While we were in St. Maarten, we went to Big Fish and enjoyed everything about it. The food was delicious with a beautiful presentation.

While I was in Saint Maarten I went twice to Big Fish restaurant. It's a great place, beautiful decoration inside and really charming tables on the outside, with a pleasant breeze from the bay nearby. The food was very good in both opportunities (although a little bit expensive). I strongly recommend this restaurant for a nice dinner, you will enjoy!

We had a great meal at Big Fish. The food is nicely prepared and presented. Brenda and her staff did an excellent job waiting on us and suggested great options for dinner. Even though there is no ocean view, they have done a great job with making a very attractive setting. If there is a shower, the indoor seating is... More

Nothing special , nice ambiance but you could get this anywhere else , just like seating in a restaurant back home . Food was good at best but above all the staff was non attentive and could smile a little more .Would not return and would recommend trying Daniel's By The Sea for a great Italian dinner or Canoa across...

Had chicken and was somewhat dry - husband had salmon was somewhat disappointed in his salmon. It was just 'ok'. The outdoor dining with fountains was lovely, however....

Nice outside seating, very tasty food. We had hurricane shrimp, a spinach salad and their burger (which surprisingly enough, came with seafood). It was all quite tasty. Staff was friendly and moderately attentive. Main complaint is the price, it was expensive for what you got.
