Overlooking the aqua colors of the Caribbean Sea, our restaurant is regarded as the island’s most iconic location for dining. We feature a fully open-air dining room. Most tables offer unobstructed views of the Baye de GriGri, spectacular breathtaking sunsets, dramatic full moons rising, passing sailboats and landing seaplanes.

Unsurprisingly, seafood dominates our menu. Whenever possible we source fresh, local seafood caught off the shores of the Virgin Islands.

We hope our passion for sustainability is evident in the highest quality and freshest ingredients we use, including seasonal produce from local farmers.

Our extensive wine list was chosen to balance refinement with versatility and intended to pair well with every item on our menu.

Our Bistro offers a fun, lively atmosphere designed with a come-as-you-are feeling.

We combine culinary excellence with superb service and an exquisite setting, creating experiences and

    What a fabulous find. Dinner, wait staff, ambiance - everything was superb. Highly recommend starting with the Red & Golden Beet Escabeche. It was divine.

    I brought my girlfriend here for our last night on the island. Our experience started with a reservation and we arrived early. We were invited to enjoy cocktails at the bar, excellently tended by Mitch. The “O” and Expresso martini were some of the best drinks we had during our stay. The bar was inviting and had wonderful ambience. We were seated early in a lovely spot overlooking the water but also near the kitchen. The food was delicious and came very quickly. You could tell that the ingredients were of the highest and freshest quality. We had appetizers, entrees, and an utterly amazing lemon cheesecake dessert. We were waited on by Lainey, and her service was beyond great. She checked up on us regularly and made sure all of our needs were met before we even asked. She was quick, efficient, and sociable. She spoke to us as people, not just guests or one time customers, talking about her time on the Island and offering insightful suggestions for places to visit and what to expect. I would highly recommend Oceana to others and will be visiting again the next time I am on St. Thomas.

    Superb!! The whole experience was wonderful! We were at Oceana on our honeymoon 15 years ago and was excited to return. So happy to see that it was even better than we remembered. The hospitality was very inviting. They sat us at a wonderful table and gave us an Anniversary card! The waiter was a true gentleman.. He was meticulous with the table and was a pleasure!! The food was outstanding!! Scallops the way they should be seared and served! OMG!! Delicious beyond words!! Out of all of the fine dining we went to on the island for the week, Oceana was by far THE BEST!! Oceana, the others cannot compare! Thank you!!
