Crab cake

I was excited to try this restaurant based on previous Yelp reviews and posted menus. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The wine menu was good and had several great choices. Our server was great. Where the restaurant fell off was the food and ambiance. I will start with the ambiance which was the biggest negative for me. I was expecting an upscale, somewhat intimate dining experience. Instead, the whole restaurant was overwhelmed by a sauced collection of frat-bros competing for the title of loudest of the loud. The food was OK. I ordered the lamb shank pot pie. I guess you can say it was deconstructed (?) because it was more of a soup with a potato filled pastry on top. The lamb, veggies and broth didn't really have a lot of flavor. The lamb contained a lot of sinew and fat which wasn't rendered from a hearty braise.

We started with cocktails, a beautifully balanced Bees Knees, a bold Old Fashioned, and a smooth Manhattan. All crafted perfectly and served in elegant glassware. For appetizers, we shared the ceviche and bruschetta, both plated beautifully and packed with fresh, vibrant flavors. The ceviche had just the right citrus tang, and the bruschetta was layered with juicy tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and a drizzle of balsamic that tied it all together. For mains, we went all out -- stuffed chicken over rice with a side of vegetables, lamb chops with garlic mashed potatoes, and a surf & turf plate with steak, shrimp, and more of those buttery mashed potatoes. Every dish was flavorful, cooked perfectly, and portioned generously. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate. It's a bit on the smaller side inside, but that just adds to the charm. Service was excellent: attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Prices are on the higher side, but absolutely worth it for the quality of food and overall experience. Highly recommend for a date night or special dinner while in St. Thomas!

Stayed in Sapphire Beach for about a week and actually had dinner here twice. The first time was via reservation and second was with some luck that bar space opened when we walked in. Lots of locals and visitors to chat with but it was the bar staff that made this place to us outstanding. They were so attentive that at times it felt like private dining. We had shrimp, caprese salad and split a ribeye one night and a filet mignon the other. Each meal was cooked perfectly and plentiful (took some home). We highly recommend it. Enjoy!

I was excited about going to XO. I am disappointed to say that it did not live to my expectations. I am giving it 3 stars because the service was outstanding and the drinks the bartender made were well crafted. Upon seating we ordered the brie as an appetizer and jt was actually delicious but our main course were both a serious disappointment. My husbands duck was tough, the sauce was overpowering and it felt like they were trying to mask the flavor with the sauce and my pasta was very citrusy, I could barely eat it. We then ordered dessert and the bread pudding was so dry and flavorless it did not make things better. Maybe we went on a night the chef was having a bad day. I would be willing to give this place another try because the service was too good to not go back.

A very enjoyable meal. We had been in for lunch a few days before so we had to try dinner. Great service with a smile.. Food was perfect and timely.

This is the fat and grisele.  It was about half the steak  i was very disappointed in this meal.

I ended up showing up early so I was only able to see and try the breakfast menu and drinks, so those are the only items I can rate Ambiance: 5 stars. It's an open floor plan right on the dock. We were able to sit right next to the water and get some fresh air. The place isn't too loud, but very inviting. They have a bottomless mimosa option and this place feels like it would be a great brunch vibe Service: 4 stars. Staff was super nice and waitress was helpful in regards of what to order. There was an issue with steak being overcooked and they were able to replace it, but it did take taking to 3 different people, which I thought was weird Drinks: 3.5 stars. The Rum away with me was absolutely wonderful, but the White Russian was not good at all Food : 4.5 stars Steak and eggs was fantastic. We had to get the steak recooked, but when it was made well, it was a top shelf steak. Crab cakes: also would recommend! No notes here Breakfast burger:,really loved the fact that the patty was smashed. I was worried that there was too much going on but everything combined quite nicely. I got the breakfast potatoes and they weren't really anything special. Overall this place was a 4.5 stars, but I'm rounding up to 5 because the vibe and views were immaculate

We sat outside-unfortunately it was raining but I can see why people would come here on sunny days! Our dinner was good-I had fish tacos which were delicious and the fish pieces were very large. I subbed out fries for a salad-which was the largest side salad I have ever gotten in any restaurant! The highlight of the night was the Sangria-wow was that delicious! Our server was very friendly. One negative, our receipt had already included gratuity and when they handed me receipt, there was another blank line asking for gratuity (again!) and showing % options. This is very deceiving. Read carefully so you don't accidentally double tip! Oh, and there is an additional 3.5% non cash convenience fee. Thank you!

We came in with a big group of 8 about an hour before closing and she handled everything with no complaints and great energy. I ordered the nightly special and it was way more food than I expected a stuffed 1 lb lobster topped with mac & cheese and asparagus. Everything was so good! The beachfront views and sound of the waves made the whole experience super relaxing and beautiful. It is a little pricey, but that's expected for the location and quality of food. Totally worth it for a nice night out.

For lunch we tried several different sliders: conches, beer battered fish, ahi tuna, and jerk chicken. The conch and fish were to die for. If we only went here for lunch, I would have given them 5 stars. It was literally the best fish-n-chip I'd ever had (slider form). For us celiac patients, he offers them in bowls. It was awesome. We liked is so much we decided to go back one nigh for dinner. We were so excited. We were so tired. We swam all day. We both ordered the fish-n-chips. It was awful. Asked on this experience I would have given them a 2. The fish wasn't fully cooked so the outside of the batter was crispy but the batter wasn't fully cooked so the batter closest to the fish was still raw. The inside of the fish wasn't fully cooked either. They rushed it. We weren't in a hurry. We were just enjoying the evening. I would still go back. I'm sure this was a one mistake. These fish and chips were out of this world good. The service was excellent. The people were very friendly, polite, and fun. We had a good time.

Instead, I ordered from 1 of the beach waitresses on the beach which sounds fancy & convenient until you learn there is an automatic 18% service charge. Beware! I mean I usually tip that & more but only when the service is actually you know service.The waitress only drops off your food to you & vanishes like a beach ninja.No clean up or check in on you. Just here you go & poof they're gone. To make matters worse there was a trash can on the beach but it was overloaded & garbage was falling out of it everywhere unfortunately. Anyhoot, I ordered the jerk chicken meal which came w/ rice & peas,sweet plantain,& what was Mac & cheese I was told by the waitress. It wasn't Mac & cheese but some sort of tuna cheese salad. It was kind of weird but not bad. I was hoping for the Mac & cheese though. The jerk sauce was ultra spicy which I loved! The chicken was pretty good everything else was mediocre. Rice was kind of soggy. I can't stand soggy rice. I tried the conch in sauce which was delish! Overall,not awful not amazing but the jerk chicken saved the day!
