    This was after a day in St John. After we got off the ferry, my lady and I were super hungry. We were walking and saw the ambiance of this place and were like...oh yeah this is the spot for dinner before we head back to Amalie. Let me tell you - the food was exquisite!!! We had every course. The jerk shrimp tostadas were good. The bread was also great absurd a nice complement to wait for our main courses. I had the lamb chops and my lady had a nice seafood. I have nothing but 10/10 for every course. We had crème brûlée and affogato for dessert. I love affogato. Spectacular experience, and well worth it for the amount of food we got for $200. In DC, that would be a drink and a main course. We both had multiple drinks and plates. This is a food experience that will stay ingrained in my head.

    I hosted my 40th birthday at The Easterly while a group of us was visiting St. Thomas. The service was so good. The waiter did an amazing job catering to our group of 12. The seafood was so fresh and delicious. The tomahawk was seasoned and cooked to perfection! I even got to do a birthday shot with the bartender as it was his birthday too!

    The food: Really good The ambiance: Good vibes with good music The service: on top of it and very attentive The staff: De'Janae was great! Beautiful personality, very welcoming, attentive, helpful and made some great recommendations The location: Parking is a challenge in the area. We drove and I spent almost 25 minutes circling the area for avail parking. The surprise: 4% convenience fee which is not explained or stated. The gratuity of 20% added to a party of 4 (although for service received this time-no complaints) other than wanting to inform others The Easterly was good and glad we tried it. Even thought it took forever to find parking. The restaurant has an immediate good vibe with music playing, the view out to the bay with boats in the background, and modern flair. You are immediately attended to by staff and your waitress. De'Janae was a sweetheart - Such a warm, friendly, and helpful waitress. Now, let's talk food. For a small plate the tuna crudo was delicious. The spreads and breads with the beet hummus and feta spread was a well balanced appetizer of bread and spread before the meal with a drink in hand. I found myself dipping into the beet hummus more than the feta. The only thing i did not like was the Vessup alcoholic drink. It lacked flavor and any taste of the tequila I had upgraded. My wife loved her seafood risotto (i didn't like the truffle oil), the kids loved the shrimp tostadas and the added on lobster tail. The snapper on special was good; however, way too many bones. Having to be really careful and pick the bones out takes the joy out of eating such a good fish (too much work). Would choose something else All in all, good and would come again to try different things on the menu. It's a little pricey though. For a family of four it was $$$$ which translates to about 400 for us.

    We had our last dinner in St Thomas at Easterly and it was the perfect last dinner. The food, the ambiance and the service everything was 10/10. Our host Kiki was so sweet and professional. My fiancée is vegetarian and the only vegetarian dish wasn't available, Kiki suggested an alternative that wasn't on the menu "Cauliflower steak" and the dish was delicious even the non vegetarian tried it and loved it. Highly recommended to try the steak, the portion is big enough for 2 at least. At the end, we were offered home made coconut macaroons for to go, we tried them later and they are very well made. Can't wait to be back!

    Service was amazing. Heather went above and beyond to make our evening fantastic. She was knowledgeable of the dishes and always able and capable of delivering great service. The ambiance is lovely. There are a lot of fans. It gets annoying sometimes and a little windy. It sounds silly but it was very noticeable. It didn't distract from the dining but we did take note. The dishes and cups are some type of pottery. They were awkward and heavy. They are cool to look at but not very functional. They belong in a museum. The food is good and of very high quality. The apps really stole the show. The avocado flatbread is bursting with flavor and the spreads were incredible with the homemade focaccia. Ridiculously good. The entrees however even with their incredible high quality wahoo and chicken lacked pop and flavor. They both seemed bland and missing that punch of flavor I would expect at a high end establishment. Maybe they dialed it down to accentuate the flavor of the meat but they fell a little flat. Desert was fine, chocolate cake with some vanilla ice cream. But the coffee. The coffee is served again in an awkward pottery cup. It's also sold by the cup. It's good local coffee, but a per cup price seemed extreme. They also served it with full cream which curdled in the coffee and was just a bit unpleasant. Not unexpected, but for high end coffee at that price and per cup it was just ok. Overall we really enjoyed our meal and experience

    The ambiance at The Easterly is absolutely beautiful--tropical, breezy, and thoughtfully designed with island vibes that instantly set the mood for a relaxing evening. We stopped by specifically for their oyster happy hour and were really pleased with the dozen Rockefeller--fresh, flavorful, and a great value during the special. The complimentary bread they brought out was unexpectedly amazing--warm, soft, and addictively good. Drinks were decent, nothing over-the-top, but they paired well with the setting. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and I'd definitely consider coming back for dinner next time to explore more of the menu.

    Not bad! Just overpriced for the quality of the food. The mussels were good, and the tuna ceviche was amazing. Service was very kind and attentive, and the outdoor seating with a breeze off the water was lovely!

    This was probably our favorite meal of the trip; however, for the price point, there were some hiccups that should not have happened. When checking online for availability, it looked like they were completely booked and we were happy we were able to snag a reservation; yet, when we got there, there was noone there but us. We were greeted by a friendly host who recommended we did not sit close to the outside as there was nothing they could do about the mosquitos. Our server was equally friendly and eager to answer any of our questions. We quickly decided on what to eat and then the wait began. Some fight broke out outside and all the staff ran out - they were all gone for about 10 minutes and I was (impatiently) waiting for my drink and the brussel sprouts we had ordered as an app. By the time they were back, our food came out. At that point, we had zero interest in the drink or the brussel sprouts - of which we advised our server. He said the drink would be comped so I agreed to try it. Unfortunately, the drink tasted quite watered down and wasn't impressive. But then he brought out the brussel sprouts anyway and we were charged for them. The brussel sprouts were okay, but I've had better. Onto our entrees now. My friend got the roasted chicken and it was quite tasty. I got the wahoo cooked as recommended by the server and it was a bit undercooked for my taste. I ate the outside of the fish which was good and smokey, but left most of the middle on the plate. We decided not to even bother with dessert. Overall, not the worst experience I've had, but somewhat upsetting at that price point. Note that they charge an automatic 20% tip.

    I was so excited to come here but was let down over and over again. We made reservations and came a little early. The hostess took forever to seat us and once she finally did the waiter took forever to take our order. We ended up getting two glasses of Prosecco and ceviche to start, but that was the end of it. They literally took one hour to get the ceviche out to us and never once came back to ask if we would like another drink. So once the ceviche came we were like wth is this? It looked like seafood salad and wasn't good at all. So after that debacle we decided to make plans to eat dinner somewhere else. After we ate I paid the waiter and he never brought my change back and I had to walk up there after about 15 minutes and say, "Where is my change?" He was like, "Oh, sorry I forgot." SMH! This place has a great vibe but the service is terrible. I highly doubt that we will come back here the next time we are on the island. I am only giving it two stars because of the location and atmosphere, everything else sucked! I do not recommend!

    The food at the Easterly was excellent. My husband had the Seafood Risotto and I had the Pork Chop w Hoisin sauce. Both were delicious. Our Server's name is Kiki and she was so nice and knowledgeable about the menu. She truly made our experience there memorable. The ambiance we very romantic, we were seated close to the water so that added to the atmosphere.

    Lauren S.

    Such attentive service, the best flavor combinations in their food (the chicken with avocado, plantain, corn ribs, and glaze was AMAZING), and such an elevated, sexy, beachy vibe as well. Definitely a good spot for foodies and lovers of aesthetic spots alike!

Pelicans Beach Bar is dangerously good at making cocktails go in and having the fun come out of you! $5 mix drinks, $4 beers, $8 crafted frozen all day for happy hour! This little 7 seat bar at the Ritz Carlton Resort is the farthest down the beach next to the serenity pool. Shhhhhhhhh......be quiet.....yea right when happy hour is all day and your bartenders are mad cool! Not sure of why they put this next to the "library" section of the resort but this bar just opened up in November. Our bartender Alex and her side kick Ryan were awesome compliments to the beachy view of St. John and our delicious cocktails. My favorites were the Lilikoi Mango Mojito and Caribbean Fiesta (not on menu but Alex knows of how to make them). For those Patron lovers like my hubby, try the Sandy Day, he loved it! Sushi is Japanese for yummylicious! Pelicans Beach Bar expands (seating wise) during the evening to a few 4 tops for an all you can eat sushi pig out session every Wednesday from 5p-8p for $45! Thursday's is taco day from 5p-8p with unlimited rice, beans, chips and salsa! You've already tortured yourself in dieting to get into bikini ready shape, let this sushi and taco fun be your free pass to choose your love of food, over not wanting to get fat! If staying at the Ritz these two nights should be checked out. If you don't want to chillax under the stars while listening to music next to tiki torches, you can box up your grub and take it back to your room. Tacos and sushi not your thing? You can order from Coconut Cove, another restaurant on the resort and they'll deliver your food to you at this bar. If not staying at the Ritz, great bay beach, which Pelicans Beach Bar sits on is actually a public beach. There is hidden free public beach parking past the main hotel lobby port cochere and down a steep road. Pictures attached show the way. My only complaint is that the bathroom locations seem like the distance needed to get to St. John. But that's the laziness (aka selective participation) in me that gets stronger with each cocktail! Cheers!

Drinks are only $8-$10 each, so we were at this spot several times per day. Really made our trip and stay at the Ritz Residences more enjoyable.
