TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Bovin Steak House

We had the most delightful dinner at a restaurant at Simpson Bay Resort called Bovin. The space itself is very pleasant, sophisticated too without being pretentious. Service was top notch. Our waiter Isiah was great!!

We had really not heard very much about the place and we really had no great expectations. Boy, were we wrong!

We began with libations. A delightful red wine and a perfect martini. We were served a warm crusty roll with 3 different butters, thyme and rosemary, coffee, and lightly salted. This was followed by our chosen appetizer, calamari with arrabiata sauce. Yummy!

For our entrées we chose the filet mignon and a New York strip. They were served perfectly medium rare as requested. The seasoning was excellent!!! They brought salt and pepper mills but they were totally unnecessary. Wonderfully tender as well. Couldn't have asked for better steaks. For sides we selected creamed spinach and grilled asparagus. Both were excellent. The asparagus has a great char and was wonderfully seasoned.

We were really blown away.

Now, truly, the prices are not at all cheap, but we really felt it was worth it.
