Had dinner here on our first night of vacation. Short walk down the hill from the Westin. Our food was great. Very pretty, quiet. Service was excellent and so were the cocktails.

World class view! Right on the beach. Menu is fairly small. we had conch critters for appetizer, and salads with jerk chicken very good but very pricey. drinks were most expensive we have seen in our multiple trips to St. Thomas. View is worth it.

Nice atmosphere and the food was tasty; however, on my reservation I indicated that we were celebrating a birthday so to surprise the individual and the server never inquired about this before, during or after the dinner.

Service was major slow due to special event. Lots of items on menu not available. The curry didn’t come close to resembling a curry. Chicken was extremely dry.

Stunning ocean front setting. Nice staff. Varied menu. Food was average. An example, the beef patty on burger was very hard and appeared pre-cooked, or very overcooked.

Everything at the restaurant was nice; however, with it being an open outdoor area, there was a slight stench when the wind blew and the flies were bothersome.

We are foodies and the food here was outstanding. We sat at a table right next to the ocean. It was amazing at sunset. Service was great. Would highly recommend. Like anywhere near the water at sunset, wear bug spray if the mosquitoes like you. We both had NY strip that was cooked perfectly with curry mashed potatoes. Will definitely return if we go to St Thomas again

Prices was outrageous. The menu did not provide enough varieties. And all was ruined by the constant sewage stench blowing up our nostrils. And finally the light brought flies and bugs into our food and very expensive drinks!

Wenn be know they recently opened, and the atmosphere is amazing, but we were underwhelmed by the food. The choices were not that great, and the two appetizers we ordered were over breaded with not much taste. This is a beautiful place, and the staff was amazing though!

We ate here several times while staying at the resort. The food was delicious and served in a timely manner. The only negative I would say is there was some inconsistency with the food. Items that were said to be served with fries would be served with fries once and then chips and salsa the next time I had the entree. Breakfast was great - highly recommend the French toast.

Lots of little issues (example serving the wrong person chicken vs shrimp with an allergy at the table. Tried to order kids meals to come out quicker… still took an hour. Growing pains as they are trying to get up and running. Need some training. Staff is friendly and wine friendly as good ☺️).

The restaurant is beautiful but still very new and working through the kinks. Almost half of the menu items were out of stock, to the point where there wasn’t anything for our group to be able to order. Will be beautiful when up and running more and needs a wider menu selection.

Good afternoon @KylieG, Thank you for the review and your comments, embarrassed about the "working out the kinks" but assure you that we are doing all that we can to address this. I hope to you soon and assure you the kinks will be sorted!

Service was outstanding. Wait staff very attentive. Conch fritters full of meat, not just filling. Jerk chicken sandwich tasty but a little messy. Only drawback was they only took credit cards. Not set up for cash transactions. View can't be beat.

Thank you for the comments @CaliGirl, Staff, food and even a little messy we love to hear. Heard you on the Cashless hotel and will look to evaluate this. Appreciate all the comments and hope to see you again soon!
