Really surprised at mixed reviews for Ocean 82, because I think they are one of the best on island. If it's not limited to french side, could recommend Skipjacks for most anything in the fish line, or Pineapple Pete has a large menu, but an awesome lobster thermidore. Antoine's in P'burg supposedly also has a great lobster thermidore, although I haven't personally eaten there.

I'm really surprised, but everyone's taste is different.
Where would YOU recommend to the original poster?

We just got back 2 weeks ago & loved Ocean 82. Also, Sol e Luna was fantastic, as is Bistrot Caraibes. The last two are not necessarily seafood restaurants, but they do have seafood on the menu & that was what we chose each time!!

Pineapple Pete's lobster thermidor is excellent too.

We had a really good dinner our first time at Ocean82. However, the 2nd time we were there, with a reservation for 4 people, a BUSLOAD of people came in for dinner and promptly drowned out any chance we could have of conversation. We were in GC another night that week and another bus was dropping off a huge group there for dinner. If we make reservations in the future there, I will specifically ask if they have a large group reservation there that night. They may have some arrangement with one of the resorts in the area that books large parties.

The restaurant was totally full the night we went, but our experience at laVilla in December was totally missable--very average food and service was very slow. Everyone's experiences are different.

Barbara,
I believe Bluefin is at the Starz Casino complex. We didn't eat there - you know how I feel about indoor restaurants - but I seem to recall seeing the sign on a window there as we drove by. So little time and so many great choices......
You gotta' come over that hill more, My Friend!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
Respectfully,
pat

Depends on if you are willing to travel, and how far. We like Skipjack's in Simpson Bay. We also like Pineapple Pete's in the Simpson Bay as they have good daily fish specials. We also liked Big Fish in the Oyster Bay area.
