TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin opinions on le pavillon by the sea?

We arrived yesterday. We exchanged our week at the Flamingo for a week at OBBR. We ate at Mama Pizza last night and are planning to eat at Canoa and Big Fish, among others, this week. I was curious as to any feedback people have on Le Pavillon by the Sea. I don't recall much discussion about it on this Forum. Thanks.

Have not personally eaten there, but last February friends of ours ate there twice and loved it. On our "to do list".

Like Kish, we haven't eaten there, but have heard/read, mostly good things. Here's a couple pics from there and their menu which is a couple years old.

We've eaten there. Food was good, but pricey. For a look at their menu, take a look at their web site.

Thanks. We are going to give it a try this week. we'll let you know how it goes. Dinner at Canoa tonight was fabulous.

We wanted to try it when we were there in April and found it was closed - permanently.

Packed up and went to Miami a few months back.

We drove by it yesterday. It is definitely closed. Ate at La Planteur instead. It struck me as odd that Le Pavillon's website is still active.

The website is active, but the menu link isn't. There was another inactive link, but I don't recall now what that was.

Le Pavilion was on our list to try while we were in SXM last week. We sent a reservation request per their website and tried to call. We finally drove over to see if they were open and found it was obviously closed. Later, we did get an email response from them regarding our reservation request. They thanked us for our interest and explained that they were closed for the low season and would reopen in the fall. That explains why their website is still up.
We had really looked forward to trying what really looks like a nice setting for a restaurant and their menu looks great as well. On our last trip we found the place by accident after dining at Daniel's by the Sea. We stopped in and asked about making reservations for the next night (Saturday) which was our last night before going home only to find that they are closed on Saturdays. Oh well, maybe next trip...
