So glad we got to Saline for dinner at L'Esprit. Jean-Claude is closing for one week for a much deserved rest after taking care of the locals, the island's first post Irma visitors, and about 80 participants who gathered for a closing dinner at the conclusion of the Cata Cup Race! Enjoy your little break!


These piping hot panko crusted crab cakes with a kimchi dipping sauce made for a a zesty amusee from Chef du Four.

The wahoo tartare was underneath thin slices of wahoo and topped with a red pepper swirl. It was set among apple slices, apple sorbet, greens and a crisp of toast.

I like how he's doing the flank steak. It's sliced raw, just as you would normally slice a cooked flank steak, and then rolled, tied, and cooked. I was very happy with it when I ordered it.
 
We will miss the regulars but will look forward to the next time. New places open or get fixed daily. Plan ahead. Hugs

Sorry L'Espirit will be closed for a week but completely understand!
It is great to start seeing your reviews Amy and Phil!
Keep them coming- (drool drool)!
 
Amy and Phil, I knew you would come through on the food porn! Wish we could visit sooner than next summer. Too busy with Sr year and college apps.
 
Been there done that, Kelly. It too shall pass. Some times we put things on hold, but then we can dream of getting to do them later on when the time is right. Patience and priorities. Life is good.
 
Dined at L'Esprit last February and it was the best meal of the week. My father who accompanied us is still dreaming of the smoked Wahoo. Thank you for posting. Getting us excited for our return this Feb.
