Saturday drinks and light bite at SMYC midday. Rugby game between New Zealand and South Africa on TVs so there was a lively crowd.

Enjoyable dinner at JAX steakhouse in Maho. Ambience is upscale Steakhouse with lots of wood and etched glass. Super nice and comfortable inside. All the waiters were hustling all helping each other. Quite busy there.

The 6oz filet mignon was very good as was the accompanying puréed potatoes and veggies on side. I order the mushroom gravy. Sauces available on side are $3. A delicious demi glaze smeared on the plate was so delicious I didn’t need the mushroom gravy .

David ordered the skirt steak and Mike the 12 oz Prime Cut NY strip with Parmesan herb fries. We all agreed service and food were well worth the price. Not a cheap meal but worth it in our opinion. The crab cake appetizer at $32 which was mostly filler with shreds of crab was not good. Sorry we had ordered them. Two to an order .
.
We moved outside to finish our dining experience with after dinner drinks. Nice view of all Maho village which was very active as you might expect for a Saturday night.

No service or gratuity added to check.

Rain, Rain go away, come back some other day. Weather has been terrible for 3 days. Little to no sun. Heavy surf and big down-pours day and night. The roads are flooded once again in Beacon Hill area. As I write this (Sunday)it’s another heavy surf, cloudy with rain on and off today. Fog is rolling in.[b][/b]

I like Jax tip policy.

Glad to hear Jax is still meeting or exceeding expectations. I had one of the best meals of my last trip there and am looking forward to going there again soon. Thank you for the daily reporting, and sorry the weather isn't cooperating. I had the same experience last November - several days of continuous rain.

That rain is going to green up the island. 👍
