Breakfast at Zee Best. I enjoyed the coffee, especially since it was served in silver container that provided at least 2 full cups of coffee and they had cream. $3 We also enjoyed $5 mimosas. Pineapple for David and guava for me. That’s about where the good ends. I chose the sunny side, egg, crepe with ham and cheese. The egg was over hard I didn’t enjoy it. David’s French toast croissant was an open faced croissant split in half and press down into a round shape. He didn’t pay attention to the description so he thought he was getting French toast not a croissant. It was very eggy tasted more like bread pudding. He didn’t care for it.
Spent some time on loungers in front of our unit at BSV. We wanted to swim at Maho while watching planes arrive to video arriving planes. Both Air France and KLM were arriving midafternoon. Around 1:30 pm the amount of cruise ship people was manageable so we parked over by the casino and walked to beach. The water was calm and warm. We swam for a bit before JetBlue and American departed. Before they departed David and I were smart enough to walk away from the jet blast. There were those who didn’t heed the warning to stay away from the jet blasts. It was comical to see all who stood in the path get blow down the sand and some into the water. Some tried running away but they were caught up in the blast. Drinks, hats, sunglasses went flying into the ocean. Those who got blasted and those who watched were cheering. We shook our heads and were happy that no one got hurt.
I was pleased with the video I got of both AF & KLM arriving. With that accomplished we went to Driftwood for a drink.
Our dinner plans with Michelle and John were almost thwarted. Our intention was to meet up at Buccaneers Halloween party. As soon as we pulled onto Airport Rd from the runway road it was backed up. We didn’t go more than ¼ mile in 20 minutes so did a u turn and went to Maho.
We had eaten at Roma and Mr. Chow so knew one of them would be good for dinner. Happy hour is between 5-7 pm with ½ price drinks and discounted appetizers. If you sit at the bar or the high tops you can order off either menu. We shared the tempura shrimp while sipping on cocktails. Five shrimp with 3 dipping sauces. We enjoyed them. {ate one before taking photo} I drank a Grey Goose extra dry martini with olives. Definitely a good martini. We didn’t realize that top shelf liquor is also 50% off. Can’t beat a great martini for $6.00.
Our friends who were already at Bucs called to tell us that traffic had lightened up. The party at Bucs was more for kids so decided to meet up at Captain Ds for ribs, chicken and Johnny Cakes. We were all a bit disappointed that the ribs were a bit dry. Chicken, Johnny Cakes and sides were good. Checked out Tap & Still, cash only. Drinks were reasonable priced. There is an inside bar toward the back of restaurant with more tables and chairs. Also they had the former space occupied Marty’s Gyro was. Sorry we didn’t get there sooner in our vacation. We were comfortable and staff was friendly, while we didn’t see anyone eating a burger I would have returned to try one.
I personally never cared for Zee Best, except to get a sandwich to go. You should have gone to Reveil Matin. Best breakfast on the island, in my opinion. And we always have leftovers to take home, which is a good thing! That french toast looks gross, and the crepe doesn't look that great either.
Tap and Still is the place where they serve the burgers in paper bags? If no one was eating burgers, what were they eating? I thought that's all they have.
We ate at Reveil once. We like breakfast at Yacht Club. I remember Zee Best in Marigot which we loved. I wanted a crepe and because we haven’t been there in years we tried it. I’ll go back to Reveil for crepes or place in Maho in the future .
