One of the best meals of the trip! Recommend one makes a reservation to eat on the dock itself. We did not and sat inside. Although it felt like outdoor/open air seating as many walls were open. Beatiful ambiance, nice service and great food. What more can you ask for!

Canoa was very close to our vacation villa, so we were inclined to give it a try our last evening in St. Martin. We were so glad we did. The meal was great, and I could have more than 1 glass of wine since we could walk home!! Trust me though, that was not what made the meal great. We... More

We went during May (low-season). The restaurant was not crowded and the staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was wonderful!

We ate here twice while staying at the Coral Beach Club. The first time we al. Had fish. They were all well prepared and presented very attractively. The second visit we tried the Kobe burgers. They were out of this world! The "frites" outside of the US taste so much better, assume due to the oils used. Probably not healthy,... More

Service was good (although it was not busy the night we were there), and liked the atmosphere sitting outside right along the water. Food was good but not outstanding--thought some of it had too much seasoning, which obscured rather than enhanced the flavor of the dish.

This is right on property of the Oyster Bay Beach Resort. We have a table right on the edge of the dock over the water. We could see the water and fish swimming around during dinner. Food was a bit pricey which seems to be the norm as are the cheap drinks. Food was very good, but others stated they... More

The service was not up to par on this visit as it appeared the waiter was new to this job and didn't know the menu. Food was excellent but servings were small for the price. Wouldn't return. Found better food at a better value elsewhere.

Very nice dinner. Ate outside. A little dark at our table but food was very good and reasonably priced. Made a nice cosmo! Location is nice and quiet and gets away from the cars/motorbikes/motorcycles that are in a lot of other parts of the island.

When in St Martin, make sure you dine here. Quality food, good value, great atmosphere and most importantly lovely friendly staff. Such a warm welcoming experience from the moment we arrived, to the moment we left. When we returned a second time, it surprised us the staff all even remembered us and welcomed us back. Thank you Alecia and Jeremy,... More
