The hotel's acclaimed Mafolie Restaurant offers an enticing dinner menu of island favorites including Kalalloo Soup, Starfruit Drizzled Mango Avacado Salad, and locally caught seafood and Fresh Caribbean Lobster and Caribbean twists on classic dishes, like Jerk Chicken Arancini.

Our reputation and island flavor didn't happen over night. Our establishment began in the 1970s and continues to evolve with changing tastes.

The Mafolie Restaurant truly doesn't have a bad seat in the house. Our expansive view is on full display from every seat in our open air restaurant deck. Enjoy a refreshing Dark and Stormy at the bar and feel free to lounge before taking a seat with a Caribbean appetite.

    The mango kale salad is quite tasty. 2 of our party had the on tails which were tender and yummy. The bbq ribs were outstanding. The jerk sauce sooo good. The coconut cake is a winner.

    Excellent island and additional cuisine. Their website is not current as to thr menu shown, but the actual menu is even better! Service was perfect. Rosie, our server, was very personable and attentive. In addition to a wonderful restaurant, it truly does have the best views of the city and bay. We do suggest you take taxi there as parking is very limited. We dine here everytime we come to St Thomas, going back 43 years and it still has the same charm and superb cuisine. Highly recommend!

    Mafolie is been one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte Amelia for local Caribbean cuisine. Food is always good and a nice change from the typical tourist fare - the Mahi and Sapper are not to be missed but the oxtail is another great choice. The view overlooking the city and harbor is breathtaking and makes the drive worth it.

    We were shocked to see a menu change but Steven the owner is trying everything to bring you a new experience with the best view on the island. My wife and shared some of our favorite dishes that brings us back multiple times year after year. Stephen listened to us and changed the menu. That should tell you what kind of guy he is and what he would do for his guests. They brought back happy hour which is great with small bites perfect time about the time you would be checking into your room. All I can say is give them a try you won’t be disappointed. All the staff makes you feel like you are apart of their family

    Shrimp cocktail appetizer; filet cooked to perfection at medium rare (no sauces needed), the pumpkin puree was delightful; jerk salmon with a light cream jerk sauce; seasoned steamed vegetables; cocktails were very good (dark and stormy and Voodoo) The view of the harbor at sunset it outstanding. Service was as though we were her only customers.

    Mafolie Restaurant has been a family favorite for years. Our most recent dinner was a great experience as always. The flank steaks were perfect, and the appetizer garlic bread was a big hit with my daughter. Our server was accommodating and attentive and, although we dined early, the restaurant filled quickly with the dinner crowd. The view is truly breathtaking. Although the service team has changed over the years, the restaurant has always been consistently good and a gem. Would definitely recommend!

    Been a long time resident and patron. Hadn't been in awhile as food was disappointing last few times. This visit also. Callalloo still amazing. Salmon - 2 of us - was absolutely destroyed with blackening and overcooking. Snapper also overcooked. Server, Too(something) was fantastic. Bar could use some upper shelf liquors. Best tequilas were Patron and Milagro. Would be great to update the even the bar alone to make a great happy hour spot. Amazing view and front of house staff. Food needs work.

    The service was island slow and disappointing since they never checked on us to see what we might need. The seared mahi was cooked as if it were a pork chop, over done by any reasonable standard. No one stopped over to see how the food was. The side lobster was not a small lobster but rather pieces of lobster chopped up and mixed with filler. And during our meal we could not get their pet cat away from our table - unless things improve dramatically I would encourage you to find another restaurant as there are so many to choose from.

    Amazing customer service! Staff was great, friendly and had good recommendations. It was surprisingly slow the night we dined in which made me surprised that the most anticipated portion of my dinner, the fungi, did not taste fresh. It was very hard and dark in color….not as it typically served. My snapper was very good! Amazing views and ambiance.

    Ambience was great with a view unmatched. However our server did not check in at all until the bill was paid. Never asked how our meal was, which by the way was not very good. My Red Snapper was way below expectations. Skin should have been removed as it was hard. Wife’s steak subpar and my daughters Linguini had way too much wine.
