We were there last November having been away about as long as you have. Stayed in NS for a couple of days before sailing to Anegada. BEYC pretty much rebuilt - nice, but different. Certainly miss the original buildings. Saba Rock restaurant was exceptional (albeit expensive) - again I miss the old Pirates Pub and Bert Kilbride. Tried the North Side Bistro over near Leverick Bay - disappointing. Rented a car and drove to the Baths (lunch at Top of The Baths). VGYH was still under construction. Life seemed pretty much the same. Everyone had an Irma story to tell. Some were horrific. Hard to imagine how awful it must have been.

We visited on our hurricane season trip down to Grenada. Saba Rock is pretty swank and very expensive. There is a happy hour upstairs, but not downstairs. As jmon said, Bitter End is still rebuilding their cottages. Good pizza and a nice spots for drinks on the water at the boat bar. Leverick is pretty much the same and a good value.
It is still nice protected waters with no rolling. Prickly Pear Island is still undeveloped except for the closed SandBox.

jmon mentioned the North Sound Bistro. Folks we met at BEYC mentioned enjoying that spot. They were also offering $30 moorings and $30 slips; electric was an up charge. We did not visit.

We intended to dock at the North Sound Bistro last January. If the prevailing winds are a bit high depending on the slip you might find it a very noisy night. With the wind E to ENE it’s a long fetch across the sound. ESE is much better if you plan on docking there.

Rick - To be fair, I believe the North Sound Bistro had just opened. The owner came around to our boat and suggested we try it so we did. Seemed like they were experiencing growing pains that night with new help and all.

We ate there in November 2022. I believe they had just opened. The owner came by our boat and suggested we try it, so we did. It was somewhat disappointing but probably due to growing pains. The food was decent and the view was great. Service not so much. Again - growing pains. I would hope by now they have ironed things out and made the necessary changes.
