I think you made your point over and over. Seems odd. Certainly not the norm from what I have ever seen or heard. Is there a place you'd like to promote or like? Did you say anything to the management? I know most of that staff has worked there for decades and proud of their job. I can understand the food not being consistent sometimes but no excuse for rudeness. Who was the surly person? Man ,woman local person foreigner? I’ll be back on the island in November , i sure the manager would love to know and fire that person If they’re not already gone. Yes lots of great places including Marys Boon and the others I have said.

forever--OK, people like different things. For example, we went to Palapa Grill this past visit, and, while the steak was good, there were way too many issues with the place for me and we won't be back..

Too bad, Carol and we are among the many who have thoroughly enjoyed Palapa Grill each time we've been there.
But for the record, and in response to other posts on Marys Boon, we had always loved the restaurantthere right up to a horrible experience a couple of years back that somewhat echoed GaKaye's but without any rudeness. In fact, our waiter that night was about the only good thing about the evening. We swore we wouldn't go back but relented and it was once again the place we remembered it to be. And likewise, we had a similar experience with Marios having dined at each of his locations over the years and always enjoyed our meals in each location. I won't say our last visit was terrible - we were with great friends and their company made all else fall by the wayside - but it just wasn't up to our expectations.
It can and does happen.
Respectfully,
pat

GaKaye and Pat, I am just posting here to certify both of your post, like that means diddly but I thought it was funny.
The experience at Marys Boon was so below par, and they were not busy but there was not one good thing about that experience other than being with friends and the view. What upset me more than anything is we had good friends from Washington State there for a short stay with us that don't get that many trips to island and we ended up wasting a meal slot. The previous visit was so so, just doesn't make you want to go back. Although I have for cocktails at the beach bar.
As for Mario's, I would do it again with that group in a NY Second, and while it was in my very humble opinion not up to what I would normally expect from Mario it was not bad, just not inspiring like I have had before. Was just honored to be there with the celebs.
28 days until we contribute to the economic recovery of the island, tough work but it is needed and we are just the ones to do it!
Whooooop Whooooooop!
I prefer the Isle seat

Mary's Boon has a brand new chef about 2 months ago. Everything we have tried was delicious. IMHO far and above El Zaf or Karakter
