Claude Mini-Club on the waterfront in Marigot has a Caribbean buffet dinner every Wednesday and Saturday, with lots of delicious food (all homemade), including all-you-can-eat lobster (grilled and cold). The buffet also include fish soup, french onion soup, grilled snapper, leg of lamb, pig roast, duck, chicken, prime rib, veggies, salads, cheeses, pies, cakes, tropical fruit salad, etc... Buffet includes all you can drink house wine (very decent white, rose, and red). Live entertainment. The whole thing for $60 or $65 (don't remember exactly) per person, gratuity included. It's packed so reservations are recommended. https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=en&...AIVB10eCh3wpw58

Never been to Antoine's myself, but I thought they just have lobster thermidore. Do they have traditional just grilled or broiled lobster also?

Doug is correct - their grilled lobster menu offering is a little misconceiving as they definitely don't 'grill' the lobster, and in fact, don't even have a grill per se, so it's definitely broiled. Skipjack's and Lee's both do a great job if a grilled lobster is what you're looking for, and Lee's garlic butter basting sauce is yummy.
And if you're looking for a simply prepared but excellent grouper, I can absolutely vouch for Antoine's pan sauteed choice. Pierre does a great job on this traditional fish dinner, so much so, I've never been disappointed. And their lobster thermidor is incredibly delicious although on the pricier side, as are all their lobster options, but over 40+ years and a lot of thermidor dinners, I still think Antoine's by the Sea on Front Street has the very best we've ever had, on or off the island! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

OK, thanks. I have only ever heard people rave about Antoine's thermadore, so wasn't sure.

GaKaye said: I personally prefer a Maine lobster over a Caribbean one, but the Thermidor at Antoine's is excellent. Another way I enjoy it on the island is served cold in a salad. Kakao on Orient has an excellent one, as well as Aloha, also on Orient. I'm sure you know that Caribbean lobster is not really lobster but crayfish aka langouste. It's sometimes called spiny lobster but because they don't have claws, calling them lobster is misleading. Personally, I prefer langouste over Maine lobster because I don't really care for claw meat and the tail is my preferred piece. I like my langouste either thermidor or poached in a courbouillon and then served cold with mayonnaise and salad. Grilled lobster is ok but more often than none, restaurants overcook them and they're too dry for my taste. At Claude Mini-Club, 80% of the patrons jump on the grilled ones and I always have lots of poached ones to chose from. To each his own.
