I don’t generally get caught up in The Who’s Who of great island eateries but…….. my understanding that Das (I think….) was the chef at one if the big two places that used to be by the Starz Casino. My understanding is he left and opened his own place at what used to be the Kissing Fish at the Summit. Irma did her damage there but not to give up on his dream, he reopened in a little out of the way spot in Simpson Bay just off the main drag. We dined there a few times and the food was always excellent and very reasonably priced even though the location left room for improvement. My understanding that his move to Maho was predicated by entering into a partnership arrangement with a couple of others of the island restaurant industry but I don’t think Jax was one mentioned to me.

And knowing how island gossip is so often wrong I probably shouldn’t have said all this so let me just end by saying each time we’ve dined in any of their locations we have NEVER been disappointed.
