for Greek food

J'adore, aussi!! Finallement. It now remains to be seen how well it's enforced.

Saw that episode. Might be done watching it. If I was on that charter any witnessed all that bickering of the crew I'd want off.

Just going to resurrect this thread for a while....

I watched an episode of this show where they sailed across to Anguilla. They anchored in Crocus Bay and a company (Liquid Glow) brought out lighted, transparent kayaks for the guests to use at night. It was quite something to see. The kayaks lit the water beneath them and they could see fish, turtles and other nocturnal sea creatures.

Looks like a very fun thing to do. Just wondering if anyone on this site has done it.

Hmmm. Brings back shades of that movie that when they drained the pool it was a Baby Ruth instead of a tu*d.

I have always liked Pineapple Pete. Good food, good service. Sounds like you had a good gambling trip for both of you.

The trip to immigration in Miami is almost a mile, according to the gal who helped with my wheelchair this trip. I can walk, but not a mile, and THEN wait in line for however long.

I hope you complain to corporate about that shuttle wait. That would drive me absolutely CRAZY. One of the many things I love about The Parking Spot (formerly Park N Fly), is that the shuttle is always fast. I think in June we waited maybe 5 minutes for it.

Day 7 – Friday – Bad tummy today. Not sure of reason. Lunch @ D’s again. Decided to try Pineapple Pete for Dinner. Great music. Have not been there for years. Stuffed shrimp for me w/rice & peas. Side salad. Fish & chips for Cindy. Food was good and served quicker than I remember. Back to Hollywood. Cindy did it again. Turned $60 into $180. I did OK and made $250. Lots of fun. Back to the room.

Day 8 – Saturday - Homeward Bound. Packed & out the door @ 10. Express check out & key drop. Gassed up the car & met Lesley at the airport. No issues other than the airport does have a food problem. Too few places to eat and SLOW. People were waiting an hour for Wendy’s. Plane left early & landed in MIA early. Took longer to get to immigration than it did to get passport checked. One hour wait for Embassy Suites shuttle. Arrived home at 11 p.m. Another great trip.

Official story was an emergency cleaning. We got a note hung on our door Friday afternoon. Maintenance workers kept talking about the pumps. Who knows? Still inconvenient.

Je adore

It's on the second floor of LaTerrace. corner overlooking Casino. It has been many restaurants and bars over the years, including Fig.

I was thinking below the oid Fig restaurant next to Casino Royal.

Looks like it's located in the Royal Islander building on Maho strip. Good news,

We just got back a few weeks ago and are looking for a return trip. We are thinking of booking a last-minute trip in August a few days before leaving so long as the weather is fine. I have heard because of hurricanes August is a good time for residents and businesses to vacation. I know the owner of l’atelier in OV is closed in August. How is the village at orient during this time?

Guess I didn't need to worry at all. The beaches back home in RI are puny in comparison.

Looking forward to this.
