Could not beat the sunset view from the upper dining floor! Meals and appetizers were wonderful. Martinis were perfect. Service excellent. And the resident peacock did his best to entertain! I recommend this restaurant foe a romantic evening. read more

To avoid any confusion of my review, I want to give a first hand perspective on the unexpected all inclusive circus act my family got to be a part of at 362 on Christmas Eve: 1. The sole purpose we made our reservation for Christmas Eve was because of the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day menu they sent us via e-mail over a month ago. We get there and order and 30 minutes later the waitress comes back and says the manager made a mistake and that the menu is only for Christmas Day after confirming our email saying there was a miscommunication in management. 2. We decide to eat there anyway. We wait another 30 minutes alone before we even get our order taken. Another 30 minutes for appetizers and another 45 for dinner and another 15 for dessert. Dinner alone took 2 hours and 45 minutes. Would not recommend anyone over 65 eating here due to time constraints. 3. I was more excited scraping my knee on coral than I was after the food and dessert. Very mediocre food and if you like well seasoned food, pack your own salt and pepper and don't worry because TSA shouldn't confiscate it. Go to High Tide, Lovango, or Banana Deck in that order for quality food, service, and atmosphere. 4. Not sure which manager fumbled the menu, but on our way out we learned our discover card wasn't accepted. No biggie, but when we brought back another card later after running back to the room to get the other card, they tried throwing the absurd notion that tip wasn't included on the bill when 20% gratuity is clearly stated on every receipt in St. John. Not sure if this was intentional or not but bottom line is either an optometrist or guidance counselor may be needed at Ocean 362. read more

Sat at the bar and had a great dinner. Bartender was super friendly and helpful. What a view. The food was pricey but good. Burrata to start. Chicken followed. What a meal. Highly recommend. read more

We had a wonderful time - just the white linen experience we were looking for. The views are great, there is a beautiful view of the water and a Bismarck Palm, the food was delicious and healthy, and the staff was delightful. read more

This was our favorite dinner in St. John! The food was very high quality and the views and ambience were breathtaking. The manger took so much pride in the menu and wine list and made great recommendations on how to enhance the flavors with just the right wine pairing. We had a great evening and look forward to visiting again! read more

Friendly staff. Amanda is Fantastic! Starters we're mussels and house salad...BAM (Emerald reference!). We each ordered the Halibut and we each LOVED it. We sat at the upstairs bar because we're not fru fru and like to talk with everyone while eating and drinking. Greatness is the appropriate word for the meal. My wife couldn't finish the meal and had to get a to go box. Me? Ya, I ate it all but it was a push to eat that last bite. Feelin like a nap but we gotta get to quiet mon and the refinery for some drinks. If you don't eat here, your loss. C ya read more

Loved the ambiance & complexity of their food. Our server also had an incredible sense of humor.

View was beautiful, recommend the Charcuterie board, Mahi special, Shrimp Pesto dish and Steak was great. I would NOT recommend the flourless chocolate cake. The service was okay, expected it to be much better. Good wine, beer and cocktail choices, read more

Lobster tacos were good, not great. Didn't taste a lot of lobster in the olive oil bath they put them in. Brussels sprouts were good. A bit salty but think it's due to soy. Did not hurt them. For entree, I had the Shrimp Curry, wife had the Shrimp Pasta ( both had more elaborate descriptions on menu, these are names on receipt). Both very good. Would happily order either dish again. Dessert was excellent as well. Wife had flourless Chocolate Cake, I had the special of which I don't remember name. Was 3 small "pies", similar to key lime but made with a Japanese fruit that was described as tasting like grapefruit, with the sweetness and none of the sour. Loved it. The biggest opportunity we found was that we were seated in what was to be a great table, on the deck overlooking the water. What we didn't know is the sun would be in our face, no shades to block it (although there was a shade facing south that served no purpose), and ceiling fans ran low. When asking our server, she said she knew, as this was a common complaint. Wondering why the owners don't address this, because I would recommend if your reservations are not post-sunset, don't waste your time. Food and service is a solid 4/5, but the lack of action on a known issue with sun/heat makes this a 3/5. read more

Finest food on St John though quite hard on your pocket. We loved it. Must try Blackened Red Snapper. I should mention here, that entrees was delayed a bit but the server gave us complementary wine for the delay, we without asking to do so. Excellent service coupled with tasty food. read more

Our family recently dined here for dinner. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Our server was pleasant and worked hard. We started with the charcuterie and buratta appetizers. My kids ordered pasta and chicken fingers for dinner. My wife and I both ordered the filet. The steak was average at best. Liked the Rosemary Demi, but I can grill a better steak at home. Served with 3 asparagus? Potato side was ok. The highlight of the night was the appetizers. The entrees were disappointing given the price tag. It wasn't bad, however we found the food at 1864 and The Terrace to be of better quality and taste. read more

Great view of the sunset, even better food! The staff was also delightful. Expected prices. $$$. Particularly enjoyed the seafood!

Very good all around except for the dessert. All of the appetizers were excellent and my entree was great. The service is also excellent. It would be 5 stars if it weren't for the cheesecake which was terrible. I don't think I've ever had a worse cheesecake. It was dry and was not even slightly sweet. It basically just tasted like actual cheese. Strange. Would still recommend, just avoid the cheesecake. read more

So we went to this rest restaurant for dinner and did the chef's choice and it was delicious but the big surprise is was when the chefs wife asked us if they did something wrong because our tip wasn't big enough.... we tipped $50.00 but i guess it wasn't enough... are you kidding me ... just because everything was overpriced!!! never darking your door step again! read more

This spot isn't necessarily anything to write home about, but we appreciate their sacrifices during covid and ability to operate during these trying times. Wait staff got maybe a bit snippy when we made some annoying customer requests regarding seating, but obviously that's mostly on us. I think the highlight for me was the focaccia bread you can order for $5 -- comes out hot, fluffy, and just the right amount oily. Unfortunately, none of the food that came out afterwards quite matched the level of the focaccia -- Caesar salad wasn't bad, I've definitely had better tuna poke, but the presentation of ocean 362's was cool! For entrees, I definitely recommend the Korean fried chicken -- it sounds like the chef's speciality (they let it sit in buttermilk for 3 days or something like that). The catch of the day (mahi if I remember correctly) was fine, but it turned out to be so pricey!!! That's how they getcha! read more

Great food. Good service - a little slow on the drink refills when the restaurant was full. Wonderful setting.

Excellent food and an amazing bar scene with Jill! Loved the drinks and besides our deck, the best sunset view. read more

Ocean 362 - Sunset over St. Thomas. - Caribbean Near Me - St. John, Virgin Islands

What an awful dining experience. I am shocked by some of these reviews and wondering if we were dining at different restaurants. This was the absolute worst service we had on the entire island after being there for more than 2 weeks. When we asked the server which salad she recommends, she said they're both "salady" so they're not very different. I'm sorry, what?!? They are very different and even though you don't eat salad, you should be able to describe the differences. Everything went downhill from here. Received wrong orders, food was cold, and everything just tasted okay. Save yourself the trip and head over to Extra Virgin or Lime Inn. read more

The Pork Belly Cheese (Gouda) are AMAZING. THE gazpacho is superb. The grilled romain salad is refreshing. The grill Chilean Prawns were good.....Not as flavorful as I had expected. The bed of plantains that they rested on was not a good fit. read more

The food is amazing. Had the fresh Mahi with great sides. The flavor was outstanding and the view is out of this world. It's located at Gallows Point and worth the slight walk up the hill! We ate at the bar upstairs, which I think is the best view. Bring your sunglasses though. read more

The four of us went there for a birthday celebration, and Laura was tremendous in terms of helping us get a table that overlooked the bay during sunset at the third level. Due to delays in our travels, I had to inform her of our arrival times via texts and she was so responsive. It was great to meet her in person after our meal. The food was great, the wines were better and the views were unlike any other. Loved it! read more

Very disappointed with the rude staff at this restaurant. Do not recommend. Food was very good but not worth dealing with a rude waitress.

Very good, not excellent, would return again. Menu somewhat limited, about 8 appetizers and 8 entrees to choose from, last night. All were very good. Desserts also very good. Ambiance and service was excellent. read more

WOW! We spent 8 days in USVI and O362 was by far the best dining experience! The view and ambience was incredible and only surpassed by the meal. Highly recommend passing the 'CruzBay Strip' and traveling up the hill...well worth it! read more

Amazing food, amazing view! Excellent service. Best mahi mahi I've ever had! Don't skip dessert - the cheesecake was to die for!

My husband and I came here for dinner around 5:30pm. We wanted to sit at the bar, but could only get a reservation for the dining room. Either way, the views of Cruz Bay is great in both areas. The restaurant is open air concept and each seat is great. Make sure to bring your sunglasses if you're there during sunset. We had Judy as our server and she was fantastic. We had a hard time choosing what we were going to drink and eat. She was super patient with us and helped us decide. They have unique drinks and we decided to try 2 different cocktails. We started with the pork belly appetizer. It was almost like a deconstructed Cuban sandwich with some island flavors. My husband chose the shrimp entree, while I went with the day boat catch (which was mahi mahi). We were both extremely happy with our choices. The seafood was super fresh and the dishes were beautifully prepared. For dessert, I chose the donut bread pudding with salted caramel bacon ice cream. I was so full after the entree but that dessert was out of this world! I would come back just for that! My husband got the johnny cake beignets which were fantastic too but not as good as mine. Overall, this is a wonderful restaurant. We liked that it was casual but had an upscale feel. The food is up to par with our NY standards. One note: for people who complained that the portions are too small and too expensive; I beg to differ. The portions were very generous for the price. Food on St. John is expensive but this quality is outstanding. If I'm going to pay for expensive food, it better be good. The people who said the portions are small are probably used to eating at buffets. read more

Great views, friendly staff, average food but overpriced. Not sure what the buzz is all about.

Very nice upscale Caribbean dining...... very romantic and a nice place to hang... Be aware pricing is quite high but food quality is too Very reasonably priced wines and great cocktails read more

I made an appointment for my family and I a day prior at 5:30pm, when I called today no one answer the call, I checked online it says closed. I eat out all the time and this has never happened, not responsible for a 3$ sign restaurant, I expect something better than this. Not happy at all! read more

First the good. A great view and nice space. As we walked in around 5 pm with a reservation we moved to go to the roof bar, but were told it was full and could not go up, finally able to walk upstairs there were 5 people at a 12 seat bar and they had no interest offering us a drink. At the table we order several items. The mussels were very good, but everything else was poor to bad The Mahi was bland, fishy and gray, the mushroom ravioli was completely tasteless, and our friend ordered the fish of the day and ate maybe be half. A real disappointment. read more

Steven and I went here for drinks, apps, and the amazing sunset!! Unfortunately, it became cloudy and we didn't see the actual sun setting, but the process was glorious. We got the conch fritters (had to get it once while down there), which were amazing, and split the farmers plate, but that ended up just being our dinner because it's such a hefty portion. Come here for apps, a drink, and the sunset, and you won't be disappointed!! read more

Hands down the BEST restaurant, food, and service we've had since we've arrived! For some odd and unfortunate reason Yelp doesn't push this one to the top- but it deserves that and more! none the less. The staff (Fitzroy was our spectacular server who rose to the occasion and more!) were more than Accommodating. They took care of our little ones, too. The hostess & bartender took great care of us and the girls- it was cute and allowed us to enjoy the 5 star unique dishes. The little ones went up and down from the main floor to the top floor continuously and the bartender and staff treated them so kindly and with care. Caitlin, the executive chef, deserves a standing ovation. The dishes were full of flavor and get passion was apparent and appreciated in every bite. She is a true artist. We've. toured the world and this is one of the best meals we've had hands-down. Plus the service by Mr. Fitzroy was commendable and acknowledged. We appreciate his sincere Dedication to service. As background, we enjoyed the mussels, lobster/shrimp ravioli, fresh catch grouper, and phenomenal beignets! read more

Chef Shaun and event planner Kortney are amazing to work with! We just had our wedding reception at Ocean 362 and couldn't be happier. The sunset, the food, the cocktails, the staff, and the overall attention to detail made this an extremely special occasion. Everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for your special day, special dinner, or nightly sunset! read more

This place is delicious! Sarah was a great waitress. Cocktails and wine are both very pleasing. House salad is locally grown and dressing was so good. Had the shrimp pesto pasta and it was amazing. Local Grouper was possibly the best I have eaten and I have eaten a lot of grouper. So many flavors! The view is also a wonderful addition. Top of our list. read more

We went here for a wedding reception and I was very impressed by the caliber of restaurant. The waitstaff was welcoming and friendly, the bartenders were knowledgeable and astute, and the kitchen kept pumping out great flavors all evening. ...and the view. Can we please talk about the view?? I can't speak to what it's like to come here for dinner, but I'd have to assume, based on our experience for special events, it's stellar read more

We are here or first night. We stayed at the gallows so it made for an easy choice. Stayed on St. John's for 5 days and this hands down was the best food we had on the island. It is also the most expensive meal we had as well. Once again though the food was as good as it comes. Loved my lamb chops with a side of feta mashed potatoes. Everyone loved their meals. Great place with great atmosphere. read more

This was NOT a good experience and as a Celiac (one who is gluten intolerant and gets very sick being served gluten based food), this could have been a disaster for me and ruined the rest of my vacation on St John. When I first asked the server if there were GF options (since I told her I was a Celiac), she assured me there were options for me and confirmed that the choice I was making was GF. When my meal came, she again reassured me that it was GF. As I looked at the plate, my instincts (gratefully) kicked in and I asked the server one more time what the ingredients were in the meal and she decided to go back to the kitchen. She then scurried back over to my table and whisked the dish away and acknowledged that it WAS NOT GF. . She said she would replace it (everyone at my table was well into their meal at this point) and when she finally did, all they did to replace the gluten based food was double the veggies on my plate (the meal was already a veggie meal). Pathetic. With a limited apology (I knew the server was uncomfortable and at this point I was frustrated) my dinner was ruined. I didn't bother w the second helping of veggies and left hungry. To make matters much worse, the Manager NEVER came by to check-in with me, nor apologize, and we were charged the full, overpriced charge for the meal; it wasn't until my husband went to complain, that they then took my meal charge off. And then when pressed, they apologized to HIM, and never to me. We never should have had to take this position with them, nor have to chase for an appropriate "service recovery". I have known I am Celiac for more than 30+ years and this is one of a handful of worst experiences I have had in a restaurant. They did a terrible job with the meal (which would have destroyed the last 3 days of my holiday with an inflammatory GF response), their food replacement was completely inadequate, their apology was insufficient and we should never had to chase them to have my failed meal taken off our bill. Completely unacceptable. Dining here ruined my night and placed a damper on our whole party. read more
