That brings back memories of my first time on the Island with my first wife in 1988 or so as well. Eating at La Vie en Rose was one of the highlights of that trip. We stayed on the Dutch side but ate on the French side a lot.

Did not return for 20 or so years, and then returned with my 2nd wife, and we went once a year for about 10 years, our last trip in 2016. And I return in 10 days with a woman who has never been anywhere in the Caribbean.
