Looks like it's located in the Royal Islander building on Maho strip. Good news,

I was thinking below the oid Fig restaurant next to Casino Royal.

It's on the second floor of LaTerrace. corner overlooking Casino. It has been many restaurants and bars over the years, including Fig.

Will be a welcome addition as always looking for something different especially when into third week of gastronomy
Hopefully it is not Americanized

Vesna Taverna probably only other option for Greek food

There are some other Mediterranean restaurants in the Simpson Bay area. La Pasha, Beirut and Little Jerusalem. All very similar to greek cuisine. Vesna only has a Greek special on Saturdays which we've had before. Just OK in my book as I grew up on Lebanese and Greek food and am spoiled.

Based on their Facebook page, it appears it will be taking over the current locationof the We Lounge on the second floor of La Terrasse in Maho.

What's the over/under for days in business. Terrible location..... kiss of death.

A year or less.

It actually isn't really a terrible location. Parking is not avail anywhere in that area except just across the street, the same as it for people going to any restaurant in the area. My guess is that the restaurants that were there in the past just couldn't deliver good food at a decent price. If they had, they would still be there.

Sammy--agreed, there is basically no parking for anything in Maho, except for parking garages. I have to assume that the rent is outrageous in that area though.

Could just use the Casino valet service like we use to go to ROMA and other restaurants. We do a little gambling before and after dinner. Slip him 5 and he's happy.

Unless you arrive at the casino prior to when they do valet parking. We encountered that in March.

They usually start the service at 7 which works for use as we usually make our reservations for after 7.

I think we were there at 5:00. I just parked across the street in the garage.

That is convenient too.

Parking on Maho is easy and not very expensive in the garage. Valet available at the casino and at La Rosa, at least last time we were there.

Parking has only been an issue to us in town and in Grand Case over all our trips.

LaRosa still has Valet parking. Used it this last May.

I wasn't sure if normal or just during the construction they were dealing with in January.
