This meal was the BEST of our trip. My boyfriend and I eat a lot of steak and we both said this had to be the best steakhouse we have been to. The cream of spinach was heavenly, and the meat was cooked exactly to our wishes. We wished we went to the steakhouse earlier in the week so we could have had more than one meal. For a steakhouse on the water with a beautiful view, it is very reasonably priced.

I seldom eat a major meal at the hotel restaurant. Especially in Sint Maarten with a plethora of international cuisine facilities dotting the landscape. On top of that , steak isn’t my first choice when in the islands when fresh fish is so delicious. Well , this evening we had a rib eye at Bovin that would challenge any aged grass fed steak from the U.S. Heartland or the Argentinian plains. Another in our party did submit to a wonderful, well sized broiled snapper with a butter lemon sauce. The evening was mild , the food excellent but the icing on the cake was our waitress, the ever smiling and professional, Marie-Nika . Marie-Nika and the staff are obviously well trained and appreciative of the position as they illustrate a positive, welcoming, persona. Take a snapper or mahi break and enjoy .

Beautiful patio area overlooking Simpson Bay. Great service especially from Angel. We choose the Red Snapper. Both were cooked to perfection! The accompanying sauces were a great complement to the fish. The steaks and other entrees are a la carte, though. The menu might give you a little sticker shock but the ambiance and service makes up for it

We ate here outside with our family. We started with great service but then it went downhill from there. The food was horrible and excessively expensive for the quality and presentation. The pasta dish was cold and bland. The steak and seafood was even worse, not even edible and disgustingly fatty. The ribeye was 90% fat. The surf and turf was served cold and undercooked. We asked the nice waitress to reheat and cook more but it was returned in the same poor quality. We did not even take 2 bites of either entree and gave it back to them nicely. They recognized we hadn’t even touched us but still charged us for the 2 dishes. The manager was apologetic but offered no resolution to serving us basically no meals but charging us over $300. Avoid this “steak”house!

The team is very lovely and responsive. The wine list is limited. The tablecloth at the table we were sitting at was wrinkled, and we arrived at opening time. The chicken dish called Chicken Don was not fully cooked, with raw centers, and served on a huge platter which was not easy to maneuver. Not tasty at all. I ate a very small portion, picked at it mostly, and declined a take home box which should have prompted a server or manager to inquire on my satisfaction with the dish. The corn cake dessert was good. The rolls were frozen in the middle. If not for a very tasty glass of Sauvignon and a nice view and friendly servers, I would have given this a 2 star! They also charged our credit card twice so we had to go through hoops to get it straightened out.

Pros: Beautiful, elegant spot, Isiah was a terrific server Comp rollwith three kinds of butters, nice touch Cons: Ribeye steak was good but not especially great. Expected better. Hamburger ordered medium rare came well done and flat rather than juicy. I had several other terrific burgers on this island. But certainly not here. When told my family was celebrating my birthday, they brought a lovely cake and staff provided energetic singing. But charged for the cake.

We are a group of 7, and 5 meals had to be sent back. The grilled salmon was still ice cold in the middle, the steaks weren’t cooked properly and none of the sides were anything special. The reason for the 2 stars is they got my filet mignon perfect and it had a good garlicky crust. The server was trying very hard, but they seemed understaffed and it took forever to get the drinks. Just for fun, they charge you $9.00 per quart sized bottle of what we thought was likely tap water they put in glass and in the fridge. It feels like they know you are stuck in the small cove area so they can charge crazy prices.

Are you kidding me? From the minute you walk in, Jamal and staff pamper you like true professionals. The attention to detail is as high quality as anyplace Worldwide! The drinks, appetizers and main dishes all spaced out correctly. Not a rush and properly spaced. We had the asparagus wrapped ny strip steak "outstanding" along with a meat empanada "very good." The bread came with 3 butters, very good. The drinks were excellent as well. Enough about the appetizers. Next we had a cowboy ribeye properly cooked and his fish recommendation snapper was delicious. We finished with Jamal's suggested Corn cake that we skeptically ordered and yes he delivered a wonderful dessert to cap off the best meal of our 1st week. Kudos to Bovin and Jamal for a job exceptionally well done!

Excellent sensory experience! Local with a precise location overlooking the Simpson Bay marina. Set in a Steak House with sober colors and pleasant surroundings The staff, like their managers, make you see and know that they are at your disposal and that they attend to your needs appropriately. The menu is to satisfy our tastes, and the cuts of Wagyu beef with appropriate terms. The wine list is not extensive; but enough to satisfy the taste of the connoisseur and give the marinade to your chosen cut. We were more than satisfied and congratulate all the staff for their attention, including breaking down language barriers.

Our first visit to Bovine, we were welcomed even though we did not have a reservation. Our server Sansay, recommended delightful choices and we loved our meal. We chose the NY Strip with delicious vegetables medley and mashed potatoes. Sansay recommended the Corn Cake for dessert and it did not disappoint, bravo! My only question is why pump in a fragrance through the ventilation? It is not necessary and ruins the aroma of the wine, meal and sticks to the back of one’s throat. Bad choice for atmosphere…not needed. Thank you Sansay…you were right about everything!! See you next time!

My fiancé and I was saving this restaurant to go to for my birthday but THANK HEAVENS we didn’t. For a “steak house “it sure was disappointing . The steak was tough and tasteless . Also our pork appetizer was soo salty. The restaurant only looks high end but it’s just bag quality food and ridiculous prices wrapped in an aesthetic setting. Not mentioning the waitress who was soo passive aggressive and always had a condescending tone. Not with only us but with every customer she interacted with. She will say smt disrespectful and try to hid it with chuckling . And in the end tried to trick my fiancé into thinking that he had to leave a tip!! How weird. I would not recommend this restaurant. They’re tons of other beautiful restaurants for half the price with better tasting ,fresh whole meals.
