If the stars align, we will be flying down Saturday after this for a week along with my son and daughter-in-law. We are on Frontier out of Baltimore. (Yes, I know, but the price was too good to pass up.) Any Frontier veterans have any survival tips? Does anyone know when Harmony Nights start in Grand Case, or will they even have them this year? I think Mardi Gras is not until March, so we may be too early. Also, has anyone done a tour at any of the island breweries? My son is a beer aficionado and is interested.
The budget is tight this time around, so maybe only two nights out a nice restaurant. Our favorites are La Villa for French side and Jax for Dutch side. Suggestions for new alternates and cheap eats are appreciated!
Try Vesna Taverna for great dinners at reasonable prices. For inexpensive- there are several restaurants in Jordan Village- near the Medical School. Casual dining but great food.
If you like fresh homemade pasta, Spaghetti House is wonderful and cost what pasta is worth (to us). Check their Facebook page for menu and specials. Located in Jordan Village

As Elaine said, no Harmony Nights this year, unfortunately. I could be wrong, but as far as brewery tours, I think the only one is Topper's Rum, no beer breweries.
You didn't say where you're saying on island, so not sure what to recommend that will be close to you. Lots of great choices for cheap eats on island. Some of my favorites, in no particular order, are ribs and chicken at Rosie's on Mullet, ANYTHING at Mark's Place, anything at Al Dente near Orient, or Mama Pizza in either Cupecoy or Oyster Pond, lots of great choices at Fat Tony's in Cupecoy. For upscale, Jax is pretty hard to beat for meat lovers. I love Ocean 82 for that 'splurge' meal, with a wonderful view of Anguilla. Sublime in Maho is also a new entrant in the upscale food area, with great choices. Enjoy!!
There are at least 3 beer brewery tours on the Dutch side and there is at least 1 beer brewery on the French side but I am unsure if this one offers a tour. Hope this helps.
Another here who really enjoys the Spaghetti House. Their food is yummy and reasonably priced, too. We also enjoy Fat Tonyâs across the street for a very casual dinner but we try to get there before the music begins or else its another reason to eat at the Spaghetti House since the music at FTâs is just a little too loud for us. Very enjoyable but very loud for such a small venue and we always seem to end up at the table right next to it.
Re Fat Tonyâs, their Tuesday night steak special is very good for those who havenât already tried it.

The Greenhouse has a large selection of reasonably priced items. Happy hour 4:30 to 7, 2 for 1drinks. Buccaneer Beach Bar has all you can eat ribs & chicken for $10.00 Monday & Tuesday 5 to 7.
I'll second Spaghetti house, the owner told us she was a chef at Mario's, if I have it right! We had a lovely dinner there, we'll be back! Don't forget Prime rib night at the Greenhouse,(Simpson bay) Mike the manager advised us some years ago, book your "PR" size in advance, they sell out quick! I will say this, with the sides, Louise and I split a Queen cut and full after, saving room for desert ,very hard!! (great on the budget) Sandbar!!! (Beacon hill) Saturday nights, "What the funk" plays, good eats and drinks to the won't set you back! Fun place!!!
Yes, you are correct. I fixed my note.
