    Scallops & Christmas Salad
    Zoé R.

    Overall, the ambiance was not lacking. It was great atmosphere with the view. The service was much slower and we got to points with empty drinks and waiting to order another. The food was average and lukewarm when it made it to the table. We were recommended this joint by a local and honestly left disappointed and not very satisfied due to quality of food and service for the price. Definitely overpriced if you do the tasting menu which we weren't expecting until we arrived.

    This was by far my favorite meal on STJ, maybe my favorite meal ever! We had a 6pm reservation and we were celebrating a friends birthday. We had a beautiful spot right on the rail to see the sunset. Our server, forgive me I forget her name, was very attentive. She took our drink orders and told us the specials of the day. The chef was able to make accommodations for things we wanted like having the snapper served the way the grouper special was made. For appetizer we had the bread basket with olive tapenade and butter. Bread was fresh and the tapenade was delicious without being too salty. Our friends ordered the scallops and said they were some of the largest they had ever seen. My husband ordered the lobster and conch cakes with polenta. He said it was quite good. For dinner we ordered the oxtail gnocchi on the recommendation of our server, the halibut dish, the snapper and the Caribbean lobster. The presentation of all dishes was wonderful but the lobster was spectacular!! The long beans and risotto were also cooked perfectly. For dessert we ordered the spiced apple pie, the key lime cheesecake and I had the house made passion fruit and guava sorbet. I have to say it was the best sorbet I've ever had in my life! This was a special occasion, and yes it was an expensive meal, but it was worth every penny! Can't wait to visit again!

    Incredible view and incredible food. Definitely recommend for an intimate dinner, but we did have a larger group and they still accommodated. If you can get there during that time. Service was a little slow with it taking a while to get our food but once it arrived, it was well worth it.

    For the third year in a row, Ocean 362 has been the highlight of our dining experience in St. John. While my preferred seating is in the third floor, the second floor still provides a beautiful view of the Caribbean sunset. Their was a new chef in town and he has recrafted the menu to really reflect a taste of the islands. Seven entrees, leaning heavily to seafood, but also offering a vegetable plate that was delightful. Others in my party enjoyed Mahi Mahi, Seared Tuna, and halibut (fish of the day), while I dove into the Roasted Cauliflower. The "whole grain porridge" listed was a wonderful pot of quinoa with veggies that was seasoned to taste like thanksgiving dressing- Delicious!!! Although I had expected a cauliflower steak, the mix of veggies on the plate was huge, nicely varied, and seasoned perfectly. For dessert, we all split a key lime pie-perfection. Of note on the desserts, new chef makes the house ice cream and sorbets on the menu, of which malted ball caught my eye! Last and not least, our waitress was amazing. This was our second year in a row receiving the attention of Agnes. She is so knowledgeable about the food, very pleasant, and is truly a delight to spend time with. We are already looking forward to next year!

    Pan fried salmon with vegetable medley and sweet potato

    We came here with a large party with a reservation. They took our temperature and asked we hand sanitizer, which I totally get at this point. Our server was charming and so sweet. Every thing we asked her, was not a problem even when the little one wanted pasta with butter. We ordered delicious food. The salmon dish was delicious but I tried a bit of my mother's pasta with some sort of beef ragu and was sooo tasty! But the winner was the ambiance. The view and sitting outside was perfect for an island dinner. Their cocktails were great too. My son loved the wagyu burger, a standout meal at our visit to St John's. They also have valet parking which is a big plus when parking in this area is very limited. I totally would come here again and hopefully you will too!

    You can't come to St Johns without coming to Ocean 362. The food is the best on the island. The waitress was fantastic and helped is pick out a drink and a lovely fried chicken wing appetizer. The chicken was fried three times for ultimate crunch. It was unbelievable with a homemade ranch. We both ordered fish. My husband who hates zucchinis ate every single bite. The sauces we're so flavorful. The portions were large and worth every penny. The view is the best on the top floor. There is also a bar on the top floor. I would make a reservation to insure you go to best restaurant on the island!

    Very nice delicious dinner with a beautiful view of harbor and sunset. Agnes our server was super nice and good great care of us. David the valet parked our car so no parking concerns. We enjoyed our evening and would recommend.

    While visiting St. John we definitely wanted to enjoy one fancy night out and after reading the reviews and checking out the menu, reservations were made at Ocean 362. The restaurant is located on top of a hotel with an open atmosphere that was very inviting. We started with cocktails and a few appetizers, including the Mussels, Calamari Salad and Chicken Soup. All we're phenomenal and overall we were very impressed from the beginning. Unfortunately the bread was stale and service went down hill from there, extremely slow. But, we gave them the benefit of the doubt, being one of the nicer restaurants on the island they cooked everything to order and we definitely noticed that when the entrees came. Everyone enjoyed their meals and I can say my Lobster and Shrimp Ravioli was outstanding. Huge chunks of both, in a light, paper thin pasta covered in a cream sauce, heaven. Unfortunately we chose an after dinner cocktail instead of dessert, so can't weigh in there. Overall the food was outstanding, but know this is not an hour dinner, but more like a three hour dinner, if not more for group.

    Sunset view from the patio

    Beautiful sunset dinner views and great food and service. We ordered the tuna, the plantains, the burger (yum!!), and the steak salad. All of our food items were well prepared, beautiful and tasty! Our waitress, Jill, was attentive, friendly, and helpful. It is worth noting that the tables are in a building a bit removed from the ocean (not right up against the water), and the views are partially blocked by some of the Gallows Point units, but the experience was still delightful and we would return. Recommend bringing your SPF and shorts, as the sunset tables are pretty sunny until the sun comes down.

    We really, really, really loved our time here. We have been here before for a quick drink and a…read moreshot of mamawana - ask for it, trust - but tonight was our first night enjoying dinner. The menu is big. It's local. They sell out as the night goes on. All of the servers do not speak English really well. But, honestly, if you have a question that can't be answered, there's someone around you can talk to. We ordered sautéed fish and the stewed chicken. Each entree comes with three sides - my favorites were the plantains, red beans, and Cole slaw. Rice was also good. The cook was also grilling pork that smelled AMAZING and when I asked my server if I could have whatever he was making, she literally snuck me over a side plate of smoked and grilled pork. So freaking good. This is not your typical Cruz bay restaurant. This is local. It's delicious. There is live music. Appreciate what you are getting. If you want cute fish tacos, this place isn't for you. We had a cocktail at the Windmill Bar during sunset and then popped over here (practically next door), to order some food. Tables are picnic style tables. All outside. Service is great but food is cooked to order so it might be slow. Enjoy it! We had multiple beers and a couple mamawana shots and two entrees and our total was about $75. Definitely our least expensive meal on St. John ever.

This is one of those rare restaurants that offers dishes you simply won't find anywhere else in the area. The menu is creative, locally grounded, and clearly built with intention rather than shortcuts. Every plate felt thoughtful, fresh, and confidently executed -- the kind of food that makes you slow down and actually pay attention to what you're eating. The value for the price is exceptional, especially considering the quality of ingredients and the care put into each dish. In a place where dining can sometimes feel overpriced for what you get, Hillside Terrace stands out as genuinely fair and refreshingly honest. Service was kind, welcoming, and unpretentious -- good vibes from the moment you arrive. You can tell this is a place run by people who care, not just about the food, but about the experience. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, and a sense that you're exactly where you're supposed to be for a great meal. If you're looking for excellent local food, unique menu items, great service, and outstanding value, Hillside Terrace is a must-visit. I wouldn't hesitate to return again -- in fact, I already did. Highly recommended.
