The food was excellent. We had a table for 5 and everyone enjoyed their meal. I have been there a few times and the french onion soup and duck are always a hit. The specials were also enjoyed. Save room for dessert because its not to be missed. The service is always fantastic and its one of the restaurants I always recommend to friends when visiting.

AMAZING beach club and restaurant in Cupecoy on Mullet Bay. Upscale, you do have to pay for comfy beach lounges but its all worth it. The food is more reasonable than some of the SXM beach clubs to it evened out! Will return next winter. Make a res in advance for beach chairs and for the restaurant.
