We had the most fantastic time at Karma Beach Club! First off the place is aesthetically beautiful I'm sure I took atleast 50 pictures of the atmosphere alone. We arrived and were quickly seated with a stunning ocean view. We all ordered The Karma Roll which is Chefs Choice- each roll was unique and delicious! The spring rolls were equally delicious! This is a must try in Saint John! Don't leave the island without visiting here!

As soon as you walk up, you have an option to sit out on the beach, bar or a beautiful open setting sitting. The atmosphere and nature all around you definitely makes the vacation that much worth it! I got myself a fish of the day (wahoo) ceviche. Fresh, tender and absolutely refreshing! There's so many options and with labels if you have restrictions. My server Francisco was an absolute delight. Made me feel welcomed, no rush and great genuine connection. Definitely made me want to come back!! If you're looking for a really nice spot, awesome atmosphere, Karma is a must go to.

I visited Karma Beach Lounge with some friends and family while we were in town, and overall, I had a good experience; though there were a few things that kept it from being great. We came just for drinks since we had already eaten lunch, and I honestly wish we'd gone here first. The food menu looked really good with a lot of dishes I would've loved to try. Definitely something I'm keeping in mind for next time ( menu's definitely on the pricier side though) As for the drinks, they were really good, strong and well-mixed ; no complaints there. The only downside was that a few drinks we tried to order weren't available because they were out of some ingredients. That led to us switching to back up choices a couple of times, which was a little let down. Service was on the slower side, but I'll give them grace it didn't look really staffed at the time. They were doing their best, but the wait was noticeable. The best part was the ambiance. The lounge has a great setup with beautiful views and stylish decor. It's definitely a relaxing place to hang out. Even with the hiccups, I'd still recommend it. I plan to come back and actually try the food next time.

Espresso martini & a salvation spritz

This was a phenomenal experience. We got off the ferry in St John and knew what beach we wanted to hit but didn't know where we wanted to eat! Stomachs were touching our ribs. So we followed some folks and landed at the inlet that led us to Karma. The ambiance was amazing. Fit our aesthetic preference perfectly - clean, outside seating that's covered, and a nice Afro house playlist that's uptempo. The sushi roll was fantastic. My beautiful date ate most of it. I said dang! Can I have some? The beer battered fish was fresh and not heavy. This is why I love island food. None of the processed seafood, mostly fresh. I appreciate that. The fries slapped too. The chicken tacos were also very good. No complaints, no edits with the food. The drinks? MAN, the spritzes were my choices. Loved them. Made with love and was super refreshing as a cucumber ginger type of drink at midday. The perfect hybrid between wellness and litness This will be our go-to lunch spot when we're back in St John. As always, the beautiful company made this dining experience even better ‍

Not sure if we came on a bad day but they were pretty much out of a lot of stuff, including on the lunch menu. We ended up having to order on the regular menu, which was a huge bummer because we chose this place because we looked at the menu prior. Some of our food wasn't the greatest but they did have a good poke bowl. It is very pricey but I am assuming you're paying for the location. Our service was good and the waitress was very nice. Beautiful place and great views. The menus were very cool - they had a light inside of them.

More sushi yum

Our host was amazing! The food was top notch and the chefs choice sushi box was one of the best experiences I had ever seen! The beach vibes were close to touch even the restroom was super cool! I wanted to meet the chef but he didn't come out maybe next time we come back to ST John's.

Inside! Very cute

So tbh we didn't actually eat here but there was a lot of promise. Wed been walking around quite a while and stopped to peak at the menu. The lunch menu had some simple options we were interested in, but it was dinner time and after we were seated we were told they didn't have those options. My mother has a shellfish allergy and we were told that because they'd been using the same fry oil for the shellfish she wouldn't be able to eat anything fried. She wanted chicken wings so unfortunately we ended up leaving, but appreciated they told us up front. Liked the ambiance a LOT - it's right on the bay where the passenger docs come in. Very modern, open airy decor. There were some folks smoking nearby because it's all outside which I actually really disliked so be aware of that but otherwise I think it would be a cute dinner/date spot. Last note - they had a menu with a backlight I've never seen that before!

Spice spice baby roll, rise of the sun roll, cruise bay roll

BEST SUSHI EVER. I'm so obsessed and sad that I won't be able to have these rolls back home. If you take a day trip to St. John this is definitely a go to place for drinks and sushi.

Creamy espresso martini
Erin B.

First visit - after dinner drinks - espresso martinis were amazing! Ambiance at the bar was awesome. Great bartender, attentive service. We plan to come back for sushi and more cocktails! This would be a five star review except for the fact that, when we asked to close our tab, the bartender said, "$74." Ok. Woah. That seems like a lot for 3 drinks but, ok. I did a quick google search - does Karma Lounge include automatic gratuity? Yep. Yep. It does. So when we were given the credit card slip it said $74 PLUS a line for a tip. Kind of shady. We never saw the original bill. The $74 included a 20% gratuity but we were never told that or shown that on a bill. So, heads up, I guess.

Dynamite sushi bowl
Robert F.

Upscale waterfront dining and drinking in Cruz Bay. We sat at the bar and the staff was engaging and friendly. We tried the sushi bowl and I was impressed. Fresh and tasty with perfectly blended flavors. Great place to relax after a day exploring the island!

Dessert

The ambience of this place is wonderful. Beautiful restaurant with lovely view. G was our waiter and he was awesome doing all he could to serve us. The food was tasty we have the snapper which should have been deboned the wahoo was great and the sushi was delicious. However they brought it all out at different times. Many of us were done eating before others even started. And the prices were definitely steep. But overall lovely experience.

The spacious dining area with a great happy hour and dinner menu comes out at 5:00. We got there for the lunch menu and were glad we did because we got sandwiches which were great. Candidly, nothing on the dinner menu blew our minds. The tuna sandwich with wasabi and arugula was fantastic, and the tuna was prepared perfectly! We also got shrimp tacos that were better than the sandwich for what it's worth. Our server, who didn't give us her name, was sweet and attentive and even brought a cask of water without us asking. At the end of the day, High Tide delivered as advertised. Three last thoughts if you've read this far: Park at the MVD and walk; it's not that far and free. Get the Key Lime Pie; it was outstanding but pretty typical of the area. Lastly, stop at the merch store and grab a t-shirt, which are some of the best I've seen so far!

We arrived a bit ahead of schedule, so we opted for the bar and had a couple of cocktails. Nice speciality cocktail list, decent wine list. I normally make a few observations about our server, but I cannot in this review because we didn't really have a server. Service was chaotic,some times the waiter, some times the bartender, some times the manager, some times the hostess... it was a circus, with us having to repeat orders already given to another staff member because there was no communication between the staff.... It wasn't crowded, the restaurant was only about 50% full. The service chaos often resulted in dirty dishes left on the table for 15-20 minutes. We were also told at 8:30pn "the kitchen is closing is 15 minutes"... the restaurant is open until 10:00pm! Comical... so the food was rushed out, I assume, in time for them to lock the doors at 10:00pm. The food was decent enough, but the quality of the food didn't make up for the incoherent system of service. The service was a real downer, tough to justify the prices when we're just a party of two and the staff was fully engaged in entertaining other large tables. The food was good, but we don't need to go back. For the price, much better places on the island!

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.

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.
