Best Authentic Restaurants in St. John

My family decided that was one of the best meals we’ve ever had- perfect chill but elevated beach vibe, great service from Arch and his support staff, and the food was incredible- our favorites were the tuna tartare, the charcuterie and my daughter loved the pork loin special. Even the water glasses were beautiful :-)

We really had a great dining experience tonite. Christmas Eve beautiful beach. Great service wines and the food was excellent. Thank you for a wonderful nite. Happy Holidays🥂

We had such a wonderful time and fantastic food! As recommended, we had reservations. We were originally seated in the back section of the restaurant but the air conditioning unit was blowing right on us and was not comfortable. They were kind enough to move us. We were greeted by Sharman who is one of the best servers we have ever experienced. She had a contagious smile- and laugh - and is an absolute gem of a person who made our night even more enjoyable! We had a couple of questions about our orders and took one of the questions back to the chef. She regularly checked in on us and seemed to genuinely enjoy meeting and connecting with folks. We had the bruschetta appetizer, which was fantastic. A couple of us had the red snapper (aglio e olio and piccata), another the shrimp scampi and the mushroom papparadelle with chicken. We all thought our dishes were delicious! Definitely one of our best dining experiences on St Thomas!

Having stayed at their sister property in Martha's Vineyard a few months earlier we had to come over for a meal while celebrating a return anniversary in St. Thomas. Everyone, from the ferry crew to the resort staff could not have been friendly and, more so, fully efficient and competent. Saturday nights the resort's upscale restaurant is closed and instead there is a much more casual offering. It is, however, no less terrific I'm certain and for our evening, just perfect. The evening was a very special one thanks to the associates and team members, chef especially.

We had a fabulous, authentic, island time meal & drinks. Our party of five adults chose to order all of the starters for our dinner and they were delicious. Group favorites- the fritters, caramelized plantains, spicy shrimp, fried chicken. We appreciated that the staff was friendly and we weren’t rushed through our meal. The rum balls were a perfect ending to the meal. Try the rum flight and the El Presidente for beverages.
