What a fabulous evening. On our last night on the Island we dined @ L'Astrolabe. There were six of us charming ladies. Lol Everything about the restaurant exceeded our expectations.

   Read moreSuch a pleasure writing a review for this place. Walking into this beautiful, sexy upbeat restaurant makes you feel good right away. We sat at the bar as we arrived early for our reservation. Pascale, the talented and engaging bartender, was FABULOUS.
