“Splendid waterfront view and excellent food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012 via mobile

We enjoyed eating at the high top table in the bar area about 20 feet from the beautiful water. The bar service was efficient and friendly. The fillet of beef excellent and the scallops very good. Pricey with a limited menu but great experience when in St. John.

“Very good food with a great view of Cruz Bay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

We decided to eat here the last night of our week long stay on St John. After a week of enjoying the many casual dining options on the island, we made the right choice here for a night of fine dining. Yes, the menu is bit on the pricy side, but you wont be dissapointed. The french parodox appetizer included a fresh pate with a sampling of brie and goat cheese that paired nicely with the Malbec. The arugula roasted beet salad with crumbled blue cheeses was my favorite. My husband ordered the tuna yellowfin tuna nicoise, an awesome choice.

“Great food, even better view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

My husband and I were staying on St. Thomas and took a boat over for dinner at Waterfront Bistro. We originally had reservations elsewhere, but switched on a recommendation from our boat captain. It was the right move. Excellent food and the view of the bay is the best we had while in the islands. We couldn't have asked for a better way to spend our last evening in USVI.

“Nice waterfront dining in St. John”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012 via mobile

Good setting with great views of St. Thomas. Food was good but prices were a bit steep. The homemade caramel almond ice cream was a delicious end to the meal.
