About the restaurant

Overlooking the aqua colors of the Caribbean Sea, our restaurant is regarded as the island’s most iconic location for dining. We feature a fully open-air dining room. Most tables offer unobstructed views of the Baye de GriGri, spectacular breathtaking sunsets, dramatic full moons rising, passing sailboats and landing seaplanes.

Unsurprisingly, seafood dominates our menu. Whenever possible we source fresh, local seafood caught off the shores of the Virgin Islands.

We hope our passion for sustainability is evident in the highest quality and freshest ingredients we use, including seasonal produce from local farmers.

Our extensive wine list was chosen to balance refinement with versatility and intended to pair well with every item on our menu.

Our Bistro offers a fun, lively atmosphere designed with a come-as-you-are feeling.

We combine culinary excellence with superb service and an exquisite setting, creating experiences and

Food was excellent, service was perfect along with the view of the yachts! We are on Island and saw the sign as we pulled in to the marina. Music was bit loud.

We sat outside overlooking the water. Our waitress, Charlotte, was excellent and very familiar with the menu offering suggestion of her favorites and most ordered. I had the Caribbean lobster which was excellent. My husband had the sea bass. Bread service was not included but homemade and very good.

The food was fabulous! Reading reviews, I almost didn’t want to try Lemongrass, but it was spectacular! The charred octopus was so tender and with the beans tasted so good. 3 of us had the ahi tuna and the flavors were incredible. My husband had the short rib pasta and that was so delicious as well!! I would recommend this restaurant in a heartbeat!!!
