We had a great time on island at Oceana for a pre-birthday celebration for my wife. The views are spectacular. Our meal choices were tasty and well presented. And, the service was second to none. Everybody on staff was attentive to our every need. We will be back all the way from South Carolina.

This place is some of the best food and service I have ever have. My first visit was perfect and our server was attentive. I got one of the specials that was amazing. It was so good we came back only a night later! They views as well from this place were amazing, so close to the water with such a nice breeze. My second night I got the burrata that was perfect but it was a special as well so don't go hoping for it! I will say the espresso martini was amazing as well, nice and creamy and perfectly balanced. This is the place you got for good food, amazing views, and excellent food.

I'm in the excellent experience camp of folks. We showed up with no reservation but early and got a table right on the water with spectacular views. The hostess was more than pleasant than our waiter. Although you was right on the mark, the shrimp scampi appetizer was right on point. My halibut special was super and the scallops, which is the most popular dish also lived up to expectations the wines by the glass were also on point, although not a huge selection. This is a pricey joint, but considering the quality of the food and service, I had no problem.

We had a very enjoyable dinner at Oceana while on a recent trip to St. Thomas, USVI. We arrived a bit early for our reservation, so we sat at the bar and enjoyed a cocktail until our table was ready. Oceana is a very cool location, and beautiful house right on the bay, great views, especially during the day. The staff was very friendly, the service crisp, and the fare very good! At the bar we started with cocktails, the "O" and a sunset martini. The "O" is the house signature cocktail, a combination of house-infused pineapple rum, ginger, lime juice, coconut cream and pineapple juice. Delicious and refreshing! The sunset martini is a tasty blend of vodka, Chambord, citrus, candied lemon and a sugar rim. A nice way to start the evening! Once seated, after another cocktail, we opted for a nice bottle of white wine, Lenda Albarino. It was a good wine that paired well with our food selections. We ordered and shared two salad, the beet escabeche and the house special grilled peach salad. The beet salad included several varieties of beets, on a bed of goat cheese, adorned with spicy arugula, and rimmed with a raspberry balsamic reduction and EVOO. Very tasty. The grilled peach salad featured bibb lettuce, honey whipped goat cheese, candied pecans, a balsamic reduction, and EVOO. Very good salad, our favorite of the two. For our main course, we opted for the bouillabaisse, which was a prefect size for sharing. The soup included lobster tail, clams, mussels, shrimp, fresh fish, a very tasty broth and toasted bread on the side. It was a very good dish, and perfect for using the bread to soak up the sauce at the end. For dessert we shared two scoops of cookies and cream ice cream and the trio of sorbets. Both were good, we liked the ice cream a lot! Homemade, creamy and deelish! It was a good dinner, paced well, and worth the visit. The setting is delightful, and we'd recommend just stopping by for a drink is you're not able to dine at Oceana.

This review is for ROSA and ROSA only so if you are not her keep scrolling please lol. Now I was here last month this was the fancy dinner place I chose for the trip, glad I did the views the hostess the service everything 10/10. I'm an oyster girly so we started with the oysters and they were soooo good; Rosa was so helpful when it came to picking the main dishes and both her choices were good ones honestly. They had the regular menu and the chefs special menu we order both our dishes from that menu and omggggg the tuna was so flavorful with the Asian flare I loved the mushrooms. The salmon was equally good as well for drinks I had lemon drops and there was a second runner up for to the best one I've had in Miami!! For dessert got the lemon cheesecake because I love all things lemon and h that was just as delicious too. Whenever I come back to st Thomas will definitely stopping by thank you Rosa for your wonderful service and recommendations.

The waiter gave us a 5 dollar discount for the bad experience. I liked him, he gave us good service, but what a bad experience.

We were excited to dine at Oceana on the last night of our vacation and had a great meal--our server, Adam, was excellent and the food was very good. Unfortunately, the experience was completely ruined by the manager, Eva. We had our 2-year-old son with us, who was understandably tired and had a few brief moments of fussiness. Toward the end of our meal, the manager approached our table and, after saying what she was about to say was "weird," suggested we take our child somewhere else--"maybe walk him around"--because other guests were dining. We were also paying guests. We were respectful. And anyone who has children knows that toddlers aren't always perfectly quiet. The manager's comment was rude, condescending, and made us feel completely unwelcome. Families with children should think twice before coming here. Despite the good food and service from our waiter, the lack of basic hospitality from management was enough to ensure we won't be back.

Great start to the night with a pineapple margarita so good, spicy and sweet was perfect. Ordered the lobster bisque and unfortunately found out they were out after ordering it. Went with the crab cake, focaccia and garlic bread. Excellent garlic bread. I was hoping to pair that with the lobster bisque but I am over it. The focaccia is really good as well. The crab cake did work out well. The roulade was super good and the crab cake had the right amount of fry with moisture. Cara was our server and she was great. Super attentive and she specifically let us know that a gratuity was included in the check. The lobster was really good, the filet and scallops also got good comments. The mahi was on the dry side and lacked some salt. Atmosphere was excellent and seated with beach view just realize a little toasty in the summer time. Overall really good meal.

Happy couple celebrating their 17th Anniversary with the perfect view

I decided to make reservations here based on recommendations of a coworker who's been here. He said the owner Patricia is great! He was right!! She's wonderful and very hospitable. This place is absolutely beautiful!! The views are magnificent! We loved the open air seating of the dining room. The evening was perfect! There's several chickens roaming the grounds of most business in St Thomas. That's also the case here. (Probably why there's no chicken entrees on the menu. LOL!) We started our evening with the garlic bread. We could smell it before it reached the table. It was excellent!! For our entrees, I ordered the ribeye and hubby ordered the filet. He switched his asparagus for mashed potatoes, which came out cool. They were quickly replaced. My medium-well ribeye came out with bloody juices on the plate, that was also quickly corrected. The food was excellent and everything was timed perfectly. Our waitress Molly was great as well. We were too full to order dessert. We would definitely return again if in the area.

Took a group of 17 here. The location is perfect. The restaurant is a nice atmosphere on the water with a nice ambiance. The food was delicious. Ribeye was huge. Oysters were good. All the dishes came out beautiful and delicious. Service was solid but kind of dry and focused. Not overly personal or friendly but got the job done .

We made a reservation, but honestly it didn't seem totally necessary when we went. From the moment we sat down, the staff was on top of everything and so friendly. You could tell they really care about the experience, and everything flowed perfectly without feeling rushed. For drinks, we ordered the Vessup and the Carib and both were so good. The Vessup especially stood out, the cream on top was so smooth and delicious and just made the whole drink. They brought out fresh bread to start and it was so good (always a win in my book). For dinner, we went with the lobster with potato and broccolini and it was incredible. Everything was cooked perfectly and the flavors were just on point. Between the food, drinks, atmosphere, and service, this was easily one of our favorite dinners on the trip. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for something a little nicer but still with that island feel.

We originally had another restaurant on our radar but BOY were we happy we decided to take the short walk from the ship pier to Cravin' Crabs! They even serve Pancit (a delicious filipino noodle/spaghetti dish) I was not expecting to see that on the menu! Then when we left we realized there's a Filipino deli right next-door. So apparently it's authentic. The seafood was fresh and all the sides were unique and scrumptious! There was one side we enjoyed, we were not sure what it was, we could only decide it was the mashed potatoes, it tasted and had the texture more of some sort of dressing. Our server asked if we wanted some of the Tuscan seafood gravy on it and Yes, Yes, yes!! We did!! There was a little bit of a language barrier but we just pointed at what we wanted and it all worked out!! The food is right in front of you like cafeteria style so you can see what you are getting. My husband and I split one Tuscan Seafood plate with two sides, that was MORE than enough for the two of us for lunch. We'd definitely go back next time we are in ST. Thomas. Bravo!

I ended up showing up early so I was only able to see and try the breakfast menu and drinks, so those are the only items I can rate Ambiance: 5 stars. It's an open floor plan right on the dock. We were able to sit right next to the water and get some fresh air. The place isn't too loud, but very inviting. They have a bottomless mimosa option and this place feels like it would be a great brunch vibe Service: 4 stars. Staff was super nice and waitress was helpful in regards of what to order. There was an issue with steak being overcooked and they were able to replace it, but it did take taking to 3 different people, which I thought was weird Drinks: 3.5 stars. The Rum away with me was absolutely wonderful, but the White Russian was not good at all Food : 4.5 stars Steak and eggs was fantastic. We had to get the steak recooked, but when it was made well, it was a top shelf steak. Crab cakes: also would recommend! No notes here Breakfast burger:,really loved the fact that the patty was smashed. I was worried that there was too much going on but everything combined quite nicely. I got the breakfast potatoes and they weren't really anything special. Overall this place was a 4.5 stars, but I'm rounding up to 5 because the vibe and views were immaculate

One negative, our receipt had already included gratuity and when they handed me receipt, there was another blank line asking for gratuity (again!) and showing % options. This is very deceiving. Read carefully so you don't accidentally double tip! Oh, and there is an additional 3.5% non cash convenience fee. Thank you!
