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

It’s one of the best on island and it never disappoints. V, the bartender, is just the best. Lively, great mixologist with the best energy and fun conversation. Always nice to have a cocktail with her first before being seated! Dinner was very good. By 8, they ran out of the Beef Curry but I smelled that last order being made, and I could appreciate why it was 86ed! My tuna was perfection beautifully prepared and served with wasabi mashed potatoes. Dessert - a peanut butter /chocolate miracle- was good enough to lick the plate. I made sure to make a family reservation in December so we don’t miss out!

Fine Dining with an Italian Twist

The fragrance of freshly baked bread. The aroma of Italian herbs. The soft glow of moonlight cascading over the Great Bay. This is Alloro, where fine dining transports you to Sicily by way of St. Thomas.

Enjoy locally sourced seafood, imported prosciutto and a superb wine selection at this elevated Italian restaurant.
