Le Piment Restaurant — Restaurant in Saint Martin (France)

I've visited this restaurant twice, and my experiences have been quite mixed.

On my first visit, I ordered the lamb, and it was exceptional. The meat was perfectly tender, seasoned beautifully, and full of flavor. Despite the restaurant being extremely busy—we were seated at the last available table around 8:20 pm—the service was efficient, and the meal was memorable.

Other than those minor nitpicks, food was good. Once my group of cooks dont complain, we can recommend it. Check the specials. The explanations alone were...

Mix of ages and nationalities from visitors and some locals. Poor service (apart from the young girl who appeared to be covering her own and others tables). This poor service ranged to having to ask for wine list and bill twice, to very slow delivery of food to us and other tables. There was only two of us and food not only didn't arrive together but mash served separately as part of one dish took nearly 5 minutes to turn up. We have experienced better food quality at other establishments. Wine list on a board was quite good and had...
