Filet mignon and lobster
Kimmy S.

Super underwhelming and disappointing. The reason for two stars is the ambience was good with open air seating and a pretty dining area with high ceilings. This was unfortunately our least favorite meal during our time spent on the resort and by far the most expensive (which we expected but hoped the experience would match the price). For drinks we ordered one still water and one sparkling water along with a cocktail. For the waters we expected to pay for the sparkling water but the waitress (without informing us) brought out two glass bottles of Acqua Panna water (one still, one sparkling) that ended up costing us $10 and $12. Since when is a restaurant charging $10 for still water... for appetizers we ordered langosta taquitos and the bonita roll. Taquitos were fine but nothing to write home about. The Bonita roll I actually enjoyed and was probably my favorite part of the whole meal. For entrees we ordered the filet mignon and the lobster and then manchego cassava mash on the side (not pictured). The filet and lobster were fine but nothing special (and when you're paying fine dining prices you expect special - $150 for an entree with no sides). The cassava was not good and terribly under seasoned. To top it all off our waitress had a weird attitude. I can only describe it as a snooty "I'm better than you" type of attitude. We had an early reservation (5pm) and there were no other patrons in the restaurant for the first 30 or so minutes we were there and even after it never really got busy and yet we were rushed to order and then looked down upon when we didn't want dessert - just felt odd. Needless to say, would not recommend. 2 stars is honestly generous, but again added a star for the ambience.

The food was really good and my server was Chris and he was accommodating and very sweet. I would definitely return!

A beautiful open air restaurant located at the Morningstar Buoy House Hotel. A really nice menu where Mediterranean meets Caribbean. Plenty of great fish selections with some nice meat additions as well. We went with the Wagyu Steak with chimichurri sauce and it was outstanding. Great cocktails and a really solid well priced wine list.

Caribbean Lobster

ncredible. The lobster blew me away. There atmosphere was perfect. The sashimi was so fresh. Cilantro rice amazing. Worth every dollar. Our waiter, Billy, was spectacular

Caribbean lobster, corn, rice

Ate here the first night we arrived, the atmosphere is lovely, very romantic vibe. My Caribbean lobster was good. It was my birthday so they also brought out a complimentary dessert and some killer bee shots which was nice. Would come back.

Food and ambience were great. We love the service as well though the food took a hot minute to come out

Food and ambience were great. The food did take a minute to come out but overall, we enjoyed our dinner.

A friend and I visited the Dog House Pub when we were in St. Thomas and it was right on the road…read morewhere we were staying for the week. Not a super hopping area and on a street vs. the beach or anything fancy like that. We saw a chicken or two wandering around also. But the staff and food were great, so that made up for the location not being the best. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was super nice and helpful about which drinks might be good for us when we told him what flavors we were feeling. I had my first of many Island Summer Ale beers here (brewed in St. John). Served very crisp and cold in a frosty bottle. For food, I had the fish tacos (when in Rome - or on an island, in this case), along with tater tots. The tacos were tasty, with fried fish, lettuce, and a cheesy sauce on top. My friend had tacos too, but picked the beef protein, and chose the beans as her side. Her's also looked delish, so I would try those if I ever make it back that way. As we left (after dark), the bartender did us another favor. We almost got in the wrong car, thinking it was our taxi, and he ran out and grabbed us and said that was not a taxi at all! I'm not positive it would have been dangerous to get in the car, but it definitely felt like he saved us. If you're staying in the Havensight area of St. Thomas, and don't mind a sports bar style atmosphere vs. beachy vibe, then I would recommend checking out out Dog House Pub for the tacos and beer!

Loooooooove Doghouse. Between the bingo & jepordy nights, the friendly locals, and the kick-ass…read morestaff, this is one of my go-to spots on island for a strong drink and a huge crunchwrap. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, all of it is good. Even the vegetarian options. The pulled pork and the chicken wings are especially delicious. The portions here are hefty, and after a long day in the sun havin' fun, a pitstop here will ground ya for the night. Pricewise, this spot is a bargin. Its loud and can get a lil rowdy on the weekends, but otherwise a great spot to kickback and watch the game. The kitchen is open late too. Downstairs in the den there are a few lil lottery machines, a pool table and the typical dive bar essentials.

Located in downtown Red Hook. On the opposite side of the more touristy road…read more This tiki shack style place sits to the middle of a parking lot in a small strip mall. Hand down the best place to eat in the area. It's very small, but packs a punch with great customer service, cool drinks and outstanding food. Best to try and get in on their off hours to get a table without a wait. We literally ate here 4 times when we were on the island. An absolute MUST to order is their Bacon Jalapeno tater kegs! OMG-They're the bomb! Wings are decent and the burgers are juicy, flavorful and delicious! You really can't go wrong with ANYTHING on the menu. Everything is made fresh to order. The decor is island themed chaos in every fun way possible. If you happen to have to use the restroom it's located outside (customs ONLY) The key ring they'll hand you is a toilet lid! LOL You can ring in another way too! On your trip to the john, call in sick to work and stay on the island! You're enticed too by the retro phone sitting a top a keg outdoors as well. Great photo opts! Happy Hour is daily! The Love Shack offers particular deals with half-priced cocktails. We did Margs on Monday! Signature drinks include the 50oz Volcano Drink, Shark Attack, and souvenir cocktails like the Pirates Booty in a ceramic mugs. FYI- They may attach a certain creature to your glass also. Perfect vibe, casual dinning and great accommodations by the staff (for our big party) who were so friendly and professional. This is a must experience spot when visiting St Thomas.

We needed a lunch place driving from the car ferry to the airport and we thought the Red Hook area…read morewould be a bit less crowded, far from cruise ships. Duffy's provides free parking which is a rarity and right at noon, the mall lot had tons of open spots. We both ordered burgers, one with the standard fries and one with onion rings. It took a good half hour for the food to be delivered but when we got it, it was hot and cooked to our specs. Fries were crispy. Burger was thick with a nice crisp, almost tasted like a smash burger but thicker. Service was good. It was the one spot where we didn't have to pay for a refill of soda. They were playing the best music! No waitlist or host so you have to linger and wait for someone to leave if you need a table and they are full. Great stop.
