has anyone been to Romi(TropicalHotel)?

I understand Romi/Tropical is part of the group that has Bonito St Barth & Betula Aspen. If that appeals to you.

I’d love to hear more about Le Bouchon

I’m under the impression Tropical is owned or at least run by 369 Degrés Hotels et Maisons. What’s the connection? Any idea?

 

[cassidain]

Hmm. Interesting.

we have had lunch at the Tropical a couple of times.....very quiet, very clean/neat, no water view, food was very good, service was very good.....

A delightful garden like setting. I loved lunching there.

We would go there more if they had a decent wine list. There's literally nothing drinkable on their small list. But we like the local vibe and the food is good and satisfying. Bavette/Purée, pizzas, burgers, etc

Apart from the weak wine list (which may improve with new management by a French sommelier of the third "order"), the restaurant offers local color and charm (reminiscent of the old Andy's "Hideaway," for which the marketing schtick was "warm beer, mediocre food, and a view on the car park!"). The beer's refreshingly cold . . . the food is superior . . . and the view on the car park is somewhat like sitting at the patio of Le Select or at Bar de L'Oubli -- the life of St. Barths passes by, with every minute a changing, colorful, revealing scene. I don't go to Le Bouchon often because the list places that I like is so long . . . but I genuinely enjoy the place. A touchstone to "old St. Barths!"

Thoughts on Manapany for dinner?-never really go on that side of the island

Fact checking your quote . . . .

I miss that place and the guy himself there, as well as the team...

 

[bkeats]

As to Bouchon, what Dennis said! I go at least once each visit. Skip the wine and water, drink beer!

 

[cassidain]

not really beer drinkers
