Small spot but great service & food. I had the salmon with risotto & I cleaned my plate, which I never do. Make a reservation! We also got lucky & found a parking spot. read more

This was an absolutely amazing dinner. Everything was delicious and some of the menu options were a bit surprising in a good way. Our waitress Denisse was great and friendly. Kept are drinks filled and checked on us frequently. App: we ordered the Baked Bread w/ Gorgonzola Fondue. This was feliz. The bread was tasty on its own and the fondue made it even better. I'd order this again and again. Entrée: Stuffed Lobster Special: The whole portion is huge and so delicious. The lemon cream sauce the butter was tossed in was a perfect pairing. My friend ordered this but I wanted to snatch it off her plate. BBQ Platter: There were ribs, shrimp, chicken and a papaya apple slaw. It all tasted so good. The meat on the ribs fell off the bone. The shrimp was perfectly fried and HUGE and the chicken breast was moist. Damn this was good. Catch of the day was Wahoo served with some veggies and saffron rice. It was so good. Oh, the wahoo was topped with a pineapple pico de Gallo. Amazing! Dessert: Crème Brûlée: So good and a good size! Papaya Key Lime Pie: Huge and delicious. Get it! I will visit this restaurant every single time I step went onto the island! read more

Without a doubt this was the best resterant we ate in, in St. Thomas. Chef Brian absolutely nails it. Great taste with a French flair. The bartender Matt makes the best Old Fashion in town. I highly suggest this resterant but make sure you make a reservation. read more

This use to be called Epernay, it was one of my absolute favorite restaurants so I was sad to hear it had changed owners. But decided to give it a try. Getting reservations wasn't easy! If you can try and plan weeks in advance! Reservations were for 8.15 we got there early and since our table wasn't ready they offered us to have a seat on the benches across from the restaurant and came to serve us a drink there. They even brought a little "amuse bouche" for my friend who was absolutely famished! We had the blue cheese dip, the scallops and mussels risotto, the salmon with pesto and lobster with coconut curry. Everything was amazing! I wouldn't be able to pick a favorite! I'll definitely be going back if I ever visit St.Thomas again. read more

What a great meal. The food was top notch, along with the service. We had the soup, snapper and duck breast. All the flavors melded so well, along with the great mixed drinks. read more

Heard great reviews. Customer service was A++. But the food was underwhelming. Ordered: -- the mussels -- which were overcooked. -- smoked ribs -- dry. -- pasta ravioli -- smelled like dog food. The worst shocker of all was the bill.. i almost fainted after seeing it. read more

Wonderful Saturday night dinner, Courtney the owner got us a seat at the bar with wonderful Matt. Meal was excellent. Calamari, pork belly to start.. lovely. Had the mixed green fog salad.. great greens. Finished with wahoo.. excellent cooked perfectly. Great drink recommendation from Matt, got to meet the chef. Must try when you come to st Thomas. read more

Good service & great food! Pork chop & chicken entree's are fabulous! Would definitely recommend. Call for reservations! read more

Our Wednesday night reservations gave us a view of the parking lot. When we were brought to the table we were introduced to it as a cozy spot with a view of the water. A bit insulting as we know what water views look like and this wasn't one of them. Be sure to specify where you'd like to sit as we were told only those that request it get inside. Our server was pleasant. The food was fine, nothing memorable. The hostess was jumpy and lacked sincerity. read more

The ambience of the restaurant was very nice, but inside seating can accommodate maybe 12 people I think they count on good weather to eat outside on their much larger patio. The appetizers were excellent, I highly recommend French bread with Gorgonzola cheese. I do not recommend the halibut, it was very dried out. Service was excellent, restaurant is pricey$$$ read more

Dined at Sea La Vie on 6/27/23 and had a fantastic meal. We shared a variety of appetizers and the steak frites amongst 3 and it was perfect, food was delicious. The staff was incredibly genuine and happy to serve us, we will be back next time! read more

One of the best dining experiences we have had in St Thomas. Everything from the service, presentation and flavors were amazing. We were greeted at the door and promptly seated. The wait staff was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. The owners explained where some of the ingredients were locally sourced. Food came out hit? Beautiful and perfectly seasoned. We hope to be back in our next trip. read more

Okay, Sea La Vie was my absolute favorite restaurant in all of Saint Thomas. It wasn't my wallet's favorite spot, but it was mine. First of all, every appetizer and meal that we got here was absolutely delicious. They brought us bread and a sample of butternut squash soup before our food came out and it hyped me up for our meals so much (rightfully so). I ordered lobster and scallops and, when I asked the staff for a wine recommendation, they paired it perfectly. It is a little nicer of a place, so I'd recommend dressing up a bit! That being said, my friends and I kind of "landed" here, so we were just dressed in some jean shorts and cute tops and they still let us in and treated us with so much respect! Definitely coming back here again when I'm in the area! read more

Very small, intimate restaurant that also offers bar seating and patio seating for dinner. We met Courtney, the owner and Matt the bartender. Wonderful food and atmosphere. They offered 6 additional specials in addition to the regular menu. It's a hidden gem in St. Thomas. Thank you for a lovely evening. read more

A cozy dining experience with excellent food and fantastic staff. Courtney and Cody have created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere and serve up a nice selection of wines to accompany a delicious menu. Lobster Mac and Cheese, roasted brussel sprouts and the generous portion of filet mignon were filling and tasted so good. The passionfruit key lime pie topped it all off beautifully! A great place to cap off our adventure in the Virgin Islands and BVI. read more

Fantastic spot for a great meal with great people on St Thomas. Courtney & Cody are great hosts and the rest of the staff is very welcoming. From apps to dessert was truly excellent. Can't wait to go back read more

Amazing! We absolutely enjoyed everything about this beautiful hidden gem. Food, vibe and the small family feel. The chef even came to introduce home self as we were all so impressed. read more

Staying at Olga's Fancy, we decided to walk around the area and stumbled upon a gem of a place. Definitely a boutique / romantic fine dining location. To start with, we enjoyed calamari and salt pork appetizers and for our main entrees we enjoyed the shrimp and rib-eye specials. To end our scrumptious dinner we enjoyed the passion fruit key lime pie. Bring your appetite (but not your small child or loud uncle)! read more

Phenomenal experience at this restaurant. The food was absolutely incredible, every single dish we ordered was amazing. There is not one thing I could complain about. The servers were extremely professional and courteous and so helpful in deciding what dishes to order. The atmosphere was perfect! Even the chef would come out and greet the tables and ask how everything was. Cannot wait to come back here! read more

Food was great. Place was small and quaint. Ask for Kara the waitress for an even more memorable experience!

This was hands down my favorite meal on St. Thomas. Food was incredible and service was excellent. My husband and I were looking for a spot to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary, and we were so happy that a friend recommended Sea La Vie. We were lucky to snag two seats at the bar, but I highly recommend calling ahead a day or two before and getting a reservation. (Place is somewhat small and seating is only open until 9pm since they close at 9:30pm, so it fills up quickly.) Really cute, intimate atmosphere. Everything we ate and drank was awesome...Stand outs were the garlic bread with Gorgonzola dipping sauce, the ribeye, and the key lime pie with coconut macaroon crust. Great addition to the food scene in St. Thomas! read more

Well, I took one bite of my steak and couldn't breathe. I proceeded to gag and choke. No one from the restaurant came over to help. My daughter called our cab driver and rushed us out of there. YES, we paid our bill although I only had a bite. The other 3 were given boxes by our waiter to take their meal home. There was a sauce on my steak that closed my throat up. I took Benadryl and was able to breathe again. We asked for the ingredients in the sauce, but the owner did not reply for 5-6 days and only when my daughter made a post on another blog about the incident. Funny, another woman the night before had the same experience. Just saying....very lacking in PR at this place. read more

This place was great. The food was wonderful (we had beet salad, crab cake, and scallop appetizers) and we split the grouper special. The service was so good - friendly, happy, and thoroughly enjoyable. I highly recommend. read more

Excellent new restaurant. Service and food are great. The bacon crusted scallops are phenomenal. The fresh catch of the day was mahi mahi and it was great too. The real star of the show is the BREAD appetizer. read more

Wow! Just wow. Beautiful people and amazing food. Paris on the islands is here. The food is perfection. The ambience is enchanting. The staff feel like being at a family event with the guests. Makes you want to stay for desert and more. The Christmas breeze comes through the door; the charm is eternal. read more

Came here on a recommendation from a local chef (which should tell you all you need to know). Especially as his recommendation came from coming here on opening day. Less than a month from opening the service was phenomenal, the owner came by to say hi and you could tell she cares about great food, great service, and great wine, dinner here was a delight. My wife had the scallop and shrimp pasta and I had one of the best fish dishes of my life in the tilefish special. The owner recommended a Yealand Sauvignon Blanc, a self-sustaining winery in New Zealand, and it paired wonderfully. It's a quaint restaurant with a thoughtfully-done mix of old-world and beach style and we'll be back in a couple days to celebrate the New Year with them. Cheers to a success! read more

My son and his lady opened this beautiful restaurant after rebuilding from top to bottom, after Hurricane Maria Hurricane Irma blew the island apart! The inside is a fabulous place to eat or have drinks at the bar. Day and night for 1 year and what they've created is amazing. The locals are in love with it! Let's get the tourists there now! read more

If you should be fortunate enough to come across this restaurant, please invite me to dinner. The food is amazing especially the homemade pasta and the chef specials. I can't get enough of this amazing place. Call for reservations as space is limited but even if you don't, trust me it's more than worth the wait. read more

Wonderful, friendly service in a charming little space. Food was excellent . Fabulous wine list.

This restaurant is phenomenal all together. Between the service, and the food, you could not ask for a better experience. We came here for our anniversary and were treated as well as can be expected, and the food did not disappoint. This is without a doubt, some of the best, if not the best, food on the island. I would recommend to anyone who is visiting St. Thomas. read more

Great restaurant-food was delicious and beautifully displayed. Service was excellent. Romantic setting, beautiful view of the water from outside dining area. Highly recommend. read more

The service was very good - Amy was attentive to us. Garden salad was good. The steak with bacon was a tender and tasty entre. The lobster sauce was a bit foreign. The bread pudding a bit dry but sweet end to the dinner. The Beckstoffer cab was outstanding. read more

Called for a reservation for our family of six and was informed "this is an adult only restaurant" and that "we aren't licensed for minors." How very odd. Our teens have dined all over the world, but are apparently barred from dining at Sea La Vie. Oh well. read more

Just showed up here with a 5:30pm reservation. When I made the reservation over the phone, I was not told children were not allowed due to "licensing". I showed up and the hostess saw the kids and said she told us she said over the phone that she asked us if we were adults. Total lie. Restaurant was empty and we drove 30 minutes to get there. Terrible communication even if they're not allowed to have children which I've never heard of on the island or anywhere else in the world for that matter. If you don't want kids then you need to tell people over the phone every single time someone calls for a reservation. read more

This place was a bright spot when it comes to food on our trip! Our family all agreed it was that each of our meals was our favorite meal of the week! Best place we've been too for food on St Thomas. The woman serving us was the absolute sweetest! And everyone was up to social distancing rules definitely don't pass on this treasure of a restaurant. thank you Sea La Vie! read more

This little gem was a recommendation from one of the staff at the Marriott. We were looking forward to a great meal as all the reviews seemed to point in that direction.While I admit that the food was very good, the service and the owner attitude seemed a bit lacking. We were early for our reservation and I had asked on the phone if they had a bar we could sit at and have a drink before dinner, was told yes of course. When we arrived 30 minutes prior to our reservation to sit and have that drink, we were ushered out of the restaurant by the owner and told that we were "early and that we should go to one of the other bars near by because the bar here is full". This was not a professional suggestion to go to another bar, this felt like we had done something wrong and were being scolded for being early. Since we were looking forward to eating here we went next door to Bella Blu and sat at their lovely bar and had that drink. We came back at our appointed reservation time and were seated by the owner, who at that point could not have been more welcoming. She asked what type of water we would like to have and then NEVER came with it, nor did our waiter until we asked again. Strike 1. The waiter was very distracted by a table of 4 that were in the middle of dinner, but he seemed friendly enough. We ordered a drink, I asked about the beers that they had, he started to tell me, but quickly became distracted by the table of 4's needs and never came back to continue with the beer selections. Strike 2. We ordered the Charcuterie appetizer and he asked that we order the entire meal at that time. So we did. About 15 minutes later, our dinners came out. NO appetizer. The waiter apologized and it was obvious that he felt bad, but for me that was Strike 3. The owner never came over to see if we liked our meal, or to even chat like she did at all the other tables around us. This is no way to build your business and although we enjoyed the food, because of the service and attitude of the owner I would not recommend this place. read more

Flawless. My friend and I were looking for a good seafood meal, but wanted something affordable. This place nailed it. The food, service, and environment hit the spot. We're glad we heard of this place and are really looking forward to suggest it to our friends. read more
