Le Ti St. Barth

Frommer's Review

You'll either love or hate this place, depending on how you fit into an environment that manages to be frenetic, stylishly permissive, and Franco-chauvinistic all at the same time. From a point near the summit of a low-rise hill, Thierry de Bradereau -- who assists his partner, Carole Gruson -- defines stylized service rituals and cuisine among a jazzy and theatrical decor. Menu items range from the affordable and practical (platters of locally smoked fish, barbecued ribs, grilled beefsteaks and filet mignons, wahoo or red snapper in Creole sauce, grilled filet of duck with cranberry sauce) to the overpriced. An example includes local lobster garnished with truffles -- definitely not a bargain. Events that can, however, be a lot of fun here involve erratically scheduled late-night parties, some of them held in honor of the full moon or high tides.
