Definitely one of the best restaurants in all of the US Virgin Islands! We were here for our 25th wedding anniversary. We had very attentive and friendly service; excellent wine and cocktail suggestions, wonderfully prepared and presented food. The chef joined us to share experiences from restaurants we knew in Europe and mainland US. We'll certainly come back here every time we return to St.Croix.

Great food, great wine, great service!! Gaspar was wonderful, Sommelier was excellent and helpful. Hostess never smiled tho. But overall A+

Completely disappointed! I heard mixed reviews but I wanted to experience it for myself, and now that I have. I will not be returning. To start, we had reservations and was seated immediately upon walking in. Beautiful atmosphere and open kitchen which added a nice touch. We ordered a bottle of wine, and we placed our orders. A bowl of popcorn was served. For a high end restaurant I expected some bread with butter! Appetizers were just okay, calamari was overcooked and the soup was great! I had the pasta dish of the night which had added lobster and brisket. The pasta was made locally in the restaurant, and it was one of the worst tasting textured pastas I've ever had. How do you mess up pasta? It tasted like wheat but it wasnt and it was also dry and overcooked. The lobster was tough and also dry. The portion size was so small I left and stopped at Mc Donald's on the way home because I was still hungry and unsatisfied. I will not be returning

In one word... WOW! Such a great atmosphere, in addition to amazing food and top notch service. I was lucky to get a table as a walk in without reservations before 7:00 on a Tuesday evening. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back next time I'm on island!

The quality of the renovation of this very old building was excellent. The rear outdoor area provides a great space for a private party or casual dinner. The inside dining area was pleasant & tastefully decorated. We had a party of six who were there to celebrate two birthdays so we were able to order & share a variety of items on the menu. There was nothing but praise for the Chef. The chicken I ordered was excellent & adhered to the Island flavor. The dessert items were very tasty.The staff was very efficient & attentive. I would certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys choosing from a menu of food with unique Island flavors.

Whelp... this was our first stop after arriving today with my wife. Service was outstanding, my wife’s meal (filet) outstanding, cocktails outstanding... i ordered the special which was some rice crab deal stuff back into crab shell. It did not measure up. Not even close. It basically tasted like rice stuff into a crab shell. I let the waitress know and she apologized and said she would tell the chef. I assume this happened but was surprised to see that they didn’t do anything to accommodate me. Personally at this level of a restaurant I would never ask a guest to pay for a meal that they weren’t blown away with. At least comp dessert or a couple of cocktails.... have the manager/owner stop by and ask what can be done to make it right. Anyway this review was earned by the $34.00 they charged me for rice stuff, forget-ably, into a crab shell. Hope they can learn from this and improve.

After finding this restaurant via its social media presence, my party decided on this restaurant for our special dinner out while on vacation. The menu looked great and there were several vegetarian options which was great for us. We walked in just before 830 and the place was practically empty (8 people max). Upon entrance, a hostess greeted us and said that they couldn’t serve our party of 6 in the dining room. We were told it was because they “had a large party for Asian night”. I asked if we could sit at the bar, hostess said yes, bartender said no, the kitchen is closed. Sign outside said dinner ended at 9. Maybe if we came before the large party, the kitchen could have handled the job. Disappointing service, no effort was made to accommodate us as paying guests who arrived before the posted closing time. Wish I could have experienced it but will not try again and absolutely will not recommend.

Pleasant setting with good service. Somewhat limited menu. Food tended to be a tad salty. Prices were rather high. I had the halibut special but the fish was dry and the herb coating was “earthy “ , uninspiring.My wife had an appetizer for a meal, we didn’t have alcohol, and our tab was over$100.00. Not the place it was hyped up to be. Doubt that we’ll go back.
