Delightful fine-dining choice in downtown Christiansted (with off-street parking, no small item). Garden grotto was a wonderful setting. Interesting menu and a good wine list. Chicken lollipops were amazing and lobster egg rolls delightful. Goat cheese stuffed filet was delicious, but chicken curry less so. Don't pass up the rum cake for dessert. read more

One of the best restaurants in Christiansted. Pro Tip! Book their outdoor space. The patio is protected from the elements, has a great outdoor bar and is a beautiful location to enjoy their excellent menu. Try the lobster egg rolls! Absolutely make sure Savant is on your list when visiting! read more

Really good food. Nice cozy setting. Great service. Good place to enjoy a quiet evening.

Our first "night out" on St. Croix and this is where we landed! Recommended by friends who tried but were unsuccessful at getting a reservation, this place was worth the challenge it took for us to get there (staying at Carambola and the taxi situation is horrendous). We were late to our reservation but still had to wait for our table...just goes to show that folks were enjoying their meals so much that they didn't want to leave. Anyhoo. The wait staff was eclectic and eccentric and only added to the fact that we were seated in this grotto-like, multi level courtyard that was both rustic and elegant all at the same tine. The food was well worth any wait: short ribs that melted in my mouth (gnocchi was ok - it was just sitting in an au jus concoction that seemed out of place) and the potstickers that were crispy and delicate made me roll my eyes back in my head! My husband!'s ceviche could have used a little squeeze of citrus to brighten but it was fresh and flavorful. The lobster on the surf & turf seemed tough as he pulled it from its shell but was amazingly tender and delicious when he bit into it and it had just the right char. Dessert was a spiced rum cake that reminded me of the rum cakes my mom used to make: buttery and moist. Could have used a little more rum but, it was good just the same. Fantastic place for a couple or couples to enjoy... I wouldn't bring children, but that's just me. read more

Savant is easily one of the most unique and atmospheric restaurants on STX. I was blessed to order the Mahi eggrolls as my appetizer and the Rack of Lamb for my entrée. For the entirety of my meal my eyes were rolling into the back of my head. It was fantastic. Unfortunately, the pie that we ended the night on was not to my liking. I wished that I hadn't had any desert at all so as to hold on to the joy of my meal. Regardless, I love this place, and next time I'm on the island I will be going here once more. read more

Good food..Good pricing & parking..Nice place to relax & eat..You won't be disappointed

Small and quaint restaurant and bar with a somewhat limited but interesting menu. A few vegetarian options pair with lots of seafood. Prices are high-ish, but so is the rest of STX. With an app, main dish and drink, expect to spend $100 per person. Staff is attentive and wine list is good. Ambience is intimate. Reservations are recommended, but our party of 4 was able to walk in on a weekday evening and get seated immediately. read more

Food magnificent!!! Service spot on!!! Drinks...just right!!! No, mosquitos and temperature just right!!! It's a Goldie-Locks Story!!! read more

This has to be the best tasting food i have ever had. The service is out of this world and I want to eat there every time I visit St Croix.

Food was great. Fresh food and amazing ambiance. The staff were friendly and very accommodating.

Sat at the bar for a night cap and dessert. Didn't have a reservation but was still quickly taken care of on a busy evening. The interior is quaint and the ambience is dark but inviting. Exceptional service, looking forward to dinner next time. read more

Sooooo divine. The food is wonderful. Must try! Make a reservation tho, it's a pretty small place but so unique and lots of character/charm

Came here last week for the second time and it was just as amazing as it was four years ago! They have a really nice wine selection. A bunch of wines you mostly can't find in USA on wine lists. Staff was amazing. Super attentive, friendly and professional. We shared the calamari, mahi egg rolls and mahi ceviche for appetizer. All were so delicious but for me the stand out was the ceviche - SO FRESH!! All the fish we got was caught fresh from local waters. Our customer who is a local asked the waiter about who caught the fish and he knew the exact person , so cool! For my meal I shared the lobster with one other person and it was out of this world tender. The portion was huge (hence why we shared) and included asparagus and mashed potatoes over the most delicious sauce. HIGHLY recommend. My colleagues enjoyed their lobsters too (5 of us got it) and one loved the bone in pork chop. This place has to be my favorite in st Croix. call ahead for reservations. There's indoor and outdoor (in beautiful back garden area) seating, thank you savant!! Ps - go birds!! read more

We enjoyed the atmosphere the courtyard is a nice place to see and eat some good food. The cassava crusted fish of the day was delicious. We had key lime pie for dessert and it was one of the best we ever had. My blind grandfather could see that Mike was a knowledgeable and attentive server and we appreciated him for his service. Although he did burn the kitchen down a couple times but what can you do? He was blind. Next time we are on the island we will visit Wish the the chair was a recliner but that's a personal preference. All in all great job. Our woodford old fashioneds were a little too sweet but not an issue. The food did come before the drinks and we did not receive water until after we had our drinks. Not major issues but things to point out to make someone else's experience better. 5 stars because the food was that good. read more

The best food and service I had all trip!! This is a must stop. Make a reservation though! I loved the Filet! read more

When we (as a family) look at the restaurants, we look at service and food. Neither shined this night. Service was bad, it was 25+ minutes until the waiter came to us and another 10+ until our wine made to the table. If we weren't with two teenagers who eat every 1.5 hours, we would have left the restaurant with $10 on the table for the water. Once the waiter got our order and food came, the food portion of the review starts. The appetizers were good (even though I felt they needed more pepper). The main courses were hit and miss- my son was served too little food, my fish was dry, my other son's steak was ok ("I've had better steak at home"). To finish it off, we got overcharged for my wife's entree - yes it was only $2, but I'm pretty sure the other entrées were high as they were listed as market price on the menu. It's too bad as the place was recommended by multiple people. read more

Such a delicious meal and exceptional service. I got the filet mignon and my husband got the brick chicken. the meals were so good!

Definitely a cute and romantic spot - food was good but you really come here for the ambience. I feel like this place may have been better pre-COVID, and it was still really delicious but not stellar. Service was also very friendly and professional. We sat outside in the back courtyard which was dimly lit. Wahoo Fish: Delicate and tender as expected, served on a bed of rice and asparagus. Seared Tuna: Cooked just medium rare, this was pretty fresh and went well with the sweet potatoes and peas. The outside was a bit salty on some sections though, not that evenly seasoned. Chai Cheesecake: This was DELICIOUS. It's a denser type of cheesecake, but the chai flavor was very unique. Wish the crust was a bit thicker though! read more

Food was amazing and service was on point. Was exceptionally happy with the whole experience until I witnessed what I can only assume was the manager yelling and belittling our waitress. He was extremely unprofessional and yelled at her in the middle of a full restaurant and created a scene. Ruined the entire night for us. The young girl was doing a great job so not sure what it was about but we felt sorry and embarrassed for her. 5 stars for everything except that rude manger, negative stars for that negative unhappy man. read more

ambiance is great. we sat outside. food was really good. service was busy but we didn't feel neglected.

Hard to find. Small sign. Lovely old look inside. Excellent service. Only eat there once but both colleague and I enjoyed the food. We both had fish for main course. Lightly cooked with great subtle flavours. read more

One of our favorite places for dinner on the island - with my absolute favorite dish "Lazy Lobster." Positively scrumptious! The staff is always fun and attentive and the food is excellent. We enjoy eating upstairs in the dining room when we want to be cool, but nothing beats the grotto-like bar and dining room "downstairs." Savant - please never change! read more

We never got to the food because the smell was so bad. We chose to eat inside because of the heat but it smelled moldy and musty. We left.

Food was great and the ambience was nice but it was overpriced and the service was pretty slow.

A St. Croix, regular stop. Always can depend on a good meal here. not very attractive from the outside, but charming in the courtyard and in the dining area. Well worth the trip. read more

Incredible!! My boyfriend and I made a reservation here for 6pm on a Tuesday evening and I'm so glad we did. The service was outstanding, food was delicious and the atmosphere was so romantic. We had the grilled calamari for an appetizer and ordered a bottle of wine. For three main meal, I had one of the daily specials which was a curry mahi with rice and it was easily one of the best mahi entrees that I have ever had!! My boyfriend had one of the other specials which was rack of lamb and he absolutely loved it! The portions were the perfect size and we both left feeling full and satisfied. Our waitresses, Bree, was so sweet! She was friendly, attentive and gave us some awesome local tips for the island. Thanks, Bree!! It is a little bit expensive here but it's the Virgin Island so it is to be expected. Also a reservation is definitely needed. read more

Had a delicious dinner, well served in a charming location. Chef David is a culinary magician! Thank you.

We were so hoping that this restaurant would be amazing but it (unfortunately) fell short of our expectations. We made a reservation here for our honeymoon and we're disappointed. We ordered a drink from the cocktail list that included premium liquor (which fell short) only to later find out from our waitress that they never had the premium liquor and instead used well. Service was hit or miss - We had to wave down our waitress after waiting 15 minutes to place a drink order. The specials weren't adequately described (we ordered fettuccini lobster - which when delivered was actually a version of pad Thai described as teriyaki lobster) needless to say not what we were expecting. No dessert menu offered (or any treat for our honeymoon reservation - made sure to tell them in advance) and an overall letdown. If you are looking for overpriced and underdelivered frill - this is the place. Genuine service, flavor, and quality.... I'd look elsewhere. read more

From start to finish this place really killed it!! Went to all 3 of the usvi and me and my girlfriend thought this meal was hands down the best! The service was great and the food even better. The ambiance was subpar to none, we sat in the back outdoor/indoor area and weren't disappointed at all. We had the beef short ribs and the bacon wrapped double cut pork chop, WOW! Even the black coffee was great, cool drip coffee set up that also tasted great. Plenty of parking for all restaurant guests right at the restaurant, and if you've been to Christiansted before you know how tough parking can be, no other restaurants down there really have there own parking. Very very pleased and hope to return here! read more

We have been coming to the island for years, and finally decided to try Savant after hearing how amazing it was from multiple people. This is our new FAVORITE restaurant on the island, especially since Keith and Jewel took such great care of our every need. They made our experience unforgettable. The food was outrageous! We can't wait to come back! read more

My husband surprised me with a trip to St. Croix for my 50th birthday and had made reservations at Savant to celebrate my special day. He got SO many points for this one! The restaurant is small and we almost missed it, passing the little sign on the outside of the front. You can sit inside or outside in the courtyard. I suggest outside, it's where the locals sit and the fun people are. The ambiance is rustic, but elegant in a way. I couldn't decide on a cocktail, so I asked the bartender, Jameson (I'm not sure he spells his name this way, but well, he's a bartender, soooo...), to make me a special cocktail commemorating my 50th birthday. He did not disappoint! All I know is that it had Bumbi rum in it and it was delicious!! I'm going to suggest it be put on the menu and be called the "Glo 50"! My husband ordered the Duck Two Ways and he said it was the best duck he's ever had. I got the Stuffed Filet with the Jack Daniels Oyster Sauce. Let me tell y'all....when I say if I could've bottled that sauce up and snuck onto my carryon bag, I would've! I'd put that stuff on ice cream! My fillet was actually a tad overcooked, but was still so flavorful and tender, it melted in my mouth (and I'm from Texas - I KNOW good steak!). Yvette was our waitress and was excellent with her service and suggestions. If you're booking a trip to St. Croix, make a reservation at Savant before you even get on the plane! Say hi to Jameson and Yvette for me! read more

Just visited Savant in late August. I had high hopes for this place. We had a rough midpoint but ended up being great. I can't review the cocktails but the wine suggestion was a great one. The service was good. I had the we had the Mahi egg rolls special which were great (and i don't eat fish) and the special salad for appetizer. Both were delish. My boyfriend ordered the seafood pasta (another special) which he loved. I went with the stuff filet mignon because I love steak, and I was sadly disappointed. The taste was great! but the meat was tough, which is not what you order filet for. After giving a really good effort, I ended up sending it back. Our server suggested the parmesan crusted chicken over capellini. That ended up being incredible!!! We ended it off with a slice of rum cake. The atmosphere was super cute, we sat in the outside courtyard. Was a nice romantic evening. read more

Ambiance and food are amazing! Jameson is a great bartender! Food is pricey but worth every cent.

Best food I've ever eaten.. if I could kiss the chef I would. Ate 3 appetizers and we both had an entree and dessert.. our plates were cleaned spotless. This place deserves 6 stars... THE APPETIZERS ARE AMAZING. Get atleast 3 you won't regret it. This is the food equivalent to sex with the person of your dreams. Trust me you won't regret it. read more

The wine list and service were top notch, but both our dishes--from the specials menu--were disappointing. Bison osso buco was incredibly tough and had been seared in a pan with fish, so all that came through was burnt fish. The pan seared Mahi was tough and dry, served with overcooked, cold broccolini and basic white rice. Overall, an expensive mediocre meal. read more

Great personal service beyond what is expected. Intimate and elegant without being fussy. Eateries on St. Croix are gifted in making you feel always connected which isn't always the case with experiences from someone as well traveled as I am. read more

sit in the patio at night. magical. great specials and great food. great service too. my favorite place for a little upscale highlight.

Very disappointing! Our family had an amazing meal here last year and couldn't wait to dine here again on our last evening on St. Croix. From the get go things went awry. When I made the reservation 2 days before I spoke with the owner, Tom, and attempted to pre- order 2 baked lobster dinners. He told me he couldn't guarantee it since the people that supply the lobsters were off island. When we arrived and asked about it we were told they sold out earlier in the evening. My husband was very disappointed and said the owner said he would reserve two if he had them. Our waiter, Keith, said he was very sorry, that Tom was not in and he'd like to make right by giving us a free dessert and appetizer. The four of us all ordered from the Specials menu which clearly described each dish. We asked for one substitution of sauce and starch. Our meals arrived the sauce and starch were NOT substituted. When asked the server said "Oh the kitchen said there were no substitutions on the Specials." That should have been made clear when the order was taken to the kitchen, not when the meal is brought to the table. Our son kept looking at his plate and the Specials board 15 feet away. The vegetable and starch were not what was described on the board. When we asked about it, the server came back and said he was very sorry that there was miscommunication with the kitchen. They were out of some of the dish components. Again, that should have been immediately made clear when the order reached the kitchen. To add insult to injury, the closest tables to us all had the correct SAME dishes as described on the Specials sign. We spoke to the "acting manager " he shrugged, denied any problem and said that our server agreed to take 30% off the order and offered a courtesy dessert. They never offered to replace the dish or bring us what we ordered. I'm 60 years old and have NEVER been treated so poorly at a restaurant, and a pricey one at that. This was inexcusable. (What if you have allergies or diet restrictions and your meal comes out totally wrong with no excuse?") These we're $50 a plate dishes or there about. We we're terribly disappointed!!! We will never return and hope this review turns you off to going to Savant! read more
