Menu prices 8 years ago

In trying to clean the home “memories closet“ . . . so many souvenirs, including much of St. Barths. I thought this menu is of interest for a look at restaurant pricing eight years ago.

Note that tipping even was an issue then.

Boy, do we miss Maya’s. Hoping she and Randy are enjoying their retirement!

Sure was. She called it Lisa pasta.

Dennis, was that your eponymous pasta ?

Dennis, was that your eponymous pasta ?

Yes . . . it started one evening when I wasn’t feeling great. Maya said that she had just the right thing for me . . . it was Angel hair pasta, as I recall, done lightly with oil & fresh, chopped basil — with a pot of lemon tea, infused with brandy. I definitely felt better at leaving!

Oddly enough, Albert Balayn at La Gloriette used to also fix pasta for me if he detected that I needed TLC . . . his specialty for me was linguine in oil & garlic. No tea, but red wine was a good substitute.

Days of such special attention are limited now . . . though a few still exist. Definitely in the non-St. Tropez category!

When is the COM going to make you an honorary Saint-Barth ?

When is the COM going to make you an honorary Saint-Barth ?

. . . not likely with the current administration!

A version a few years later is a bit slimmer and prix fixe. The prix fixe actually looks like a good value compared to the a la carte prices.

That really makes me miss Maya's!
