I loved everything about this restaurant. From the atmosphere to the food itself. You can see such attention to detail in the decor and in the food. We were treated with kindness and the food was delicious!
My wife and I came here for a date night. Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. Free valet when you arrive, special thanks to Mo, you were amazing, opened the car door for my wife and directed us accordingly. (Thanks for the tip on the cheesecake, it was incredible.)
We were seated right by the window with a nice breeze. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, we started with the Mahi Ceviche and Lainie's Bread Basket. The bread was incredible, but the ceviche needed a little more flavor.
My wife tasted a few of the wines before ordering a glass of the Rosé. I appreciated the samples before ordering a full glass.
She ordered the Bordeaux Braised Lamb Shank ($57), excellent 👌🏼 & I ordered the "Catch of the day" (whole grilled yellow tail snapper $55), delightful.
I love fresh seafood, just know if you order the whole fish, it comes with bones and work, but it's absolutely delicious!!!
We finished with the Brulee Cheesecake and Huckleberry Cake (Carrot cake but with Pineapple instead). The dessert's were amazing and locally made.
This was a great experience and we truly enjoyed the piece of history here in St Thomas, we will be back.
The waiter was unbelievably pompous and that has nothing to do with level of formality. Judgement was written all over his face and talking like the food was a gift from above. He ‘guaranteed’ it would be the best meal I’ve had. It wasn’t. The alleged mamajuana demi glaze was just a flat one-note brown sugar reduction: overly sweet with no acidity or balance. Quality of mignon was great but the dish did not hit the mark. Potato pavé was extremely concentrated in salt on top as it was finished with table salt, not flaky salt. Espresso martini was bitter and foam‑less. When I asked a simple question, he snapped ‘I’ll get there.’ Abrasive for no reason. Another server tried to start the spiel and he cut him off with ‘they’re all set.’ Maybe focus on your own messy team instead of performing or worrying about a customers interjection. They charge for bottles of still water with zero notice, each one a different temperature. Soda was warm. Owner shouldn’t worry about cans being perceived as tacky as much as the quality of food and drink they’re willing to place in front of customers. At this price point, it is embarrassing. Got a ‘biscoff’ cheesecake which was just a plain cheesecake with biscoff base and nothing else. There was a brown film on top that I assume was supposed to be biscoff but offered nothing in flavor. Food wasn’t terrible, but the value is pathetic, even for the island. Open-air, no AC, quaint ambience, very limited seating. Ultimately minimal finesse, zero hospitality, and nowhere near worth what they’re charging. Tipped 30% and couldn’t even get a thank you. This will be a never-again on my future visits.
