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

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.

I ordered the Coco Berry Cream ($12.37) which was slightly sweet and refreshing with berry and coconut flavors. I also got three tacos ($19.59) served with tomato, onion, jalapenos, and cheese. The tacos were flavorful and the ingredients tasted fresh, especially with their house salsa on the side. I also grabbed a bottle of water ($3.09). One thing to note is that 18% gratuity is automatically added to all checks, which is common on the island. Also the billl is slightly less if pay by cash. They also had some interesting specials posted like two pork belly tacos with rice and beans for $22, and margaritas like a Spicy Pomegranate Lunazul Margarita ($15) and Orange Cranberry Margarita ($13). Overall, the food was tasty, the atmosphere was fun, and the service was smooth.

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!

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.

The answer is last year the service was bad and what's more it was becoming more and more difficult to get a table. Less employees and they were either not capable or not interested enough to help the customers properly. Although they never allowed reservations, when you went there, they would tell you that they would call you or text you when it's available. Last year they didn't allow that. It just was a pain in the neck. It gets to be a point when the restaurant, although they need to make money, they could also lose loyalty. On the upside, I started going to Sun Dog instead, which I now LOVE. What's more? I'm also now going to THE LIME IN for what I consider great unusual tacos. When you're ready to allow reservations, I would strongly consider coming again, but the fact the matter is what I loved is no longer what I used to love You possibly could bring me back because I'm here for six weeks every year, but as of now, until you change, all I can say is Adios amigo

As someone who didn't exactly grow up in the water, that was easier said than done. I even had a floatie for assistance, but it didn't inspire much confidence. It was the longest two minutes of my life. To make matters even more exciting, the water was pretty choppy that day. To be clear, this is completely a "me" problem and not a reflection of the establishment at all. I just hope that one day there's an easier option for land-loving odd ducks like myself to enjoy the experience without convincing ourselves we're about to become part of a maritime rescue operation. Once we made it, though, it was absolutely worth it. We ordered a couple of margaritas that were fresh, strong, and delicious. I had the Spiced Tuna Taco and my wife ordered the Shrimp Taco. We absolutely inhaled them. I would've happily ordered several more rounds if I hadn't been mentally preparing for the swim back to the shuttle. The vibe was fun, energetic, and laid-back. Being from St. Louis, it was a happy coincidence that they were playing Nelly and Chingy all afternoon, which made me feel oddly at home. All in all, this was a stellar experience, and I would absolutely go back. I may just want to log a few more hours of swimming practice first.

Cute spot located in a strip mall on the island…read more Really clean inside. We were only one of two couples dining in. We decided to sit at the high top chairs up at the bar. Server was engaging and fairly attentive. Seems it was only her and a cook working in the back. Ordered the Queso Con Carne with Chips. We also ordered the Taquitos with Beef & a side of refried beans. Unfortunately, it was not at all what we expected in terms of what we have in our city. Very bland for the most part. The queso dip had a greasing meat concoction on top. The best thing was the taquitos, had a little bit more flavor. The accompaniments: Guacamole was definitely not homemade, store bought. The pico was fresh extremely chunky, but not much of it. The refried beans were absolutely tasteless. This was not a memorable meal and not a place we would suggest to other people when visiting the island.

Great and clean location. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very fun and interesting…read more Shrimp bowl- tasted great the shrimp was seasoned and I could actually taste the lime that was squeezed on there (great zesty flavor). The rice was well cooked and the beans was flavorful. There was some kind of white sauce or something on there but it was bland and I wasn't sure what it was so I just put it aside. Steak bowl- tasty, seasoned (not just pepper and salt) with some rubs and was cooked perfectly. Was not chew and was not dry. It was surprising.
