I went back through the booklets I collected in St. Martin and they jogged my memory.  You may also be interested in:

Cheri's Cafe:  It's an outside cafe.  There's a nightly show and the crowd seems quite lively.  I don't remember what it was called but they serve a frothy peach drink that was excellent.  Good was good but not exceptional.

Sambuca:  Everything was exceptional.  Not only was the food great, it was moderately priced -- most expensive thing on the menu was $12.95 US.  The pizza which is between $7.95 and $9.95 would easily serve two.  The wait staff and management were extremely friendly.  One of the owners even recommended another restaurant he thought we might like. There are so many restaurants on St. Martin that it would be impossible to know them all.  Be sure to pick up the free booklets they have at the airport and just about everywhere else.  They contain just about all the information you could possibly want on the island and also have coupons for a lot of restaurants.
