Part Two
Lunches -
Infinity Restaurant – Located in the main building of the Oyster Bay Beach Resort. Very relaxing and beautiful setting.http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2315_zps19452209.jpg We enjoyed a long lunch courtesy of our Time Share Sales person, Frances. Betty and I shared a Chicken Caesar Salad and a Ham and Cheese Croissant.
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2316_zpsf6aaa5ea.jpg Normally that's more than we eat for lunch, but Frances was busy with paperwork and so we just kept eating. We, of course, could not pass up a Creme Brulee.
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2317_zps1e1a1f7f.jpg The whole meal was very good, although the Caesar dressing was a little too vinegary. Service charge is added to you bill.
Beau Beau's – Our first visit there this trip was on Tuesday. Tuesday is Guavaberry Ribs Special Day. Betty put the Guavaberry Ribs ($14.95)in the OMG category.
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2321_zpsa7fbac92.jpg They're not on the menu, nor always available, but you should make an effort to try them. And if you ask the waiter, they might be able to make them up for you. They were created by Beau Beau's new Chef, Lewis.
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2322_zpsd430c83c.jpg Our waiter, Rique, even provided a finger wash, although after licking our fingers, there wasn't much to wash.http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2360_zpsfa90dbec.jpg
On another visit we had another of our favorites, Caesar Salad with grilled chicken($13.95). Really good, with a much better Caesar dressing than Infinity.
A nice setting for a meal, especially when there's no seaweed.

Captain Olivers - To be honest this is the first time I've actually eaten lunch at Captain Olivers restaurant. Earlier this fall, Philippe, General Manager ,
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2374_zps2b89d54f.jpg changed the lunch menu. Among the new selections were a Chicken Burger
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2375_zps60b4c4f2.jpg ($12.95) and a white Fish Burger, ($14.95).
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2376_zps7c616ad3.jpg Both came with fries and a small slaw serving . Other items included Creole Chicken Quesadillas, Club Sandwich, Capt Oliver Omelet, Vegetarian Sandwich.
It's a really nice place for lunch. Nice breeze, activity of the marina. Sandwiches were good. No service charge is added to bill and you can charge to credit card.
Mark's Place – In the shopping center next to Grand Marche. A long time favorite that gives you way too much food. This meal we were joined by our dear friend Barbara. I had made several fused glass plates with the “Be The Change” logo that I wanted to present to her in honor of her daughter, Erica, and for her to pass on to the other ladies who run that organization.
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2330_zpsc675569d.jpg Barbara, who is well known at Mark's had the Seafood salad.
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2328_zps71d1a867.jpg Betty had the Chicken sandwich.
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2329_zps2a074eda.jpg And I had the Pan Fried Grouper.
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2331_zpsb1d2fe4c.jpg Mr Busby's – One lunch Betty had the BLT
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2342_zps2f687f06.jpg which is $10.50. I had a Grilled Cheese and Ham Sandwich
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2343_zps0368f433.jpg . It's $8.50. There is no service charge at Mr Busby's and no credit cards.
Several lunches were left overs and frig clean-out meals.
Dinners -
Dinghy Dock – We had dinner here a couple times. Our first night we stopped for their rib plate. ($14.)
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2345_zps4f5671cf.jpg Still tasty.. The second visit during the “curfew” ,we had Fish and Chips ($15.00)
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2340_zps2b475af8.jpg As we were leaving OBBR we encountered a young couple looking for a fun place for dinner. We invited them to join us at Dinghy Dock. Since choices were limited by “the curfew”, they came along. Some of you may recognize Khanh and his wife of Khanh Sports in East Hampton. (

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2349_zps21d43b25.jpg Both times we were served by the ever efficient, always moving, and smiling, Jacquline.
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2350_zps238abcfd.jpg There's live music on Sunday evening. No service charge, Cash is appreciated, especially for tipping.
Buccaneer Beach Bar - We tend to go certain places for certain meals. At BBB we order their Cheese Burger with two sodas.($16.) It's big, juicy, with onions slices, lettuce, tomato and comes with fries.
No service charge and they do take “plastic”.
Island Pizza – Attached to the outside of Mr Busby's, Island Pizza, servers thin crust pizza with standard toppings. A cheese pizza is $13.50. After placing your order, you have to go to the bar in Mr Busby's and pay, then return outside and wait for you order to be done. It's pretty good pizza, especially if you like thin crust.
The Palms – A favorite of mine because I love Greg's Lasagna. Once again, he was out, so we went with favorite #2, The Drunken Ribs.
Piazza Pascal – No visit should be without a meal with Donna and Pascal's at their Piazza Pascal in the center of Grand Case. They just celebrated their 5th anniversary in business. One of the specials of the night was a Beet Salad w/ Goat Cheese which I enjoyed along with their Brushetta app.
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2354_zps60ecbaae.jpg We dined that night with good friends Cyndi and John, Owners of Tijon in Grand Case and La Jolla.
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2356_zps178f0420.jpg http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2358_zpsc4a7fb00.jpg Pineapple Pete's PP's is another favorite. Not so much for the entree but for the Creme Brulee. This trip we split a Fish and Chips dinner,
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2363_zps000d3a10.jpg $16.95 and a Creme Brulee. The dark rum drizzle adds so much to the great taste.
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2364_zps0ecf7a8b.jpg SMYC(St Maarten Yacht Club) – One of our favorite meals is Happy Hour at SMYC. Their Bar Bites during HH are 3 for $15.. Their HH appetizers are 3 for $25. Any two can make a nice meal for us. Our favorite are the Grouper Fingers
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2377_zps32afd105.jpg and their small Caesar salad. Here's our favorite waitress, Jennifer with our Grouper Fingers.
http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc2/sxmnorm/SXM%20Nov%202014/IMGP2413_zpsfadab082.jpg Jennifer is from England and we love her British accent. Please say hello for us if you visit.
