I know what you are saying Louise. We went to Sal e Pepe three times this visit. I made the wrong choice for myself once, but hubby loved his. I have also spoken to Scarlet about a particular server that left much to be desired in his "service".
They do have one young man who is outstanding! Emmanuel. He is so personable, and spoke to us about having recently completed hospitality training that SXM has started. That is a great program.
There's another server who also works at Emilio's. Both restaurants have high expectations.
