La Cantina

Reviewed By steve s

We ordered two tapas, and both were marginal at best...flavorless bar food, and nothing more. If your intent is to drink, then it's probably OK, but be careful ordering half off specials -- you need to order two to get the discount. Service is good and attentive.

We've not been to Nikki Beach since 2006 and were unsure how it would look after Irma. Needless to say, it looks brand new but yet the same. We had drinks, a Bloody Maria was fantastic. For lunch my wife chose the Hawaiian Poke Bowl salad and really enjoyed it. I had the Mahi Roti with sweet potato and it was excellent as well. Well developed flavors and textures. Service was excellent, the wine was great, the food outstanding so all was as before, just a wonderful meal in a fantastic location. This is a place you must visit.We will be back.

Bonito St Barth

Reviewed By littlesolotraveler

This place offers a nice ambiance as you've got a water view. The service is great as well! Look for Fabien, he knows excellent customer service. They also have a resident DJ that sets up for an awesome vibe. Because of these, I was willing to forgo the idea of not having the yummiest food. If you aren't too concern about the quality of food, then this place will be a good experience. Their food is average, in my opinion. For a high price, I was expecting to be WOWED and Bonito just didn't make it happen. Perhaps, stick to their Peruvian dishes and you'll less likely to be disappointed.

L' Esprit

Reviewed By DandDeeNYC

We loved our experience at L’Esprit - the atmosphere is beautiful; the entire staff seems happy to be there; and the food was amazing. We had a delightful meal and wished we could return another time during our week on the island. We ate at all the top restaurants on St. Bart’s and this was by far our favorite. We will definitely return again and again.

Sand Bar is currently located in Lorient. It’s the new Eden Rock Pop Up Beach. It’s as beautiful as you’d expect. We rented to sun beds for the day and had lunch in the lounge area. It’s not cheap but we had a really great afternoon there so we felt it was worth it. It would be great if Eden Rock would keep this satellite beach even when their hotel reopens. Dear Vickie, We were delighted to welcome you at our Eden Rock Pop-Up Beach and thank you so much for giving us five fabulous stars.We wish you many wonderful adventures until we meet again in paradise.Warmest regards from all of the team,Fabrice Moizan General Manager Eden Rock - St Barths

You would never expect to see what you will get when you are in front of the restaurant. Kind of a hidden garden of Eden in the middle of nowhere. The garden immediately brings you into the right mood. Food is great and from a high quality.
