Lively and upscale vibe.

Feb 2020 • couples

My husband and I enjoyed lunch here for one of their Rosé Fridays. The view of a lovely Saint Jean beach is beautiful. My husband ordered half of a roasted chicken with vegetables and bread which was delicious. The spices were lovely. It was so filling that we could only do leftover pizza for dinner back at our villa that evening! I had the Ibiza rolls and the sushi tasted so fresh that I don’t know how I will be able to eat sushi now that I am back in my hometown of Central Virginia – there is no way it can be as soft and fresh- no way sushi here in the landlocked Shenandoah region can compare😂 The DJ was lively and we enjoyed a short fashion show during lunch with a saxophone player accompanying the music from the DJ. There is a small shop near the restrooms with cute women’s clothing and pretty jewelry. There is a very fun atmosphere here; everyone appears happy and to be enjoying themselves immensely. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there :-) Three glasses of wine, sushi, chicken and vegetables, rolls and water cost around €120 here. Much more expensive than the restaurants in our hometown but then, the atmosphere and the view, not to mention the freshness of the food made it worth it : )

Sushi, Cosmos, Wine, and a Beach View

Feb 2020 • none

Our countryman was all packed with beach chairs, umbrellas, towels and snacks. We drove by Nikki Beach and low and behold we were lucky to find parking on the street. Very Very rare!!! Although Nikki does offer valet parking. 20 Euro I believe. My daughter and I set up our spot right beside the restaurant. We lucked out on the weather also. No rain so far so we worked on our tans and swam in the calm warm water. We decided to have lunch so we made a reservation for 3 pm. This was mid week. At 3 pm we walked up to the resto and were given a table for 2 right on the edge of the covered deck. We had full view of the beach and the beds on the beach. There are a few tables for large groups and smaller tables scattered about. The DJ was playing nice background music not loud and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. Atmosphere is elegant but casual chic. The inside is decorated in a beachy style.Table setting was high quality, Service was excellent, quick and friendly. We had an assortment of sushi and sashimi which exceeded my expectations. I thought it would be a rip off but I was wrong. The food and drink were excellent. I think I had a creambruille here and it was classic with the hard crisp top that you crack with your spoon while you pull out the creamy vanilla custard layer. All in all the food was excellent the staff were beautiful and did the job well. The cost was what I expected, somewhat expensive. Will have to bring hubby here. We will be back.

Exceptional experience at Nikki stbarts

Aug 2021 • family

Nikki beach could be considered a trendy restaurant with all the cons attached to it. Clearly it’s a very different ballgame here at Nikki stbarts where excellence and professionalism are at the forefront Food is fresh, delicious and served in nice portions at a reasonable price given the location .. More important the team is amazing. It’s a great bunch welcoming their customers in a friendly and personal manner always knowledgeable and professional. Clearly lunch at Nikki is a great experience and if you like wine the sommelier Billy is your guy! Cheers

Beautiful spot - food needs a little work

Jul 2021 • none

Like so many places in SB, you find yourself sitting in a beautiful location, surrounded by happy trendy people. A few issues with the food - first off, they put sesame seeds on everything. From the slider buns to just about all of the sushi to the shrimp gyoza. If you don't like sesame seeds (like me), ordering is difficult at best. I also wish the kitchen was more accommodating with requests. That said, if you're in SB for a week, and don't come to Nikki Beach, you really are missing out...

Disappointing Lunch

Nov 2020 • none

Our visit to Nikki Beach was perhaps the most disappointing meal during our most recent visit to St Barth especially as the food had been good when we last ate there. A lovely relaxing location ( we had a table by the edge of the beach ), good service, but pretty ordinary food for the price. My Ribeye steak wasn’t the best quality for 47 EUR whilst Mrs FB2000’s Chicken Satay ( 31 EUR ) was served in a basket rather than on a skewer, which was unexpected. She liked the vegetables and the sauce they were cooked in but didn’t particularly like the chicken. However, she was happier after her Caipirinha’s ( 15 EUR ) whilst my Heinekens were 7 EUR. We probably won’t be back in a hurry.

A great experience, as always

Apr 2021 • couples

We make it a priority to head to Nikki Beach when we’re in St Barth. It always delights! We spent a fun afternoon, starting with cocktails and a delicious lunch of a fresh tuna/avacado/cream cheese roll, Babette Black Angus with Chimichurri and roasted baby potatoes. Followed by dessert of pineapple pana cotta. As always there is a laid back vibe with great music, superb service, all fronting on the blond sand beach of St Jean. After lunch we took advantage of a great sale in the shop. Then our beach bed was ready and we spent the rest of the day swimming and sunning as we watched planes making their amazing landings across the water at the airstrip.

Always a Great Place

Dec 2020 • family

We love Nikki Beach and the one in St Tropez too. It’s a pricey spot for sure €100 per sun bed but they know about service and they have such a great selection of food. We had huge sushi platter. Steaks. Wood fired pizza. Beautiful salads. Breads. This was one of the places that everyone in the family (we were there with kids) had items they really loved. Valet parking was great as there isn’t any parking nearby. The people watching is great too.

Checked that box and it was fabulous!

Feb 2020 • family

We are on island for 10 nights and although it’s not our first time here, it was our first time at Nikki for lunch. We typically try to make a plan for the day but have learned to go with the flow. We lucked out with great roadside parking and planted ourselves on the beach beside Nikki. Having packed some snacks we weren’t planning on lunch... but that quickly changed. The pretty hostess with the dark hair and white smile promptly agreed to a set reservation time for later that day. We arrived to a primo table and knew the wheels were in motion for a great, impromptu sushi lunch. A few delicious Cosmopolitans and SBs certainly lightened the spirits and then came the sushi and sashimi! All I can say is run don’t walk! It was truly excellent and Soso was on point with her service. For years I dismissed the hype and figured Nikki to be all talk no substance. I was wrong. The music suits the Euro vibe and yes the staff are beautiful and lithe. Most important however is that the food and service are top notch. Will return again this trip.

Go for the ambiance, be delighted by the cuisine!

Nov 2021 • family

Everybody goes to Nikki beach for the ambience, but the food is actually exceptionally good! We are a family of six and ordered a multitude of options and everybody was happy with every dish. The food was delicious, with beautiful presentations, generous portion sizes, and excellent service to boot! The green shrimp bowl and vegetarian sushi were my choices and I delighted in every bite. My daughters octopus salad was the best she’s ever had. The setting of Nikki beach in Saint Barts is perfect… stylish and cool. Of course the deep house beats by the DJ, and the eye-candy all around, help create a memorable experience and one that we will want to repeat on every trip to St. Barths!

Great vibe, good food service was okay

Jun 2022 • none

We went on a Friday at 3pm, everyone told us that Sunday was the day to go for the true Nikki Beach vibe but we were leaving before then and wanted to make sure we could visit. Beautiful spot, we only did lunch and the restaurant was pretty empty with maybe only 15% full. Our server didnt seem to have many tables but she was very absent. I didnt see her at other tables so not sure where she was. She would ask us for if we wanted an item and we would say yes and she would never come back and bring it. We ordered a bottle of rose Starter: Rainbow Roll Mains: Truffle Pizza (amazing), and scallops and risotto (okay, not worth the price) DJ was playing but it was pretty empty so seemed a little awkward. Wish we had a better server but overall good and we would go back.

Rude, disrespectful and highly unwelcoming hostess with terrible attitude

Feb 2022 • friends

Unlike never failing to be disappointed about the food at other Nikki Beach I’ve been around the world, the food here was actually pretty good. The 1* rating here comes because of hostess Linda, who was extremely rude, snappy, unwelcoming and with telling me “f*ckn - city where I’m from - people” trying to get at me because of where I come from? For real? Drinking on the job with her waitress co-worker who was at the same poor attitude level as Linda. Inattentive, bringing the wrong drinks from what I’ve ordered didn’t help her presence either. I was a paying customer and I should never feel this level of unwelcome at a restaurant ever. No one should experience an attitude like hers from a hospitality worker. Her job is to make sure people feel welcome but failed at that like I’ve never seen before with an attitude that’s completely unacceptable. Seeing more reviews like this about Linda here the management should consider getting her fired. She’s bad for business. I will never come back.

Lovely setting right on St. Jean Beach

Jan 2020 • none

We just had the pizza for lunch but it was great. (And I'm no fan of pizza.} Thin crust with cheese, mushrooms, ham and tomato sauce, Very light and crispy. And a salad of course. This is a great place for people watching and quite elegant in a very casual way. They specialize in sushi and sashimi, which we can't rate but I would give it a try. The place is well run and well staffed and the service was excellent.

Beautiful beach day

Jul 2023 • couples

Beautiful beach with relaxed, elegant dining. I would recommend calling ahead if you are day tripping from St. Maarten to reserve a beach cabana. (bed, couch, umbrella and table - on the beach - towels and pillows included) Reservations can only be made via phone the morning of arrival. It's well worth the price . The beach is calm with soft white sand. An option is food service to the beach or dine in the open air restaurant. Somewhat pricey, but to be expected on St. Barts.

Why not?

Dec 2022 • none

Of course - when my kids wanted to go to Nikki Beach, you know they are doing something right. Yes the music and the drunk (or wannabe drunk) people dancing to the music but isn't it what fun is about? We would go there whenever we don't need to make a reservation and just go. They fired the storekeeper a few months ago and now we are checking out the store again also. We go to Nikki Beach from time to time and the servers are friendly and just chill, honestly food isn't bad - we like it.

Fantastic day on the beach

Jul 2022 • couples

We had a wonderful Monday at Nikki beach. We called a head to make a reservation and they had a daybed available for my wife and I. The service on the beach was excellent. We also had lunch in the restaurant. Our lunch was also excellent with very good service. Saint Jean Beach is by far the nicest beach in Saint Barts, especially in front of Nikki beach. The daybed was $100. The cost of the drinks was reasonable considering you are in Saint Barts. Saturdays and Sundays the daybed can cost €1000. They have valet parking for 20 euro , but there is some street parking available. The beach has a great view of the Eden Rock hotel complex. Be aware there is some topless sunbathbathing throughout this section of Saint Jean beach. Most of Saint Barts has this wonderful French and European cultural influence. In general the staff at Nicki Beach is very helpful and friendly. I hope you enjoy your time at Nikki beach as much as my wife and I did today. Enjoy!!!
