We celebrated our anniversary here along with another family member. The service and atmosphere would be tough to beat. The chef did a great job using fresh ingredients and an artistic touch. I rated the price 4 out of 5 but if based on an even comparison with St Thomas venues it would be a 5. The amuse was a... More

Absolute first class operation. Fantastic high end cuisine with a view to die for. With appetizers, bottled water, 2 dinners, dessert, and 2 drinks each bill came to $165 just to give you an idea. I am very picky when it comes to seafood as I am an avid sport fisherman and it was just amazing! Very cool history from... More

Excellent restaurant with well trained staff. Nothing inexpensive, this is a 'treat" restaurant. Everything wa well prepared with nice presentation. Absolutely get the Caribbean lobster- nothing better if you are a lobster fan. The restaurant building has been around for centuries, so has some interesting archtiectural details, and sits oceanside for spectacular sunsets. It is NOT easy to find- go... More

I found this restaurant from the trip advisor website. I have to say this has been the biggest disappointment of my vacation. Oceana sounded like a hole in one. However, i was terribly disappointed. When we arrived there was no host at the host stand. we had to ask the bartender to seat us. She informed us that the maitre... More

We went here last week for our anniversary. My husband and I both agree that this was one of the best meals we have ever had. The beet starter is amazing, we got it to share then wished we had ordered two. My husband had the best scallops he has ever had in any restaurant. Steve was our waiter and... More

Friends recommended this restaurant and we made reservation for our last night on the islands before flying home the next morning. The most difficult part was to find the place because no signs were seen and you had to cross very local neighborhoods. The location is outstanding. The view over the bay truly breathtaking The reception and the waiters were... More

The food was wonderful as was the view. A nice wine list and attentive service. We sat overlooking the water on the night of a very bright full moon. I would suggest reservations because they were busy.

My first foray into fine dining in the Virgin Islands was at Oceana in St. Thomas, which came heavily recommended from the St. Thomas locals. The Caribbean restaurant is an a villa that dates back to the 1850s, previously used as the Russian Embassy and open as Oceana Restaurant and Wine Bar in 2002. The Villa’s main dining room is...

We always enjoy our visits to Oceana. Housed in the former Russian Embassy in Frenchtown (make a left at Craig and Sally's, and drive until the road ends), it has a true tropical island feel. Perched on the oceanfront, facing the Creque Railway on Hassel Island, the setting is gorgeous. The food is excellent, the wine list is good, and... More

We chose Oceana for our last night's "Hoorah!" as a family on vacation. From the second we got out of the taxi our experience was beyond exceptional. The ambiance and view was second to none, the service was amazing and the food was to die for! We definitely plan to return!
