Very good food and atmosphere outside. Seafood pasta, holy crap was it a great dish.

Best. Vacation. Meal. Ever. The fish taco appetizer was perfect and we've eaten a lot of fish tacos. The seasonings had just the right amount of kick. My husband had one of the mahi specials with orzo - incredible local flavors. I had the filet stuffed with mushrooms and goat cheese over a bed of mashed potatoes. In a word, amazing. Our primary waitress had all the specials and the dessert menu memorized and the entire wait staff worked together as a team, this was really special. They truly seemed to be enjoying themselves which complimented the wonderful atmosphere. We sat on the lower patio. It was very romantic; lots of trees and candles. Although the portion sizes were generous, we decided we had to have dessert. The pecan pie with ice cream and chocolate drizzle was great and the frozen key lime pie was... Well let's just say if you like key lime pie, you must have this. read more

Most people say it's the best restaurant on St Croix. I would consider that a major overstatement. But the food quality is consistent and if you go there often enough somewhat boring. Definitely not to be missed but not as good as you would expect considering many of the rave reviews! I am a big key line pie fan and I have yet to find someone who can even come close to my wife's key lime pie. And this was no exception - not even close and actually quite disappointing! read more

Fabulous meal. We sat in the courtyard and had the salad special, the appetizer special and the entree special. All were fabulous. Plus the service was awesome. Rain came unexpectedly and they simply pulled over a sail over the courtyard so the night was perfect. Never expected to find a place this special on a Caribbean island. They had sold out of their famous key lime pie so guess we'll have to go back. read more

We had a fabulous meal to start our vacation. Beautiful table in the garden. Great food and drinks. The cassava crusted wahoo was to die for. The stuffed lobster was awesome. We finished the night with rum cake - pure bliss. read more

Savant - Caribbean Near Me - Christiansted, Virgin Islands

See all

Sat outside. Service was slow. Water smelled fishy which the waitress replaced (people next to us sent there waters back too). Shrimp/beef pasta had way to much garlic, but was edible. Wine was great! read more

This is a quaint restaurant in the eastern edge of Christensted with a diverse menu and most helpful wait staff. A number of deserts are available and pricing is a little above moderate. read more

Always great food. Always great service. It is not huge, so make sure to make reservations.There is an inside and outside (in back). Ask for outside November through April. In our top 5 for St. Croix. read more

Delicious and charming restaurant! The chicken lollipops were yummy. I had a special, mahi mahi I think and it was amazing! Dessert was very tasty. The ambience was romantic. Highly recommend this place! read more

Not so impressed with savant. Food just so so but the prices were High. Egg rolls did not have a lot of Flavor, the pasta special was very heavy on the red sauce, and my sons steak came out almost raw. Ambiance was good and service was okay but I am really wondering about all the rave reviews. read more

just ate there for our 5th time and this Friday will be our 6th time in 3 years since we first tried Savant. we have never been disappointed, always excellent service to go with the incredible food. Hoping Lobster is on the menu Friday but if not there will be something equally incredible. read more

Don't waste your time and your money. I was there with my wife and the waitresses were so rude and their service was terrible. She used the really bad word about my wife and We left that restaurant and I am so sorry for ourselves to waste our time in that horrible place. I've never seen any kind of terrible place like this restaurant in all around the world. You can find better restaurant in this Island so forget this place. read more

This is my favorite restaurant on St. Croix -- the inside seating area is charming and the outdoor area can be covered quickly in the event of rain. I had one of the best porkchops I have ever eaten at savant! The restaurant is not very big so I would recommend a reservation. read more

Rehearsal dinner disappointment My now husband and I had eaten here over the summer and raved about the location, the ambiance, and the food. So we decided to host our rehearsal dinner here and made reservations in July. They were confirmed at least twice by our wedding coordinator. Unfortunately, when we arrived they had no record of our reservation. The owner, Tom, kept saying how badly he felt but that there was no way for him to accommodate us. Our wedding coordinator and taxi driver starting making calls and only after seeing everyone else spring into action did Tom do anything. Our wedding coordinator ended up getting us in at another restaurant in town where we had great food and service so the night was saved! read more

Service here was excellent. Accompanied by superb food. I highly recommend the prosciutto wrapped Mahi as well as the curry chicken. Exquisite atmosphere out on the patio. A must visit on the island! read more

I moved back to St. Croix a few months ago, and Savant is as wonderful as ever. The staff treats us like family every time we go, and they really went out of their way to make dinner special for my fiance's birthday. Since moving back, I've gone vegan from vegetarian, and the staff are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and kind about making sure the vegan options are good. I usually order summer rolls and veggie fajitas, and highly recommend this to fellow vegans. read more

I'm not sure how good the food or service is because after waiting for 15 minutes on the phone to make a reservation, I gave up.

Great courtyard environment, food is somewhat weird. My fajitas were basically in an Italian tomato sauce. My wife's curry was bland. Service was good however. I'd go for drinks, but not sure about dinner. read more

By far, the best restaurant on the island. Must call and do reservations. Ask for table outdoors in the courtyard. Not inexpensive, so make sure you are comfortable with an upscale menu. Worth every cent. read more

While in Christiansted we were fortunate to be told about Savant restaurant. A short walk from town, this unassuming restaurant has a hidden gem of a picturesque patio behind it. They have a respectable wine list, and the food was special and amazing. Planning to order a nice grouper entree, we were intrigued to order their trigger fish instead. What a pleasant surprise. The fish was white, flaking and flavorful. Beyond what I expected. The patio, the service, the meal and talking to the chef at the back bar made this a special destination of excellence. read more

I went as part of a group of seven and we sat in the back. Beautiful area, unfortunately the server was a complete jerk. We ordered our meals and drinks. One was not what the individual had ordered. The server argued and told him it is what he ordered, then finally had it fixed. After that he went from being merely unfriendly to an outright jerk. Another waiter had to refill our water. He was very rude when asked about the desert menu and then when told that the tickets were separate, he came unglued and told us that we should have told him that originally (I do believe we did), and that it would take him 15 minutes to figure it out. He finally came back and slapped the tickets on the table and made a point of showing his was angry. Unfortunately the tip was already added in. I had ordered the grilled calamari - partially burned and no flavor and the rack of lamb - extremely good as was the potatoes with it. I also had the chocolate rum cake. Not so good - dry. I have no intention of ever eating there again due to the service. read more

I have been to Savant twice now and sad to say, will not be heading back again. They aren't that bad, but the competition is so stiff that they just don't have anything more to offer then say Kendricks or Bacchus in the area. Had the maple pork stir fry which was good and they have an egg roll special but it is hit or miss. The service is ok, not great, but decent.. Overall it can provide a change of pace, but for a higher end place, it loses to some other competition. read more

We've been going to Savant for the past 18 years and it was always our #1 restaurant on St. Croix until last night.....service was SLOW, our order wasn't right, the temperature on the outside terrace was stifling - a restaurant this successful can certainly afford to install some fans to circulate air! The owner was sitting at the bar the whole time we were there and never lifted a finger to help out his visibly overwhelmed servers...overall a terribly disappointing night! We will be returning to the island often as we own a home here and, sadly, Savant will no longer be our first choice. read more

This is place is so horrible! The ambiance is good and that's pretty much it. We had pork empanandas that taste like freezer burn. Our entrees were horribly over cooked and tasteless. Don't go there. There is so many more better places on the island read more

We ate here last night with a group of 13. The food was very good. The complimentary homemade bread is delicious! We had a variety of entrees from the Danish Ribs to the daily special lobster tail and all seemed to enjoy. Do not skip on dessert....the key lime pie and the coconut pecan pie were both excellent!! The reason for minus one star is the seating area. Since Savant is located away from the ocean, you don't get much breeze, so the temperature in their courtyard can become stifling! read more

Excellent food - very thoughtfully and creatively prepared. Always an great choice for dinner! Make a reservation. Eat inside or in the beautiful courtyard in back. Always a perfect staff. read more

I went to Savant last year with a group of people and loved the atmosphere. Our food was hit and miss, some people loved their food, for others it was just okay. Decided to try it again and was very glad I did. The patio is a really cool space, casual yet elegant. We had the calamari for an appetizer which was unique and delicious. I ordered the Lobster special and they had no problem giving me mashed potatoes instead of rice. The meal was exquisite in both flavor and texture. My only disappointment was that I couldn't manage to eat it all. I have been lucky enough to have some divine meals in my life and this one will definitely rate! read more

First off, they have AC! Which is sometimes welcome after a long day, say snorkeling. I had the tuna special and my husband had the lamb special. We were both VERY impressed. The portion sizes for the price are very reasonable. I could have eaten about 234872 pieces of their bread as well. The service was very good as well. Our waitress was attentive, but not trying to rush us out of there. read more

Food was delicious and service was great! We ate inside because it was kind of warm outside but all dine in the patio next time! I recommend the lobster egg rolls, filet mignon and the tuna! read more

As usual we had the best dinner of our trip at savant. The courtyard is one of the best dining areas I have ever seen. Started with cocktails at the bar, well made by the attractive and friendly staff. Lobster spring rolls were awesome with big strips of tail, lollipops were crunchy and tasty. For the main course we had rack of lamb and mahi special , the sauces were abundant and flavorful, but not overpowering . The portions are on the large size (8 ribs) and both plates were cooked perfectly. read more

It's one of our favorites. Great food, great atmosphere. I enjoy the small intimate back room inside.

St. Croix has all of these little out of the way places - this is another hidden gem. Eat outside in the beautiful courtyard if you can. This would be a favorite if it was back home, but the island ambiance and charm adds something to it. A darn good place. read more

Fantastic - my wife were there the end of March an totally enjoyed the foods,c service and ambiance. We sat out in the courtyard, can't be beat or a romantic dinner. My wife's had. The lamb an said it was the best she ever tasted (and she is a lamb freak). If you want a romantic dinner that includes excellent food, service and a night under the stars, this is the place for you. read more

Last spring we ate indoors, this time we were able to eat outdoors. Very nice atmosphere. For a small place, they have a very extensive and creative menu. I had the duck and my husband had the filet mignon. He said it was like butter, mine was good too. This is a place we will return to. read more

We love Savant. This was our second trip to the island, and we ate here twice this time. The atmosphere is amazing, easily the most romantic dinner I could imagine. The food is just as great. Have one of the specials of the day- they are always inspired. Really- I wish I could give them more stars. read more

I have been to Savant several times. The food and service have always been excellent. I took my parents and wife here and we had 4 different main dishes that were all top notch. The bar mixes great drinks and the wine selection is great. The servers have always been very professional and helpful. read more

Gorgeous garden, cozy intimate interior and welcoming staff -- not to mention the great food and cocktails! From the moment you walk in, the mellow owner welcomes you, and you know you're in for a non-rushed service experience, which you would want in an island setting. We went during restaurant week, and the selections were good (dessert selections were outstanding), and the quality was obvious. Not planning to go back to St. C anytime soon, but if I did, I would certainly return. read more

Our family dined at Savant the last night of stay on St. Croix and it was incredible. The staff was extremely warm and welcoming. The bartender and wait staff were very professional and gave us plenty of space. The atmosphere is also incredible - if you can get a table in the courtyard do, it's well worth it. Our only disappointment was that we only went to Savant once. We'll be back next year and will have visit them several times. read more

Service here was great. Although not what you would expect Thai curry chicken to taste like, this dish was very good. The outside seating area was aesthetically appealing. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Love it!! A must for visitors and locals! This will be my place to go for special occasions. $54 (2 apps, 1 meal, water), not bad at all! And agree that the chicken lollipops are awesome. Those will be a repeat for sure! Other Mahi items were wonderful, but will probably try something else just to experience more of their great food. read more
