USVI-On-Line

We will be spending our last night in stt before we leave to go home I hope to find some place nice for dinner (it will be mother's day so I'm sure that is a busy day for dining) any suggestions

Depends on what you are looking for? Casual? Upscale? Cheaper? A place good for the kids? No kids? Etc.

If you want a very nice dinner out go to Old Stone Farmhouse. Very expensive but extremely good. It's over by Magen's Bay.

Let me know I could give you some more suggestions!

My fav restaurant is the Banana Tree Grill in Bluebeard's Castle. You will need reservations for Mother's Day I am sure! In my opinion the Old Stone has finally succumbed to way overpricing, way under feeding and the menu pretty much is too eclectic for a normal palate. All those "tasting" and wine pairings...I do like unusual combinations and trendy foods, but whoa....I live in NYC and even there it is not as expensive as this restaurant.

I second Old Stone Farmhouse. Also good is Room With a View at Blue Beard's Castle. Or Mafolie.

We loved Mafolie. Breathtaking views and fabulous food, reasonably priced as well. I could sit at their bar all night long!

Another vote for the Mafolie as well. If you are staying downtown or at the Airport there are also allot of choices in Frenchtown. Hook Line, Bella Blu, Betsy's Bar, Epirnay, Craig & Sally's, Oceania. Let us know were you are staying and how nice or casual you want and it can be narrowed down.

Sorry to hijack a bit, but rather than start a new thread I thought I would ask my STT dinner questions here.

1. What is the name of the restaurant in Yacht Haven Grande that is wine-focused? Not Wikked...the other one. And, most importantly, is it any good?

2. Has anyone eaten at Off the Hook recently? I have not been for at least three years.

3. Indigo...that's over by Secret Harbour, right? I think they got a new chef. Is it still tasty?

Thank you!

Oceania, Craig & Sally's and Havana Blue......all 3 excellent choices!

Is it Grande Cru? I believe it has a martini bar and I think I read something about it being a wine bistro and it also had a few good reviews....as usual, I can't remember where I read it

Thanks mia, that's it. I was able to find their menu online. I don't know...maybe I am just grumpy today. Their food might be something I'd probably want to eat at home, but it sounds too rich and heavy for the island. John wants to go over to STT for a meal, so I'll keep looking for someplace I think we'll both like.

Hi,

I know that Indigo is at the Magens Point Resort and was REAL good when I went last Summer. They've been take over by the folks from the Old Stone Farmhouse, so the menu/style has changed I believe.
Hopefully Poohwear will see this and comment on the change.

Blue Moon Cafe is at Secret Harbour and is a nice place for dinner as well.

Not sure if you like Asian; but I have heard good reviews about Lotus at American Yacht Harbor in Red Hook. I want to try there myself in June.

Don't know much about the CA places as I usually hang around the East end. Have the Banana Tree on my list to try though.

Enjoy and Happy Friday!!

Yeah...I should have said that we are staying near the airport, can't remember the name of the place, my friends that we are traveling with booked it! anyways...as for the restaurant nice and we aren't traveling with kids..just 2 couples...thanks for all the suggestions!
Happy Friday!

I just went to the website-it looks like the winner! great menu...great view...great prices...Thanks!

Another vote for Mafolie. Awesome food service and views ( overlooking CA and Harbor). Second choice is Blue Moon right on the beach at Secret Harbor. Same comments as for Mafiole and a great sunset spot. If your not very concerned with the view for this dinner then there are many others several of which have been mentioned.
