I too hope that they get this fixed. The restaurants are some of my must visit while on the island. A nice break while shopping in Marigot. Rather than just closing all business, perhaps France can provide help in getting the businesses built the correct way. La Main a la Pate being one of my favorites, because years ago, the waiter sold me the t shirt off his back when they had run out of their supply to sell. I have since accumulate a selection of them. However, I have frequent most of the restaurants and shops.
