My husband, Bruce and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary with dinner at Lanai. We had made a reservation for 7pm on a Sunday night because I saw on a St. Thomas social media group that reservations are recommended. We arrived on time and we were seated right away. We had plenty of time to look over the menu and decide what we wanted and when our server, Sam made it to our table she apologized for the wait and explained that she was the only server working. We didn't mind since we're on vacation and not in a rush. We placed our drink, appetizer and dinner order. Bruce ordered the red sangria which wasn't quite sweet enough for his liking but he still enjoyed it. I inquired about a combo Strawberry Daiquiri/Pina Colada which Sam said they could make but only in one blender which was fine by me. My drink was out of this world delicious! Our appetizers came out quickly and we enjoyed both the roasted cauliflower and the edamame which was also roasted and seriously the best edamame I have ever had!!! The night just kept getting better when our dinner arrived. Not only did it look beautiful, the taste was epic! Bruce got the "fish and chips" and his potatoes (chips) were so good he didn't even ask for ketchup. He said his fish was great and it even came with a little side salad. I got the stir fry with tofu and it was out of this world!!! The portion was huge too and I couldn't finish it. As Sam said my mouth said yes but my tummy said no lol We are hoping to make it back to Lanai during the day to see the views and have more epic food but our time here is short and there are several restaurants we still want to try. We highly recommend Lanai for vegans, pescatarians and meat eaters alike!! read more

Wasn't expecting too much from this restaurant but i was genuinely surprised. Lots of flavor for just a salad. Poached egg was cooked perfectly and chicken had a punch of flavor. They mentioned it was a "yuzu" Caesar dressing but it tasted like a normal Caesar dressing to be honest. Would recommend this dish and restaurant! read more

Lanai - Kale Caesar by ocean view - $18 - Bars Near Me - St. Thomas, Virgin Islands

Lanai is a mis-match of ambiance and food. What you're eating here is very high quality pan pacific fusion in a beach bar atmosphere. I have nothing against the casual vibe of the place but after having front row seats to a almost bar fight and watching one of the dudes rip off his watch and sunglasses and throw that into the bar, (ok, I guess free entertainment is also provided), I'd prefer to enjoy this yumminess without wondering if my hubby and I have to move to avoid the commotion. Another yelper commented that its loud here, and yes it is, its noise generated by intoxicated patrons having a good time. Moving onto the food: I'll preface my review of the poke by saying I was born and raised in Hawaii on the original stuff.... this came quite close for me. "Poke" is a Hawaiian verb that means "to slice" or "section" this poke was more like minced or mushed up with seaweed salad. Portioning is also very small....and for $18 I'll say the chef needs to chunk up the pieces a bit. The Red Coconut Curry Mussels ($16) are delicioso! Whatever sauce concoction that is, is plate licking good, and you get a generous amount of mussels. The Thai chicken wings ($12) are yummy and are on steroids, seriously they were THE largest drums and wings I've ever had, makes me think it could be another larger bird like a turkey! The Kalua Pig lettuce wraps ($12) were more pig pig then wrap. It's a decent dish but don't be skimpy with the lettuce if your going to give out a huge portion of pig. We only got 3 pieces of lettuce and polished off the rest with forks. Lastly the duck taco ($6) was only one soft taco, I think there should be at least 2 so you can increase the price, but it was a yummy combination of sweet, salty and creamy all at once. Advice to management: 1) Increase the prices of drinks so ppl can't get wasted as fast and decrease the prices of food so they'll eat! 2) Get some kind of bouncer or security, the bartenders are swamped with customers and don't have time to break up bar fights. 3) Serve cocktails in real glasses not plastic. Your dinning plates and bowls are so beautiful then you give me a sangria in a solo plastic cup? Lanai is a good addition to the food scene out here which is pretty basic, it reminds me of all of the yummy food back home in Hawaii. A little bit of #Hawaii in #St.Thomas #USVI read more

Stumbled across Lanai for lunch - nice drinks, fresh fish, and amazing views from the shaded outdoor patio. The food wasn't anything to write home about (although still good!), but the views are definitely worth coming for. read more

Not worth the trip just for the view. First of all Do not book before 5:00 5;30 for dinner because the sun glares in your face and their shades are in adequate. Also It is very clicky everyone from the Limetree resort goes there and they are unfriendly to outsiders. We had a reservation but could not sit there, because of the sun, then a maître d' told us we had to leave after an hour because they had another reservation (for lime tree people) and rush us through dinner, which ruined the experience. Find somewhere else to go. read more

Great dinner and atmosphere right on the beach. Beautiful view of sunset. Happy hour had good selections and a few good deals to be found. Food was very good and reasonably priced. read more

Lanai - Tuna poke bowl - Bars Near Me - St. Thomas, Virgin Islands

We stayed at the Lime Tree resort and this was a very convenient for a dinner after a long day exploring the island. We just had a simple dinner (salad and fish) and it was very good. The service was also great as were the cocktails. Prices were comparable to other places on the island. All and all a great little restaurant with a great view of the carribean sea. read more

We had two amazing meals at Lanai in the past two weeks. Lunch was amazing- bowls, salads, tacos, etc. The staff was attentive and the food was delicious. Today we returned for brunch (that French toast!!!) and bottomless mimosas. Again, flawless. And the view is terrific! read more

Great salmon and tuna poke bowls, shrimp fried rice, potato chips, pork belly and fish tacos

What a great location and so close to home. The atmosphere is casual and they have a fantastic rear projection big screen which is great to watch the game. It's not loud and you can actually hear the wave crashing on the beach. I ordered the roasted duck taco and the ahi tuna taco. They are fantastic especially the duck. Try them and you won't be disappointed. My wife had the bacon cheeseburger on a brioche bun and it was excellent. Perfectly cooked, and quite large. The homemade chips are great as well. They are brand new to this location so we will see if they adjust prices and tweak the menu but you must go check it out. Brunch and breakfast look great as well. I posted the entire menu on here so have a peek. We cannot wait to go back and try other things! read more

The Lanai has been under new management for the past few months. They are certainly close to Michelin quality with their food quality and presentation ! The wait-staff was equally as awesome! You don't have to travel far if you're staying at LimeTree resort and if you're not staying ... the food is definitely worth read more

Stayed at the Limetree Resort and ate here a few times during my stay. Each meal was hit or miss. The tropical acai bowl was so bad I could not eat it. The french toast and chicken tacos also were not great but good enough for me to finish the meal. At the same time, the burger, chicken sandwich, salads, steak taco, avocado taco, and waffles were delicious. The menu isn't very conducive to being gluten-free flexible. The restaurant does not have gluten-free bread. The only options are the salads, the tacos (but you have to specially ask for corn tortillas), and some of the bowls. If you are celiac, you should double check cross-contamination. There is a great variety of cocktails and we enjoyed every drink we had. The bartenders are great. The service is decent, most of the staff is new and every server had to check with the chef before being able to answer any questions about the food. They are extremely friendly though and try their best to accommodate. The view is beautiful with a nice oceanside breeze though. read more

I enjoyed the food here but the service waa just very very slow & it took a long time to get our orders started read more

Lanai - pacific stir fry - Bars Near Me - St. Thomas, Virgin Islands

Service was friendly and expected. Food was good as well. I would say the highlight of the dishes among the family was the nachos. It had a good balance of spice and flavor. The site fry was the next best thing because the chef really knew how to put some wok hay in it with that smokey flavor of traditional Chinese wok cooking. The fish and chips were somehow soggy on the inside and the poke bowl was underwhelming compared to ones in my home area. In summary, good service, nice location, and would definitely try the nachos and stir fry. read more

September 13 and18, 2021 - Four of us went for dinner. There is plenty of parking and from there it's a short well lit walk. Once there go up a few steps or use the ramp. The chicken fingers are good and the agave mustard is tasty. The Yuza Caesar salad has a flavorful different style dressing. We added shrimp which were perfectly grilled. The grilled tuna special was enjoyed by all of us. The pork belly taco was fabulous. So delicious we are already planning to return! For dessert, we recommend the peanut butter pie. It looked like the plate was licked clean. Yes, we liked it so much that we went back and ate dinner there again!! The 2nd time we had several of the specials of the day which were explained by the waitress and were on a sign out front too. The food, once again, was absolutely delicious. I also had the Togashi tuna taco and it was fabulous!! There is a full bar, specialty drinks, and a wine list also. And thank you Amber. read more

Lanai - Nachos - Bars Near Me - St. Thomas, Virgin Islands

The food is good but for these prices I expected great. Went to several places on the island that was amazing so try those first.

Love...love...love LANAI! We enjoyed a lunch or dinner here practically ever day during our 7 day trip to this beautiful island of St Thomas. My wife and I enjoyed everything we tried from the Wahoo dinner special to the rice bowls, bacon cheeseburger, fish & chips, guacamole & chips, their variety of tacos! Did I mention we loved the food! And sitting outside overlooking the tropical beach....sooo nice! Covid friendly I may add. And special shoutouts to the spectacular and friendly servers "Jimmy from Boston" and "Ashley from Michigan!" LANAI....a foodies go-to place in tropical paradise! read more

Lanai - Dee-licious! - Bars Near Me - St. Thomas, Virgin Islands

Such a delicious experience at Lanai! Summary: House-made everything with good variety and great flavor. We arrived around 6:30p on a Monday evening (without reservations) and no tables were available in the dining room. The bar area however has several high top tables that are first come first served. After about 30 minutes we were able to be seated, which gave us time to watch the sunset from the beach and the deck area above the restaurant. Once seated- great, friendly service, and great food. We highly recommend the roasted cauliflower app, very unique flavor and the best cauliflower we've ever had! Entree- vegetable stir fry with Salmon was off the charts. Dessert- house made Lemon strawberry cheesecake was excellent also, very smooth cream cheese filling and delicious Oreo crust (again, unique but excellent!) Will definitely be back to Lanai in the future! read more

Lanai restaurant on Limetree resort is 1 of 2 restaurants available. Went to Lanai for Sunday brunch. Ordered the loco moco and bagel w/lox. They use pulled pork instead of the usual burger patty. It was decent. A little lacking on the salmon for the lox. Came back next day and had the bacon cheeseburger and pulled pork sandwich. The burger was pretty good but the pork was very dry on the sandwich. Everything cost high as expected and they automatically charge 20% for service. Was a prisoner to this place since the only other place is a market for quick bites and an over-priced steakhouse. read more

Abbie was our server and she was so amazing. It was clear she is absolutely passionate about her job and one cannot help but smile through and through as she shares the chef specials. The food was also fantastic. The best we had on the island this time. read more

I've eaten there 3 times due to staying at the resort. I have yet to have a meal I consider good or even ok. Fish and chips absolutely sucked. The first time it was under cooked the second time due to a friend saying they had it the night before and it was really good so I decided to give it another try but god damn it sucked even mover than the first time. I also tried the mahi mahi and it was so overcooked it couldn't finish it. I'll eat cold sandwiches before I go back to this good for nothing restaurant read more

We came here for dinner and this place has its highs and lows. First, the location: set at a timeshare resort which inherently isn't bad but we didn't realize it until showing up. View was amazing set right in the beach. Food was okay, chips and salsa was not great. Salsa was bland and mushy. Fish and chips were mahi which was nice but portions were too small for the price. Shrimp fried rice was good and poke bowls decent. Service was spectacular and our waitress was perfect. Overall we walked away feeling that the food was nothing special and was priced a bit high for what you got. read more

This was the worst experience we have had on St. Thomas. The menu listed on their website is no longer available but they have not bothered to update their website. When we arrived, we found that that menu for dinner is an over priced "lunch" menu of just a few salads, burgers and sandwiches. The food was greasy and came out cold. Throughout the meal we had three different servers, none of which seemed to be very interested in our needs. Then when the bill arrived, it had items that we did not order or eat. The lighting at the restaurant was bright fluorescent bulbs which felt like the lighting in a McDonalds. Overall it was a terrible experience and we could not wait to get out of there. read more

What an amazing place to sit back and have a world class meal in a relaxing beach side environment. It's a very simple place, but the food is anything but simple. I enduldged in the fresh seared yellowtail tuna encrusted in sesame seeds on a bed of Wasabi mashed potatoes and a side of broccoli. I paired that with the local beer that they had on tap, then finished my meal with a bowl of homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream that they allowed me to enjoy on the beach as I watched the sunset on this small piece of paradise. The service was wonderful and I hope that anyone that reads this review gives this place a chance, trust me when I say that it will not disappoint. I'll be back again for sure. read more

My husband and I ate here for both dinner and brunch during our stay at Limetree Beach Resort. Although both experiences were positive, I would recommend this restaurant for brunch over dinner. Dinner: We sat by the bar, which I enjoyed since it's much quieter and you're still able to enjoy the water. The two bartenders served as our waiters, and they were great. We ordered the special, which was Panko-fried green beans. They were delicious! A little heavy on the oil residual, but very good. Their Cesar salad dressing is relatively thick, which leaves a heavy feeling when you're finished, but it tasted delicious. We ordered the fish and chips, which had the same breading as the green beans -- so they were good but very greasy. Finally, we ordered the "warm brownie" and homemade chocolate mint ice cream. This was actually a huge disappointment. The browner was hard, and not very "warm." It seemed like it had been sitting out the whole day. Unfortunately the ice cream was also not the best. I loved that it was homemade, but it tasted like they used artificial sweetener, and the mint taste was very strong. The food overall was not bad, but compared to other places we went for dinner, it was nothing exceptional. Brunch: Highly recommend! We began with a banana daiquiri and a Pina colada. Both delicious. I ordered the bagel and lox. Although rather expensive ($22), it was good. The lox is on the more salty end (it's supposed to be salty, but it was very salty), but overall the meal was good. My husband ordered the Loco Moco, and oh man the was amazing! The pulled pork was so perfectly cooked, and the perfect amount of fat was mixed in. The over medium egg was oozing perfectly. It was so good. We considered ordering another one. HIGHLY recommend. read more

We went to dinner last night at Lanais and it was once again amazing...the biggest problem with restaurants in St. Thomas is consistency most of the time you go once to a restaurant and it was amazing then you go again and it was horrible! Why you might ask? They suffer from being inconsistent! Well my friends Lanai has been on point in all 7 visits. Every single breakfast, lunch or dinner that we have gone to has been excellent. Last night we had: 2 Endless summer lemonaides $7.00 each excellent not too boozy just right. 2 Shrimp tacos so much shrimp it was falling out of the tacos fresh shrimp super large and moist not dry. The slaw on top was pineapple and spicy jalapeno mixed on top of taco. Excellent everytime! $5.00 each I ordered the specail Scallop Cavatappi with mushrooms bacon and edamame in a parmesan cream sauce $29.00 let me describe these scallops to you...each scallop was the size of a sand dollar and seared just right when you cut into them they were opaque meaning it was cooked to perfection and when you tasted it was sweet...my goodness people it was DAMN AMAZING! Hubby ordered the Maui Wauie Burger $14.00 with Steak fries and not chips. These people i tell you cant possibly make a burger this amazing but...yup that was exceptional too! Grilled pineapple, smoked Jalapenos, ozzing cheese and bacon...wowie just wowie. The steak fries are super large and crispy yet moist and soft on the inside then topped with sea salt. Last we shared Bananas foster bread pudding topped ala mode with Bananas fosters ice cream. $11.00 Excellent as well! People this place is a must they take pride in the food they serve and it shows. Our server was friendly out going and a breath of fresh air compared to most servers in St. Thomas her name McKenzie and you should be super lucky to have her! One more thing one reviewer questioned the plastic cups versus glass bottles or glasses...well someone dropped a glass bottle on the beach another person stepped on it and cut their foot open. True story and i cant tell you how many times people decide to walk the beach while waiting for food to come with drink in hand! Good call Lanai keep our feet safe lol! read more

After we escaped the Michigan winter, navigated the tribulations associated with travel we found our way to this wonderful spot just of the Beach at the Limetree Beach Resort. On Abby's recommendation try the samon or tuna pad thai. In fact...ask to sit at the four top behind the bar just off the Beach. If Abby is your tour guide through your dining experience you will have fun in addition to a great meal. We will be back! read more

Food, beverages, and location are superb! Being able to charge to the room at Wyndham would be nice but understand it's a separate operation. Had the fish tacos on their grand opening night when we arrived, they are excellent! Service was slow but they were jam packed with the live music. Had the salmon Benedict today which was bomb, my wife had the breakfast tacos with a super spicy awesome homemade salsa on the side. The chef needs to bottle and sell Lanai Salsa!! Also drink service on the beach is a nice touch, great work Lanai crew! Brittany was our server, she was friendly and attentive! read more

I always hate to be the one who gives the first negative review. However last night was clearly not a positive experience. Maybe just kinks to work out? It was a Saturday night, on a packed resort and I only saw 1 waitress. I really did feel bad because it was obvious she was trying to get around to every table and refill drinks/check up. There were 2 large parties there, and a lot of drunks. I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, so I was surprised when there was barely any non-spicy. The menu sounded actually quite good, however not much in the way of steak selection/seafood. Spicy, pricey, and loud read more

While the menu appears unique (eg, kimchi Mac and cheese), the food was very mediocre. All 4 of us thought our meals were just ok. We met a family at our hotel who said they ate here and also had mediocre food and terrible service. Our service was good but I wouldn't go back since there are better restaurants on St Thomas! read more

I heard about this place prior to us taking our trip to St Thomas. The food looked amazing and the view of the sunset was something you only see in movies. So naturally I booked us a reservation. Here's how our visit to Lanai went. Since we're staying at the Margaritaville Resort it took us about 25 mins to get to Lanai (we didn't think that was going to be a big issue until the cab ride back). We showed up about 30 mins early to our reservation and checked in with the hostess (I'm hoping she was just having a bad day due to how unwelcoming she was to us). We went to the bar to wait until our table was ready and had a few drinks. The bartender was attentive and responsive! We definitely recommend the "Bushwhacker" if you like Irish Cream and Kahlúa. After looking around I noticed they were a bit understaffed but not terribly understaffed. Once we got seated it took our server about 10 mins to come to our table and we went ahead and put our order in with her. It took 50 mins just for our appetizer to come out to us. We don't know if it was because we were so hungry or the drinks but the nachos were amazing! Shortly after, our dinner arrived. I had the mwaie whawie burger and it was great! While not cooked to the way I requested, it was a still pretty good. The wife had the Shrimp Pacific Rim and it was pretty good as well, however, you can tell the veggies were blasted with oil on the stove instead of butter. The sauce they used over the bed of jasmine rice was good but they could've been a bit more generous with it. Overall, it was good. We understand the pandemic has put everyone in a shortage of employees which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of the 3 I originally wanted to. Oh! To get back to the cab ride home. If you are staying a ways away from Lanai, I do not suggest drinking too much. The cab ride felt like a roller coaster the whole way home! read more

went here today with my family it was good and the prices were pretty good considering they have another restaurant on site with way more expensive options. It's for more casual dining, all of the seating is outside on the patio so you get to overlook the water. They do have happy hour between 3 to 6 look at their menu for their specials. it was good not great but definitely good and satisfied my cravings and hunger. tacos are the best thing that we all tried on the menu there were six of us and three others ordered tacos after seeing mine and trying mine read more

We had the best meal at Lanai! The food was excellent, the service was top notch, and we loved the atmosphere! We called at 4:30 and made a reservation for 7:30. We arrived at 7:05 and they seated us right away with a warning that two large parties had just arrived so it might be a while before our server got to us. Despite the warning, our server (originally from Georgia) was very attentive and super friendly. All four of us ordered something different and everyone was happy with the food. The prices were good too. It was $105 for all four of us to eat. We will come back to Lanai on our next visit to St Thomas! read more

Great dinner spot! Right on the ocean with beautiful sunsets. Great drinks & good food!
