TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin La Patrona last night--now with pictures

We went to LaPatrona last night and enjoyed it very much. The food was good. The ambiance is very nice, with a view of the harbor there. Last night there was a man singing, at a lovely LOW volume. They had a pretty decent selection of wines by the bottle for $16 or $18, can't remember which. There was a complmentary tostata with beans. I had the chicken Tampico


and Eric had the red enchiladas.


Both were good, although I thought my chicken could have benefitted from a white sauce, although perhaps they run light on sauce in general there. Eric cleaned his plate, so he must have thought his was pretty good.



We had the flaming coffee



and the bananas flambe


The young gentleman who was doing the 'flaming' was very nice

, but seemed kind of inexperienced.

They have some seating out by the side, with some gas firepits, which were nice.



I would go back, although I don't think I would pay for the flaming coffee again.

Afterward Eric went to check out the sports bar and was disappointed. Inside there was a bar with some seating and maybe 4 or 5 tables, outside about the same amount and 4 or 5 TVs. He said it was very small.
