What a memorable night my husband and I had while celebrating our honeymoon. We originally had reservations across the island and morning of, I decided to stay more local to our hotel and I made reservations at The Easterly. After reading the reviews and looking through photos, I was confident it would be a great spot! I cancelled my other reservation and made a same day reservation for 7:30pm. I knew we would be running about 5 min late so I called to inform the restaurant and they were very kind and understanding. When we arrived we were welcomed into a gorgeous restaurant! Our server who's been mentioned quite a bit in previous posts was next level amazing! Service was spectacular and the food was all worthy of a Michelin star. Our night was perfect! Thank you to our server Anjani! You are a special soul and we thank you for your memorable service and gift to us. Highly recommend. read more

Food, atmosphere, drinks, and service....TOP NOTCH! Riley, our server was so great. Fantastic date night while on vacation.

A must try in St. Thomas! It was my first time here and our waiter Ajani was absolutely amazing! The food was divine and I will definitely be returning on my next visit to St. Thomas! read more

Malachi was a very good server, food was incredible. Ambiance very relaxed. Highly recommend.

Malachie was the best server I've ever had at a restaurant. 10/10 would totally recommend the delicious food and would go back no matter what. read more

The food was amazing, the ambiance was unmatched and our server Malachi was just a good person, very professional and kind.

I'm not sure what to say - this place is missing the "it" factor and most of the reviews seem wayyyy too generous. I've been coming to the island for over a decade and although this is by far the trendiest restaurant around, everything after the impressive decor missed the mark. After trying this place's dinner and brunch several times, I figured I've given it the chances it deserves. At risk of sounding highly repetitive, the menu felt like it was missing something as well. I read through it several times but felt like there still wasn't something that jumped out at me. This goes for both their brunch and dinner options. Moreover - it is obscenely overpriced for what it is. When I drop over $350 on a dinner for two, I better be wowed! I feel like if they just changed up a couple of things, refreshed their menu every once in a while and charged more fair prices, this place could be excellent. At the end of the day, I think The Easterly is mediocre management and average culinary creativity behind a very hip, very NYC facade. I so badly wanted it to exceed all expectations, but it just didn't. I guess the tourists can't help but be drawn to the bumping music and pretty lights, but sadly, I can't say it's worth it. read more

Riley is the Beyoncé of servers--flawless, charismatic, and absolutely stealing the spotlight every time she approached the table. My drink? Never empty. My heart? Definitely full. Riley anticipated my every need like she had a sixth sense. Plus, that smile? 11/10, would tip extra just to see it again. Riley, if you're reading this, you're amazing at your job, but also... are you free for dinner sometime? You deserve to be served for a change. read more

Everyone was very kind and accommodating. The food was delicious and the service was great! We had Malachi and he was very attentive and helpful. Highly recommend this place for dinner while you're in St. Thomas. The appetizers were my favorite! read more

food, service, and ambiance was great! Malachi was great too! Came here on vacation and would recommend!

This place was a hit! Gorgeous setting, incredible food and lovely staff. My only complaint is I wish the whole fish was bigger because it was delicious! Shrimp was perfectly cooked. They have a great wine list and the dessert, get the desserts! This was our favorite restaurant in St. Thomas. Wish we had gone twice! We made a reservation about two weeks before and there was plenty of availability. read more

My family and I had a wonderful dining experience at The Easterly Restaurant in St Thomas USVI last night. It was our favorite fine dining meal on the island. From our friendly greeting at the door through our dessert, it could not have been nicer. The atmosphere is elevated Caribbean with a Yucatán influence. The crispy seafood polenta, curry mussels, and fish spread were delicious starters. The seafood risotto and tamarind ribs were outstanding. The menu is interesting and well-prepared and presented. Our server Ajani was warm and attentive, and he treated us to a song he sung in a beautiful voice at the end--leaving a lovely lasting impression. read more

Delicious food! Open, relaxed atmosphere. The seafood risotto is very good. Ask for Malachi-great service!!

Food, service and ambiance were all incredible! Expensive but well worth it - Ajoni our server was amazing and informative - would go back 10/10! read more

WOW! I can't get over this place ! I came in with my mom this evening and everything from the service to the food to the atmosphere was EXQUISITE. My mom and I both said we hadn't had a meal or that quality of food in a VERY long time. The attention to detail and customer service was outstanding, our server Samantha was such a delight. She checked on us at all the right times, was so friendly, and helped with our food and drink choices, and made us laugh and overall have a great time :) I don't think I care to go to another restaurant in Redhook while I'm here honestly. I can't overstate the quality of the food. The hot plates are more like medium plates vs small (Samantha helped us with that ) , and only 3 filled my mom and I up perfectly. read more

We visited The Easterly on a quiet off season night. The food was absolutely delicious and the drinks were incredible. Ajani was our server, he was very attentive and did a fantastic job!! He was very kind and made some great recommendations. We had the tuna crudo, the pan seared tuna, and the lamb chops. They were all to die for! We also got espresso martinis and I think they were the best I've ever had. The ambiance was great as well. Definitely coming back to this gem of the Red Hook! read more

First time on St. Thomas and had to visit The Easterly. Our waiter was Ajani. Great guy!! Hard worker and very attentive!! Gave great suggestions!! Can't ask for anything more!! Thanks again Ajani!! By the way this is the same owners as the Longboard in St. John! Great place read more

.We did a ton of research about the local restaurant scene, and developed an expectation of the entire food scene before arriving. There was a a charge to reserve a table, and a lot of buzz about their patio. We jumped on board, got a reservation, and requested patio. Things did not start off great. While we were seated on the patio, it was incredibly tight and tiny (I'm 6'4 and 250). The table was in a corner and the way the tables were setup there was almost no room to get behind the table to sit without putting the other person in the walkway. My size didn't matter as they placed the table legs completely against the bench.....we had to move the table ourselves without interrupting the other patrons. Once we got situated, our server introduced himself. He was new but extremely attentive. He seemed a tad rushed at first and almost wanted us to order right away. The table to the side of us was upset and arguing with the manager. We noticed the same waiter also just sat a party15-16. It was starting to give disaster vibes.... We explained that we were going to work our way around the small plate menu and take our time. Once we verbalized that, he was completely receptive.....and totally rocked it! The GOOD - the Ahi crudo. The Serrano peppers gave it a slight heat and great crunch. Awesome small plate. The BAD - the Octopus w/Broccolini. While the sauce was amazing, the octopus and broccolini were both underdone. It was more work to cut up the plate then to eat...especially to share. NOTABLE - We also took in the ceviche. The plantains chips were a great touch, and the octopus was cooked better in this dish. They could have cut the portions smaller in the presentation to incorporate the different flavors with each bite. Again harder to share. Our server was awesome. He took that we were not rushed and took care of us with his larger party. We had a very nice evening and didn't feel like we had to wait for food or rushed to leave. His ability to make us feel at ease and attentiveness made the evening better. If we went back again, we would sit at the bar. More space, great decor, good vibe. We stayed away from the oysters since we were here in June (IYKYK). Also, they add 20% to every ticket. It's written on the menu in small print. It's clearly stated in your bill when presented but never discussed upfront. This was seen at first and actually forced us to go small plate instead of full entree. We didn't want to be shackled to a gratuity of that size based off our first impression. Keep in mind that I am a (30%) person when it comes to service. We also dined the night before for way less and got exceptional food and service.....we were corrupted by the first impression but our server brought us back. I added an additional tip for him not the food quality read more

Lovely place, lovely people and yummy food! Went there twice during my 1-week stay in St. Thomas. Mussels are a must have. Drinks are tasty. And the special/magical "Island Shot" that the bar tender introduced me to was soooo tasty and refreshing--if I remembered it correctly, it's pineapple, and a special ginger & tumeric vodka made on the island. The pork belly we got on the 2nd visit was pretty good too!! Only thing to note is that it's not a super expensive restaurant but definitely on the pricier side. Tips added, small dishes (which is decent size already) range about $30-$35, and entrees are $45-$50 read more

We came across The Easterly on Yelp. We glanced at the Menu and it looked promising so we decided to give it a try. We sat at the bar and Joe greeted us as soon as we sat down. What a great experience! From beginning to end Joe really catered to our every need. He had some great drink recommendations. The food arrived promptly and he was very good at timing our courses. We dined at The Easterly twice and both times were excellent experiences. I highly recommend you order the mussels, lobster, pork belly and honestly anything else that sounds interesting to you because I am sure you won't be disappointed. We also had oysters, and the grilled octopus both were well made and fresh. The only thing worth mentioning is their papaya salad is made differently. They put pieces of green papaya on a bed of baby greens with a nice vinaigrette. I enjoyed it throughly but it was not the usual papaya salad so when it arrived I was confused for a minute. Overall, The Easterly is hands down top dining option in Redhook, worth every penny. read more

Such an amazing place! I made reservations for dinner, but decided to sit at the bar. The food was amazing, and the drinks were a 10/10. The true definition of a craft cocktail. Billy was our server/bartender and he was the absolute best! He truly made our experience 10 times better -- provided us recommendations and we left completely satisfied. Thanks Billy and the Easterly team! read more

One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The staff was blatantly rude and dismissive to us. A staff member came up to our table 5 minutes after sitting down and literally TOLD US TO QUIET DOWN because we were creating noise. Meanwhile we were screaming because we couldn't hear each other over their loud clubby music. They didn't send our food out for nearly 1.5 hours and after inquiring why every table who sat down after us already got their food we were told to "tone it down." The most unbelievably rude staff I've ever met. They charged us for food they didn't send out, and after my pregnant friend was shaking because her blood sugar was low they send us 2 pieces of bread for $10! To top it off they charged us a FORCED $100 tip! Unconscionable. When I asked to speak to the GM the waiter just told me to bug off and threw this card at me. Told me to call North Carolina that where the owners were. Never ever ever going back. Hey Austin Schabel give me a call! read more

It's been a while since I've given any place such a poor review, but wow, Easterly pulled out all the stops to earn their one star. Pros - cute decor, a bit more elevated than other nearby options - interesting mocktails Cons - condescending, unempathetic, rude manager - impressively slow service - bland food - shady gratuity structure Ok, you want details because hey, how could a place with this star rating reaaaally be that bad? It's a little after 8pm on a Friday night. A group of 8 women come to Easterly, excited to celebrate their twin friends' 30th birthday. This should be a fun start to our first night together! It's not a particularly quiet restaurant. With the open air setting, overhead fans, long tables, and music playing, it's quite hard to hear each other. But we're laughing, chatting, having a good time. To our shock, a member of the staff comes over and asks us to turn down the volume. Well, that was embarrassing and uncalled for, but okay, we will try to keep it down even though, again, this was not a quiet restaurant. By this point, we've not only ordered drinks but put in our full order. We're still in good spirits. 9pm creeps up and we've gotten one of around eight appetizers at this point. Weird, maybe there's a backlog in the kitchen. Strange since tables seated after us are progressing at a much faster pace. 9:30pm another appetizer. Perhaps someone will come check in on us and explain the delay? Nope, our waitress basically disappears for the rest of the night. By 10pm, 2 hours after we've arrived, we had received 3 appetizers! Look, I get that maybe you forgot to put in our order or something went wrong in the kitchen, but someone could have come talked to us and apologized/explained what's going on. At this point, I flag down someone who appears to be a manager. I explain to him that I am pregnant and might actually pass out imminently if I don't get something in my system. I ask him if he could just bring me a piece of bread. He starts telling me about how a slice of bread is $5. Sir, I don't care if it's $20--if a pregnant woman is telling you she's about to pass out, your first response should be to run to the kitchen and get something, not waste time dillydallying. Completely unempathetic to the situation and focused on the wrong thing. I'm literally shaking and have asked him at this point for a piece of bread 5 times during this conversation. My friend overheard him and said, "Are you serious? We've been waiting hours for our food and you won't even comp a piece of bread for a pregnant woman?" She patiently explains to him that the service has been unacceptable and asks where our food is. He just kept making excuses and telling blatant lies. By now, the mood has shifted. We're all feeling disrespected and immensely hungry. It felt like they were targeting us and treating us differently as a group of women. At no point did anyone apologize, proactively check on us, or do anything to make up for the terrible service. I finally get my bread and scarf it down, the whole time thinking that I wouldn't have been treated this way had my husband been present. My other friend flags down the manager again and gives him a good talking to and asks them to take accountability. Again, more excuses and lies. In fact, he snaps at her to tone it down. Never have I ever!!! Sir, how dare you. Why did you choose a career in hospitality if you are clearly inhospitable? It's close to 11pm. Somehow, everything is progressing now. People are sporadically getting plates. We are all scarfing down food and ask for the check. And we're not scarfing down the food because it's so delicious. In fact, 95% of the dishes were overpriced, under seasoned, and completely unspectacular. The check comes (with mistakes) and the waitress has the gall to say, "Here's the check before you walk out." Excuse me? Where have you been all night and are you implying that we would leave without paying? We honestly should have after how we were treated. The most flabbergasting piece: they had added 20% gratuity to the bill (not printed anywhere that that would be the case), which we of course pushed back on to no avail. They didn't comp us anything or ever apologize. Honestly, don't waste your time or money on Easterly. 100% not worth it. Maybe their staff could go get trained by Chick Fil-A so they could learn about service standards and hospitality. read more

By far my favorite meal I had on my week long visit to the island. The food was all fresh, light and almost refreshing after a day on the beach in the sun. The menu offers both small plates (who doesn't love to order a ton of different things and share and nibble???) along with a few entrees. We had a little of both: - spreads: phenomenal simple appetizer served w flatbread for dipping. - citrus salad - perfect balance of greens, nuts and fruits and not overly dressed - cerviche catch of the day - prob one of the best things that hit our table; amazing! - catch of the day - tasted actually fresh unlike others who claim same, presentation was almost as awesome as the taste of the dish itself - baby carrots side dish: super tasty but overpriced at $12 Other tips: save room for dessert! Cocktails are unique and tasty but not overly boozy. Service: awesome, helpful and super attentive without being annoying. read more

Tucked in the heart of "downtown" Red Hook is this casually elegant open air restaurant. From the street it looks like a normal building with walls. Upon entry it becomes evident that the outside walls are plants. The interior walls are clad in oyster shells. It is a striking space with beautiful tiled floors and a cool vibe. Service was smooth and friendly. The food was all artistically prepared and beautifully plated . The drink menu was so full of interesting sounding cocktails. I started with the Fire Killer which sounded refreshing with rum, orange, fire roasted pineapple, coconut, nutmeg. I found it quite strong and this not as light and refreshing as it sounded but it was called "Fire Killer" so I was forewarned. We moved on to the Tiradito, an amazing ceviche appetizer with tender, melt-in-your-mouth fish, passion fruit, and blood orange leche de tigre. Our entrees were all as beautiful as they were delicious: Yellowfin Tuna, Hanger Steak and Farro Risotto. We finished it all it all off with a Chocolate Lilikoi an delicious blend of chocolate and passion fruit. Overall it was a lovely restaurant with amazing food and terrific service. I loved the casual yet very refined atmosphere. I'd say this is Island fine dining at its best. read more

Service is terrible. The food came out undercooked and we wanted to have them cook it more but it took 15-20 min just to flag down anyone to have them do it. On top of that we had to ask for water 3 times to 3 different people before we finally got it. ON TOP OF THAT they add an automatic 20% gratuity and a 4% service charge. I see why they add that already because they must not have been getting any tips from the terrible service. Redhook area has many great restaurants, this is not one. Moral of the story ... bad service, undercooked food, overpriced. I suggest somewhere else read more

Ashlee was amazing!!! She took time to not acknowledge we had a 6 month baby with us but my wife's birthday. She made the dinner that much more perfect. We had a small issue with our potato dauphinoise being over cooked but Ashlee quickly took care of us and replaced it. We did not get a chance to eat oysters this time but I will say they are amazing. We visit The Easterly every trip to Saint Thomas. Our favorite seat is at the bar or near the back where you can hear the water and look out to the Yachts docked near the beach. It's a guy bartender here that is amazing I wish I remembered his name. read more

we had such a good time with ajani he was so kind and helpful I would be at this bar every night if i knew he'd be there with his smile

Food and drinks were OK - I would probably give this place a 3 BUT we were visited by 3 cockroaches just during a 1 hour time span. I understand that this restaurant is outside but how are you supposed to have an elevated and relaxing dining experience when there are cockroaches literally crawling right underneath you, up the walls, oh and even ON THE TABLE. The waiters were very accommodating and did their best to kill any insects they saw, but my entire appetite was ruined as well as my experience here. read more

Nice Vibe in Red Hook. Good for an intimate note or a group with family. I was cheap and didn't pay for a reservation thinking it would be easy on a Friday. They didn't have any openings (doubtful) but the hostess invited us to the bar. The food was a top shelf experience for Red Hook. 5 minutes from Sapphire Resort. Our bartender was knowledgeable of the menu and walked us through the menu. Oysters were fresh. The whole fried fish was seasoned well and cooked to a flaky perfection. Be careful with dining at the bar, 3 rounds of cocktails will hit your pockets fast! read more
