Reviews
Prices were reasonable, and I’d definitely like to come back to try more from their menu.
Not a great place. Make our stomach upset.
The service is perfect.
What made me finally write a review today? A friend I know is going to Saint Martin and I wanted her to go to this restaurant. So I went on Google and found it – I’m so glad I did because I really wanted the restaurant to know that the Effort they put into each meal is so much appreciated by those who enjoy really good food
The trouble started right away. I ordered a very dry Grey Goose martini. The drink served must have been half vermouth. Yuk. I left it mostly full, expecting our server would ask if it was okay. He did not. The cocktail was still on our table when we departed. We split a cheese casserole, which was good, but not good enough to salvage the meal. My wife had the Dover sole meunière. While I wouldn’t bet $10 that a genetic test would confirm that it was actually Dover sole, the fish was well cooked. The problem was the lemony caper butter sauce was served on the side in a tiny crock. The sauce seemed to be burned, and was not edible. Absent sauce, the fish was rather bland, saved by the disappointing addition of salt. I ordered the beef bourguignon, supposedly a classic French stew from Burgundy, featuring beef slow-cooked in red wine with bacon, carrots, onions, and mushrooms, resulting in a rich, tender, and flavorful dish often served over potatoes or noodles. The dish came in a small covered crock. The sauce including no visible mushrooms, pearl onions, mushrooms or bacon, but did include some small orange specks; maybe carrots. The beef was so fatty that much of it was returned to the plate from my mouth — said pile of rejected beef also ignored by our server. Absent key ingredients, the sauce was nearly tasteless and was elevated to barely edible (again) by salt. The highlight of the evening was a bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape (perhaps from Château Mont-Redon?). At $51, it was fairly priced, just over retail. However, when the check came, the price was increased to $91, more than double retail price.
There were few diners there on a Wednesday evening, which is no surprise considering the poor quality of food and service. French Cocotte is off our list.
From start to finish, everything was cooked to perfection and packed with incredible depth of flavor. The salad was crisp and fresh, the French onion soup was rich and comforting, and the duck confit? Simply flawless, tender, flavorful, and beautifully executed.
This is fine dining without the pretense. Pricing was more than reasonable for the quality, especially on an island known for tourist markups. It’s the polar opposite of the overpriced microwaved vegetable nonsense you’ll find elsewhere. Every detail, from the service to the plating, reflects care, craft, and authenticity.
If you’re on the island and looking for a memorable dinner in a stunning setting, this is where you go.
Until next time xoxo
