This restaurant has great food, wonderfu ambiance with a pretty view, the service is attentive and the food is excellent. We tried the "tiraditos" which anyone who likes sashimi will probably enjoy, the sea bass that was crunchy and moist, and my husband ordered the cuchon de lait which was very, very tasty. We had our last meal here before... More

We were excited to try Bonito based on all the reviews we had read. The setting is lovely and the service was very attentive. The food is good and the desserts are memorable; however, it came with a $350 price tag for three people (two drinks, two appetizers, three entres, two glasses of wine and two desserts). I am not...

The ceviche was very, very good, but it ought to be for a 30 dollar appetizer portion. I had one of their fancy cocktails for 20 USD, and it was good as well. They didn't have much wine selection for under a hundred bucks. I guess the view would be nice if it weren't dark out! Also, it is hard... More

Like many places in St Barths, Bonito is unassuming from the outside. But after stepping off the small street into the entry, you're transported .... A large space that still feels intimate even with the DJ. While pricey even for St Barths, the food was spectacular - hamachi sashimi, lobster and asparagus risotto; everyone at the table had something different... More

Loved this place. Great Ambiance and wonderful music. I loved the food. There's also a killer boutique that opens past 7:30pm right next door. My girlfriends and I would have never found that place if we had not got to eat at Bonito. We loved her store. We shopped til we dropped and she was nice enough to reserve a... More

We were told to go here by our villa manager. There was a lot of hype around this restaurant - mainly because of the view overlooking Gustavia. The view was nice, but the food was a little disappointing. One could say it was nothing special. I found that for the price - even for St. Bart's it was expensive -... More
