We overnighted on St. Thomas to be able to dine at Blue 11 on our way to St. John and the BVIs. It was THAT good last year! It was THAT good again this year! As noted in my last review, our plan going in was to not eat all day so we could enjoy the 11-course chefs tasting menu. So glad we did! 11 perfectly executed small plates, each one fantastic on its own, but as an almost two-hour presentation, heaven on a plate! The restaurant itself is very nice, cool bar area in the back. Nice dining area. But, counter seating is where it's at for a front row seat into the kitchen. Staff is first rate, fun, happy, on the ball! IGNORE reviews complaining about prices and portion sizes! Those are simply IGNORant folks who didn't check out the place before dining there. Blue 11 is foodie, gastro perfection. Pricey yes, small portions yes, but for those who truly appreciate fine dining and expecting a chef's talent, this is a must do in St. Thomas. Easily one of the top two or three restaurants in the USVIs! Simply outstanding! Highly recommend! read more

What a great evening at Blue 11! The entire staff is super friendly and works tirelessly to ensure a great guest experience. We opted to be "surprised" by each of our 9 courses but they also have 7 and 11 course options. Be aware that it is not an inexpensive meal but totally worth it. Despite the small serving sizes, you also do actually get quite a bit of food as we all left very satisfied. Each course was well composed, flavorful, and thoughtful in preparation. If I had to find something to be picky about it would be to have a little more texture/crunch across the menu. There were lots of unique sauces and flavor juxtapositions but most were softy and/or creamy in texture. Otherwise it was fantastic. Sit at the bar if you can so you can watch the precision and execution as they prepare your meal. Definitely a 5 star meal experience!!! read more

Absolutely fantastic! We sat at the bar so we could watch everything being made and went all out with the 11 course meal which included dessert, a homemade donut! But 11 courses wasn't too filling and allowed us to truly try everything. Everything was absolutely delicious and the staff were so kind and friendly! I wish I took more photos but honestly I was too excited to eat that I didn't stop for photos. Some of our favorites were the poached lobster, the passionfruit dish and the wahoo! We are obsessed with wahoo now! We live in NYC and have had tasting menus in NYC and Paris but this one is probably our favorite. Highly recommend! read more

We enjoyed a prix fix New Year's Eve dinner with wine pairings. Spectacular! The wines were ones we wouldn't have chosen on our own and were fabulous, especially the Napa chardonnays. The food and service was first rate with the decor reminiscent of the French bistro's we experienced in Paris. We enjoyed a $500/plate wine pairing in Rheims France, this was better for half the price! Spendy , but take a breath and just do it! read more

This was easily my best meal on St Thomas. Oh my. This food was absolutely incredible, such a creative interpretation of local cuisines, the chef is a real star. Ambiance was great, food was incredible, and the staff was extremely friendly, even giving us some new fruit picked fresh that we hadn't tried before. HIGHLY highly recommend if you're visiting read more

When we sat down we didn't know it was a 7 course tasting. We decided to stay and check out the food bc the reviews were great. I'm glad we did! It was great food and we were surprised not more folks ate here. Amazing use of Caribbean flavors with seasonal ingredients from the island. The staff was very friendly and the food was truly delicious! So glad we took a chance on this place. Best meal of our trip. read more

Talk about a paradigm shift. From the outside. we weren't sure the place was even open, then we get inside and have one of the finest meals EVER!!! The tasting menu is out of this world. 7 courses, each with artistic flare that would rival the best restaurants in NY & LA. The chef, Elroy, takes pride in his offerings. The wait staff, never missed a step and they were personable and knowledgeable. If you only had 1 night to dine in St. Thomas, make this restaurant your choice. You will not be disappointed. read more

This is one of the best dining experiences I've ever had!! The service is top notch, everyone is super friendly and informative, the vibe is nice/fancy but also really fun and chill, the wine list has a nice price range (from $30/bottle) and the food is just out of this world. Every dish we had was truly better than the last, I kept thinking they can't outdo that last bite and then they did!! It really everything you can hope for. I thought the pricing was very fair as well at $131 for 11 courses that were a good size for this type of meal. If you are in the area and can stop by you won't be disappointed! *online it might say no availability but if you call you can usually get in read more

Not too bad. Not too bad at all... In actuality, this is true, gourmet, Caribbean cuisine- and the first time we've ever experienced such a thing. Who knew... So let's start with the food. It's a Chef's tasting menu- and that's part of the fun. You can choose the number of courses you want to indugle in, and go from there. In terms of faves, that butter poached halibut- a crowd pleasure and a guaranteed winner. I've never tasted anything like it- in a good way. So, so creative... I mean all of the dishes we had were at least tasty... so a good culinary experience all-around. But now on to the not so perfect part of the experience. Starting with the ambiance... Not so high-end. Not so great. The service- a bit too casual. A bit too efficient. And why don't you have menus? That's just plain stupid. And finally, the price. Even with 9 courses, we weren't necessarily that full. But you wouldn't be able to tell based on the check. Crazy expensive. We don't regret going though. It's nice to fancy-pants it on an island every now and again. But you're gonna pay for it. read more

It has been a long time since Ive been able to do a proper tasting, and I'm glad Blue 11 was able to accommodate us. The menu changes so pay attention as they will list out all courses we had a choice of a 7, 9, or 11 course tasting. We both did a 9 course tasting, which was enough for me to be full. The cuisine is absolutely exquisite, most of the dishes were a Caribbean inspired/ deconstructed version elevated to the max. Everything from the plating to even the smallest of accompaniments on the plate were perfectly executed. An interesting dish that i wont forget was a halibut with foamed cassava and passionfruit butter, one of the most perfectly balanced and plate-licking delicious dish I have ever had. Hands down one of the best restaurants I have been to. Just a note, the tastings are quite expensive at the time of this review (~$120 for a 9 course per person) but the bold and unique flavors that this place boasts would put any foodie on cloud nine. The plates are quite small, so i would recommend at least a 9 course to get a full meal. If we ever visit St. Thomas again, I will be returning here without a doubt. read more

Most amazing food experience by far. Great way to enjoy Caribbean food. We ordered the nine course but wish I had ordered the 11! Every dish was excellent. So fresh seafood and the chef made incredible pairing with the flavors! AMAZING! read more

A hidden gem! This is place for foodies! We had the nine course dinner with wine pairings and it was just wonderful. Sitting at the counter, we had such an epicurean experience. Each course was presented like artwork, with detailed explanations of the food and pairing. The passion and pride that goes into the food comes out in the flavors of each dish. They love what they do here! Absolutely worth the price! read more

Do not miss Blue 11 it is a must to do in St.Thomas. Experience of a lifetime. You will want to lick the plate and feel free to do so! Every plate was as spectacular as the next. Chef Benjy is an outstanding Chef and artist for sure. The hospitality is impeccable! Service is amazing! The restaurant is so inviting you feel like home with a romantic vibe. Sit at the counter and watch the magic as they prepare your meal! You will not walk away hungry! I can not say enough good things about this restaurant. If you miss this one you have missed the totally taste and experience of the true Carribean in St. Thomas read more

Food fine Portion sizes were much too small regardless if it is considered tapas or a "tasting menu" Ordered seven course meal ... it took more than one (1) hour for the first two (2) courses and three (3) plus hours for the full meal. I believe I burned more calories waiting for food than eating food. I am 100% ok with the caribbean vibe and low key approach. I am not ok with the price for seven morsels of food over three plus hours. I wish the best for anyone who decides to take a chance at the restaurant. read more

We made reservations for June 25th at 7:00 pm and nobody was in the restaurant. The lights were off and the doors were locked. This was one of the things we were looking forward to on our honeymoon and they disappointed. There was no heads up that they were closed. Would not recommend. read more

We came here for our 46th anniversary. It was an amazing experience. They played music celebrating and honoring anniversaries. We were presented with a card from the staff wishing us happy anniversary. Our server also presented us with a complimentary glass of Champagne and toast! The cuisine was fabulous spotlighting local and indigenous fruits, vegetables and dishes of the Caribbean. The menu offers a two tasting sampler offerings at a flat rate or you can order from the menu à la cart. We did the à la cart menu since to us it was more affordable. We shared a Whelks & Rice appetizer, I had the filet mignon medallions with a guavaberry sauce, my husband had the Wagu Beef Short Ribs. We shared the dessert a. Beignet.with local favor ice cream and sauce. Our dishes were delicious especially the short ribs & appetizer. We asked to meet the Chef to express our delight and appreciation for the marvelous dinner and celebration of our 46th anniversary. He came before we left and we were able to thank him personally for a memorable experience. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice and the staff was most welcoming and hospitable. We highly recommend for that special occasion , be aware this was an Expensive $$$$$, undertaking for us but worth the saving up for ! read more

This island gem forced me to elevate my thinking about what a Michelin restaurant should be. The tasing menu was delicious from start to finish without the stuffiness and judgement of what a typical Michelin is judged upon. Wine paired very well with every dish. Chef ensures local staples are incorporated in the flavors. Rising above any restaurant at which I have ever eaten. The restaurant walls and finishings are taken back to bare bones so the that the focus is on the food and not the "shine" of the space. Well placed artwork and an artistic mural warms the space. I wanted to "help" give advice about how to get them to Michelin status but then realized that is far away from what they are aiming for here...Blue 11 stands alone with what they accomplish here on the islands.... they achieved far beyond what Michelin could ever imagine...or rate. Very very very well done...although you will never need my yelp review. Some may not get it no matter how clearly you present it and I am sure that is very ok with you and maybe even revered. read more

Food was amazing! We had the 7 course plan and sat at bar. The service was excellent and staff were engaging and very informative of the selections they created. I would highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back! Dan and Lisa read more

Blue 11 - Love it so much I made this collage to remember - Seafood Near Me - Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands

We had an amazing experience at Blue Eleven... ordered the eleven course tasting menu and each item was delicious, innovative, and beautifully presented. As other reviewers note this is easily up there with Michelin restaurant cuisine we have had and has all the trappings of high end French cuisine with a strong influence of the local/regional Caribbean flavors. Service was friendly and attentive and the wines the staff recommended were on point. Will definitely return next time we visit the USVI! read more

Best taste among all restaurants in St Thomas and St John combined. It is a tasting-style, similar to Omakase, which is serving by courses. You got to pick 7/9/11 courses. Expected $110-140 per person at minimum, but definitely worth the price. The restaurant isn't that pretty... but the taste is amazing. Blue 11 is really good at making sauces. Have tried same Tuna tartar at La Tapas and Cabernet mushroom at Prime at Paradise point, not even comparable. Blue 11 definitely worths #1 in my heart. read more

Absolutely incredible. My fiancé and I came here the night of the day that I proposed to her. They made us a card to celebrate the occasion. That's just a testament to the incredible service and hospitality that the staff and resturant exhibit as a whole. For the food, we did the 11 course tasting menu and it was immaculate. My fiancé and I are no strangers to fine dining. We live near Los Angeles, California and dine at many Michelin star resturant. Blue 11 easily ranks among the best 2 star Michelin resturants. The food Progression during the tasting menu is thoughtful and pairs flavors that contrast excellently with the content of each meal. For example, one of the dishes was a friend flying fish with mango and sweet gastritis sauce. The acidity of the mango and gastritis cut through the fatty oils of the fried fish and just made a heavenly medley of flavor and textures in our mouths. If you are looking for a unique dining experience reminiscent of Michelin caliber resturants, then look no further than Blue 11! read more

If you enjoy a high end tasting menu, then I highly recommend visiting Blue 11 for an evening adventure. They have a 7, 9 and 11 course tasting menu. I selected 9 with wine pairings. It. Was. Amazing! The food, pairings, service and music made the evening magical. If you're in the area and want a truly special treat, check out this restaurant. read more

Wow wow!! Grateful we had the chance to have dinner at this beautiful restaurant. The servers and whole kitchen staff were amazing. Very knowledgeable and passionate about what they are serving. I can confidently say, this is the first tasting menu I've had that I wanted nothing but more. Each dish is well thought out and has a wonderful story behind it. Short rib and halibut dishes were my favorite but the rest come in a close second. Highly recommend getting the 11 dishes. read more

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! This is a must do experience when in St. Thomas. On recommendation, my husband and I decided to have dinner at Blue 11. The chefs story is great and the reviews were high. We were blown away! You can choose up to 11 courses, we chose 9. Fabulous food!! My favorite was the butter poached halibut in a casava foam w/guava. Words cannot describe the amazing taste. The food was wonderful and the staff give a wonderful experience. read more

Overall experience was great. Service was on point and the waiters didn't wast anytime on getting to you. The time between each dish is just enough so the taste of what you just ate is gone so the pallet is clear for something else. The food doesn't seem like a lot but by time you hit number 7 you will start feeling a little full. Drinks were great they were not watered down and wasn't to strong where it seems like the flavor is out the door and all you have is rum in a cup. Now for the food. Overall it was awesome. Everything was cooked properly with no problems. The spicy jerked chicken was as said spicy and full of flavor. Every dish had its own unique flavors and sauces. read more

WOW Can't say enough about it. The food is absolutely amazing. The experience provided by Jerry, Moses & the Chef was out of this world. They put together a great tasting menu. Best food we've ever had. Check them out for a special night out! You can make reservations on open table. read more

Chef Benji has created one of the best tasting and most unique food experiences I've had the pleasure of taking part in. My partner and I went here for our anniversary and decided to do the 11 course meal. It was absolutely worth doing 11 courses. The food is absolutely delicious and each course that was offered had its own unique flavors. They were also able to cater to any dietary requests we had, and they were able to make every course gluten free upon request. The staff is amazing, if possible try to sit at the chef's counter as you can interact with the staff much more and they'll tell you details about each dish. The restaurant is gorgeous and takes extra care to ensure that the guests have a pleasurable fine dining experience. One of my favorite dining experiences ever, this is a must-go if visiting the island. read more

The best place on earth. Sit at the cooks counter and watch the action. It's ne of the best three meals I have had.

One of the best dinning experiences I've ever had. They had the option of a 7 or 9 course meal tonight and we went with the 7. They gave us complimentary non alcoholic shots filled with minerals and good vitamins to start. We got a bottle of whispering angel. The service was phenomenal. I definitely recommend sitting at the bar instead of at a table to see them cook and interact. The courses were all 11/10 and the pictures speak for themselves. Absolutely amazing meal and experience. read more

Absolutely incredible, and the service was amazing. Merry Christmas to the crew and wish the best to the chef!

Absolutely wonderful meal that was worth every penny. I'm still daydreaming about every dish. We travel for food, that's what makes us happy, and afterward my wife and I were trying to figure out when the last time we had ever had a meal this well prepared, and we're still thinking on that answer. The scallop was without question perfectly cooked. What's also amazing is that they will work with dietary restrictions and still provide an amazing experience. The table next to us was vegetarian, and we couldn't eat raw meat (tuna tartare was the first course) and they adapted to both of those restrictions well. The ambience is nothing notable but who cares when the food tastes like this. read more

Woa woa woa If Michelin came to the USVI, this restaurant would definitely get a star or two. Every dish in our 7 course tasting menu was amazing! Creative, fresh, dare I say: Brilliant. The ambiance could use some help, but the staff is equal to the task and our experience was lovely. This is an expensive night out, but well worth the price. read more

Wow! Simply amazing and in my opinion a "can't miss" stop while visiting. First, I want to address a few of the negative comments 1 either portions have gotten larger or some people eat A LOT OF FOOD at one sitting. I had the 7 course and left stuffed! Couldn't finish dessert. We got to know the staff, spoke with kindness and really felt a connection with everyone that worked there. Maybe kindness kills and that made a difference. Of course they have a kitchen, how else could they cook?! No, I'm not a food critic but I do know good food. It's not McDonald's so no fry station or microwave if that's what your looking for. They do now have an à la cart menu as well as the tasting menu. The food is top notch! If you're a foodie, you've found your place, if you like chain restaurants keep driving. They are all chefs, not cooks. Every bite we had was amazing, the food and service was some of the best we've ever had. Oh yes, one other negative review feedback, they do indeed have an indoor ladies restroom, very clean and nice tp read more
