I have to share this information because it's only fair to let everyone know:) There's a restaurant we discovered recently which is unbelievably good. We thought of going there already last year yet the ambience turned us off. We were wrong to let that (mis)guide us. Although the decor and general feeling of a place are important features when choosing a place to eat out, I think that in a place with limited options, as SXM, maybe that criteria should not get in the way too often.
It's not that the place looks bad or untidy or aesthetically incorrect...I'm just very picky. And it made me feel at least 20 years too young to be there. On second thought, knowing myself, 20 years from now, if the decor does not change, I will still most likely feel it is not my kind of ambience. It's all perfectly colour matched, tidy, spacious, modern....just whatever it is ...something's there or something's missing. Won't dwell on it, because it's much less relevant.
The food, the food was wow! I would go back any time, recommend it to anybody and praise it endlessly, because the chef deserves all the free publicity possible. I'm talking about the
Temptation behind the Atlantis Casino in Cupecoy, Dutch side. I hope if the chef ever reads this post does not hold it against me for expressing my opinion on the look of the place, I honestly believe once you have his food in your mouth you loose all needs for being ambience spoiled, you forget everything, eating there is just such a pleasure:)
In fact I wanted to post more pictures, of the delicious dishes, but we literally forgot to take them before we started digging in, the look and smell were so tempting and the starter convinced us the the rest would be fantastic :) It would not do justice to the quality of the meal to show a messy plate with the food half gone... So I leave it to your imagination or better yet, to your own visit to the Temptation, to find out how wonderful and uncomparable is the food.
