Stopped at a place across from ferry to have a refreshing drink and discuss where we’d have. lunch. Hubby wanted BeCool again and I wanted a place in the middle of town or Oplongoir across from yacht club. Tropicana won. I dislike that Marina now that it is in ruins Lunch was light and forgettable. Perhaps since their chef left to open his own place Be Cool across the way, it,s not the same.
Really surprised to hear this about Tropicana, must have been an off day as always used to be outstanding. However, I do agree somewhat(but really (nitpicking), started to notice a few little things in 2017-18 and the portions they had cut down on in late 2019 when last there, plus they also lost their pastry chef who went back to France. Also there was a really irritating waitress called Audrey who was always trying to rush you to order.Must have eaten there about 50 times and its very rare to experience a bad meal.
Regardless, if you can be more specific what was "light" you had to eat and therefore "forgettable", could understand more, but all our tastes are different and your post was interesting to me as can't remember when anyone actually said a negative thing about them, so perhaps times have changed? Be Kool really is excellent, albeit I'm not sure if you are strictly correct in saying that the Chef left two years ago as Emanuel is the Chef at Tropicana and has been there for at least 8 years(that I know of) and he is the one providing all the great food. Gilles, the Chef, was the Chef/Owner of Tropicana but this was some time ago and yes he opened about two plus years ago at Be Kool as we happened to be strolling there and it was his second night. Miss both restaurants. Also, yes, Marigot harbor area has unfortunately gone way down hill. Did you also walk around a bit and were there shops open?
