Mario's Bistro is located on the water., Outside dinning in candle lite, when the sun goes down the under water lights come on and the fish put on the show . Many people call weeks in advance to reserve a table during high season. but during the slow months if you get in when the place just opens you can... More

Mafrios is not near many hotels but it has great food and a vew of the bay and channel. Make a reservation and ask for a table by the water.

We found Mario's by accident as it had been suggested we visit a nearby restaurant. When the menu there did not look as appealing, my husband mentioned he had read about Mario's and read it had been excellent, but reservations needed to be made in months in advance. We took a shot and stopped in. We were greeted by Didier,... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Mario's. The service staff were very attentive, the food was delicious and Didier made everyone feel very welcome. A must to for our next trip.

We booked our reservation 2 weeks before we got to St. Maarten as we were told it's very hard to get a reservation at Mario's. So we were thrilled to dine there. The service was outstanding, they were very attentive and informative. The wine selection was great. The food was excellent, I had the duck & it was very good... More

This has been our favorite restaurant on the island for years, and it continues to be. As always, our visit in Feb. featured perfect service, a warm welcome, fabulous food, and a friendly but totally professional atmosphere. As far as we're concerned, this is THE STANDARD to which others should aspire!!
