My very favorite restaurant is not necessarily "The BEST" of all the offerings from a culinary standpoint or the ritziest or the classiest either, for that matter, but based on all the above and then toss in longevity and consistency, it would most definitely be ANTOINE'S BY THE SEA on Front street in Philipsberg. We first discovered it in the late seventies or very early eighties under the management of the original owners and at a time when one of the current owners was but a young waiter serving his apprenticeship under the Captain and his Lady.
It's been there since our earliest trips to the island and it has endured over all these years through changes too numerous to list. It has survived countless major storms that destroyed its original location along with economic downturns across the island that cost many an entrepreneur to throw in the towel and call it quits, and has even managed to survive a flawless change in ownership way back when, and can boast that it's still going strong today despite the average visitors hesitancy to visit P'berg at night for dining opportunities.
Jean Pierre and Pierre get my vote because of their quality, for sure, but also because of their longevity and their resiliency, not to discount at all their friendship over all these years. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Although I have already answered I can't believe that no one has mentioned Dreams!!! It's definitely tied for first for us although I said Bistro Caribes only because we always feel we are treated like good friends there for so many years.

I think you nailed the reason Dreams perhaps wasn't mentioned - Dreams has only been around for a couple of years and the OP used the word 'still' in the original question. Given the wording, My take was which of the places that had been around for a while. Had I been asked for a second choice I would have said Marks, which has also been around since at least the late 70s or early 80s, too. We discovered Marks in 83 in its original location and followed it to today. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Chuck---I definitely wavered between Bistrot and Dreams, but as Pat said, it seemed that the question was asking for a long time favorite and Dreams is a newcomer..

Tom said: Many come to mind but as Pat said earlier....Antoines! Always perfection and never a disappointment and valet parking is a plus. Lisa Agree with Antoine's - went there for the first time in 1986 and try to get back every year since. Just love the souffls!

wofan said: Definitely Ma Ti beach and the owner Laurent! How 'bout that!!! I never thought I would see someone vote for my favorite. I really think this is the 1st time I've seen it mentioned after being on this forum for 10 years. Love their tables with a view as well as their outside tables.
