It is not surprising since it is owned by the two brothers who own and operate Bistrot Caraibes, which is just across the street. Both are really good restaurants.

Yes, Bistrot is one of our long time favorites and I do love Thibault and Amaury! The view at Ocean 82 is nice though.. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" />

I knew there were other owners there and had a mental block about who it is. Hadn't heard that about them purchasing another restaurant. Would be interested to hear which other restaurant they have purchased, if true.

We also loved Ocean 82. We had a table right on the water and the food and service were excellent!Some people here say that dining on the water is not that important since it is dark, but I still think it is very romantic. The sound of the waves lapping gently on the shore and the twinkling lights of Anguilla in the distance provides a lovely ambience for a super dining experience. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

For years, I never found any restaurant that was worth the extra coin to be on the water, which those restaurants are more expensive, for sure. Ocean 82 is the first one I have found to be worth it.

Carol_Hill said: I believe Sol E Luna is quite a bit more expensive also though. Yes it is but the difference is much smaller when comparing apples to apples. $230 for 2 cocktails, 2 appetizers, 2 main courses, 2 desserts and 1 bottle of wine at Sol & Luna, vs $140 for no cocktails, 1 shared appetizer, 2 main courses, 1 dessert and 1 bottle of wine at Ocean 82. Both deliver a great dining experience.

plequerre said: We shared a mahi-mahi tartar trilogy as appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. My SO had the roasted mahi-mahi with mango chutney and I had the fish & lobster pot with creamy lemongrass broth. Both were extremely flavorful. No dessert for me (I was full); she had the ginger creme brulee and it was perfect. I had that Seafood Pot with Lemongrass Broth as well, it was divine! Hands down, my favorite meal of our 2 week trip last month. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

There aren't a lot of the high end restaurants in GC that are open for lunch, so you might think about making a reservation. As far as a specific lunch menu, I don't know, never eaten lunch there. If not, you could always do maybe a soup and an appetizer or something.

I think they bought Le Tastevin. But I thought it was Pascal from Piazza Pascal?
