Cynical can often be translated into factual with regard to any of these 'best of' whatever. And 'best of' is always in the eye of the beholder, and it depends on what their criteria are and what they want to focus on. To me, it looks like the author(s) of the list were going more for the setting, view, etc., than concentrating on the FOOD, per se. Which doesn't mean their list is wrong, just a much different list than what many other people would make. I would say that many or most of the restaurants that are widely considered the 'best' on SXM for FOOD are not on that list, possibly because they don't have a great view. Different perameters for determining 'best'. Such lists are fun reading and good for discussion though.
