My husband, who is Greek, and I decided to try Vesna's for lunch. He had a hamburger, which he said was the best he had on the island. I tried a Greek salad with some dolmadakia (stuffed grape leaves), which were delicious and I've had some great Greek food in my life!! The fries served with the burger were steak... More

We have travelled to St Maarten yearly for the past 10 years and have found and frequent a number of favorite restaurants. On a whim one of our foursome picked Vesna Taverna for a try for dinner. What a great decision it was. The greeting and service was well above and beyond most places on the island. They serve a... More

Very personable owners and wait staff. Humous (home made) greek salad, and grouper were all outstanding and reasonable. Did not have dessert but tiramasu looked wonderful. Finbished off dinner with banana and mango home made rum which were brought to the table by Vesna, one of the owners. Her husband, Yanni, the other owner, stopped by our table just to... More

The restaurant is billed as French and Greek cuisine. We have had breakfast there several times this trip. My wife usually has pancakes and I have had eggs and sausage or eggs Benedict - excellent!! Juice is fresh squeezed there daily. The orange juice is delicious. Coffee is free refills and better than served most places. Prices are very reasonable... More

We stopped in for dinner on a friend's recommendation. We started with a delicious pot of mussels with French bread, followed by entrees of salmon and grouper, each done perfectly. Our meal was followed by complimentary rum infused with fresh banana as an after dinner drink. Vesna, the owner, suggested we return the following evening for Mediterranean night. Since that... More

Terrific staff, owner and food! Very accommodating except if you are a very late arrival from the states! Connected to the Travel Inn Hotel but not part of the hotel. The restaurant beside it is owned by the hotel owners. The breakfast was large and very, very, good even if it was at noon! I ate fruit and a bagel....friend... More

Delightful dinner. Our group of 4 shared appetizers (hummus and warm pita as well as grape leaves), two chicken dinners, pasta Alfredo and shrimp in creamy, garlic sauce. Despite being shorthanded, Vesna (the owner) served us quickly with a lot of personality thrown in to keep dinner entertaining. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food and dining experience and would highly... More

Went to this place 3 times (they are closed Sunday and Monday night) but opened for breakfast. Because of the Tripadvisor reviews, we decided to try again. We really enjoyed the meal and service. The owner came out and spent some time with us which is always the right thing to do. The food was professionally prepared, was served in... More
