As far as restaurants on St. Thomas go, you have a great variety to choose
from….from fast food places like in the states to pizza places to the
Caribbean's version of Fridays - The Greenhouse - to the Hard Rock Café - same
menu you will find in the states - to the very, very expensive. Which ones you
would like are up to what your preferences are.
For an inexpensive meal and a talk with "mom" try Dottie's at Compass Point.
Some other repeat, good choices are….Caribbean Steak House and Saloon in Red
Hook, Mims at the Watergate, & Blue Moon Café at Secret Harbour. Try Old
Stone Farmhouse on the north side near Mahogany Run for a really incredible
dinner in a wonderful, scenic location. The Banana Tree Grill at Bluebeards
Castle was very nice. Also thought that Herve's downtown was very nice for
lunch….although we would have preferred that he open the glass doors instead
of using the A/C….but the view again was excellent….he is in the same
location where Fiddle Leaf was located.
Try Romano's in Smith Bay for really good Italian food..every bit as good as
Virgilio's without quite the atmosphere, On one of our visits, our waitress
was a very nice young lady who turned out to be the daughter of Tony, the
owner…on vacation from college and looking forward to going back to the
states. Virgilio's in downtown CA is always good and a great visual experience
even if it is all enclosed. Gladys' Café or Cuzzins downtown also has great
lunches…..west indian food and cold beer….a great way to take a break from
the heat when you are shopping.
In Frenchtown you have Alexanders or Craig & Sally's. Both are indoor
restaurants and have good food, although IMHO C&S's is not as good as many of
the reviews it gets.
Unfortunately another of my favorite's Zorba's is no longer open…but has been
replaced with Marisol which is completely redecorated and with a different
menu, but also with great hosts (NOTE: Marisol has now closed also). Another
of my regular spots, Eunice's, is now Glenda's Caribbean spot and is as good as
Eunice's was in its best days.
As you can see, St. Thomas offers lots of great choices…….I've only named a
representative sample of what you can find on the island. Take your pick and
enjoy your meal.
