Having stayed at their sister property in Martha's Vineyard a few months earlier we had to come over for a meal while celebrating a return anniversary in St. Thomas. Everyone, from the ferry crew to the resort staff could not have been friendly and, more so, fully efficient and competent. Saturday nights the resort's upscale restaurant is closed and instead there is a much more casual offering. It is, however, no less terrific I'm certain and for our evening, just perfect. The evening was a very special one thanks to the associates and team members, chef especially.

We sat outside overlooking the water. Our waitress, Charlotte, was excellent and very familiar with the menu offering suggestion of her favorites and most ordered. I had the Caribbean lobster which was excellent. My husband had the sea bass. Bread service was not included but homemade and very good.
