Per usual, Ocean 82 did not disappoint! We brought two couples to the island (their first time on SXM), so of course we had to have dinner at Ocean 82. We always bring "newbies" there, as it is the one fine dining experience that has an AMAZING over-water view! And, as always, the wait staff were amazing - there were three in our party that were celebrating their 60th birthday - they brought out the dessert of choice with the sparkler on top!! Ocean 82 is always a must every time we are on the island!!
