My husband and I dined at Havana Blue twice over the last week while we were in St. Thomas celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary. During our first visit, Christine was our server. We loved that dinner so much that we specifically requested she be our server for our second visit. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and exuded truly genuine hospitality....

Great spot for lunch at the beach. A great, funky little tapas bar with grest concoctions friendly service, and an awesome beach front location. If you come, do not skip the Havana Banana dessert.

We chose Havana Blue to celebrate our engagement. The venue is modern and has a great view. Service is snooty which i'm conditioned to expect from "fine dining" establishments, but the manager at this location took it to another level.
We were 2 couples; After a round of apps I ordered the red snapper stuffed with shrimp and chorizo, my...

Great location but that is all that can be said about this place! Mediocre food at best, limited menu, small portions and big prices. Less than professional staff. We had to wait on everything ordered. No teamwork or multiple servers like you expect in high end restaurants so you always had to "track down" your server. Take a cab and...

We're really surprised to hear that you had such an unenjoyable experience with us, Jack. It's very rare to hear that our food is mediocre, and many people leave completely satisfied with the portions. There is no excuse for poor service, however. We pride ourselves on providing an exceptional experience, which starts and ends with our staff. Please accept our...

Located on the beach this beautiful restaurant with wonderful views was supposed to be one of the highlights of this vacation. Unfortunately, our main course did not arrive at our table for two hours. Most of the wait was spent in pleasant conversation drinking wine and eating tasty appetizers however as time continued to pass I requested our waitress to...

We'd like to send another apology for the frustration you dealt with while waiting for your entrees. We'll certainly speak with our servers about how to properly communicate this kind of situation to our guests, so that you know what's going on and don't feel brushed off. We truly do hope you make a return visit so we can provide...

OUTSTANDING food and service!! I would HIGHLY recommend eating here one night during your stay. It's pricey, but well worth every penny.

I thought the food was great, very tasty!. My husband got the surf and turf special which he raved about (even though the turf was tiny.) It was VERY expensive. I got the Mahi Mahi which was excellent and was laid on a bed of rice that was very spicy in a good way. Our appetizer was great too. The...

Ambiance is one of the things we're famous for, and it's great to hear that you fully enjoyed the unique HAVANA BLUE atmosphere. Excellent choices all around, though we do apologize if part of your husband's meal seemed too small. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in St. Thomas, and would love to see you again some...

Havana Blue is one of several restaurants on the Marriott properties where we stayed in St. Thomas. Our dining experience turned out to be the best we had on the island. The restaurant sits right on the water with an outstanding view of the Caribbean. We enjoyed a beautiful evening and some excellent cuisine. I started with the chef’s seafood...

Wonderful evening with great meal, service, and ambiance! We were staying at the Marriott, Frenchman's Cove and based on the Trip Advisor reviews, we tried this. I would say it is a must try when in St. Thomas.

So disappointed. I was excited to eat here, the menu looked fantastic and I heard rave reviews. We knew walking in later on a Friday night would be an issue, but we enjoyed waiting at the bar until we could be seated. First issue...there were tables open while we were waiting. I figured they weren't seating those tables...until after our...

We're really disappointed that you didn't give us the chance to serve you, Leah. As you stated, you came by on a Friday night without a reservation, and we were booked completely, which is typical on Fridays and Saturdays. We have to hold tables for reservations we expect to show up, but once those aren't filled, we open them up...
