    One of the best meals I've ever had. Perfect ambiance, perfect service, and the most excellent lobster, seabass and scallops that we've ever eaten. Just a perfect evening for our honeymoon dinner. Thank you to the staff and management for a delightful evening. Was it cheap? No. But it was so very worth it.

    Enjoyed the meal, great location and hence nice ambience. It was our first time back after 2016 and it did not disappoint. They also have a nice section above the bar with lots of art on the walls. Keep in mind that they do not have a kids menu (if you plan to eat there with kids).

    During the Christmas holiday season in 2023, we went to this famous restaurant with friends. After navigating through the narrow winding roads full of speed bumps in the Frenchtown, we find the restaurant premises to be much nicer and organized. It’s history dates back to 18th century. There is no shortage of oceanfront restaurants on the island, but this one is probably the nicest. The service is superior, reminding me of the top tier restaurants in the big cities. Food is mainstream American, on par with the vibe. It doesn’t come in cheap. Prepare $100 per person for a full-course dinner.

    Oceana Restaurant in St. Thomas left an indelible impression with its breathtaking view of the azure waters and coastline, creating a serene and picturesque dining atmosphere. The panoramic vistas from the restaurant elevated the overall dining experience, offering a captivating backdrop to our meal. The menu featured a delightful array of fresh seafood and delectable dishes that showcased the culinary prowess of the chefs. Each dish was a symphony of flavors, highlighting the use of high-quality ingredients and culinary expertise. Pamela, our server, played a pivotal role in making our evening memorable. Her attentiveness, knowledge of the menu, and friendly demeanor added a personal touch to the dining experience. Pamela's exceptional service further enhanced our enjoyment of the evening, as she skillfully guided us through the menu, provided insightful recommendations, and ensured that every detail of our dining preferences was met. Oceana Restaurant not only delivered a gastronomic delight but also showcased a commitment to exceptional service, making it a must-visit for those seeking a perfect blend of culinary excellence and breathtaking views in St. Thomas.

    Nothing short of perfection. From the beet salad, to the Caribbean lobster, to the best tuna I’ve ever eaten, this place does not fall short. The art and interior are stunning as well as the view. If you had to go to one place to eat while in St Thomas this would be it. The staff and cleanliness of the kitchen and tables were exceptional, and everything was exactly what you want from a fine dining experience. Thank you.

    We went here for my mom’s birthday. The ambiance was perfect. There was a beautiful view of the water and an area to sit out and look at the ocean. The staff were extremely friendly & our server Pamela was very helpful with providing suggestions for what we should eat. I only had the Tofu but everyone’s food including mine was AMAZING! The chefs really put careful thought into each dish. The wait wasn’t long and it was such a fine dining experience. Highly recommend this place if you’re visiting St. Thomas. Getting a reservation ahead of time is a must.

    I'm in my fifties and I eat on average 2.69 meals per day and this food and this location are in the top 10 in both categories. Really fantastic scenery, great service (thanks Clint), and great food. 20/10 highly recommended.

    Literally the best food on the island. Best service on the island. I came here only because Google said they had oysters, And it was my birthday. Our server Clint was so amazing! He was very professional and friendly and so well informed of everything. He was also very attentive even though we saw him serving everyone on the patio. The food was literally the best food on the island. I ordered the pistachio ice cream for dessert and I was so obsessed, you can definitely taste it was home made. He also didn't forget it was my birthday and brought out the sparkler candle. I had such an amazing experience. I can't wait to come back

    If you are celebrating a special occasion, make your way to this restaurant. At least 5 people (including me) were celebrating their birthdays on the day of our visit. The restaurant is open-air, right on the water, so you get the opportunity to listen to the waves while dining on a great meal. Our dishes were delicious, esp. the crab cake. Highly recommended. Happy Traveling!

    Everything was fantastic. Service was spot on, friendly and efficient. He provided descriptions and provided recommendations that brought the menu to life. The food was excellent and being ocean side was great. The restaurant also had an art gallery upstairs that was really unique.

    I loved this place. I have not been so full in a long time. I had the ceviche, the beet salad with whipped feta and a lobster. Plus a cocktail. The service was kind and attentive. The view was simply gorgeous.

    We had the best wedding at Oceana! Patricia is amazing with her food selections and connections with vendors. Truly couldn’t have asked for more. We are still getting venue and food compliments a year later

    This place is amazing. The view, ambiance, food, and service are off the charts. Next time I have an opportunity to go, I will. Love it. I only have a picture of the view and it does not do it justice

    Wonderful excuse to dress up and splurge while in St. Thomas! Gorgeous location - make sure your reservation is at a time you can see sunset for the best views. We were blown away by the pecorino fondue and tuna!

    Our evening was ruined by an over salted bowl of . Bouillabaisse Things happen in restaurants. We told our waiter who seemed sympathetic. He said he would tell the chef. My response was that the chef could not have tasted the dish as it was inedible. $55 entree and I guess the chef could not be bothered. Never appeared and never offered any adjustment or substitute our waiter disappeared about that time also. Could not get a water refill to wash down the salty taste. Just didn’t care. With the built in tip that was $66 wasted on an inedible entre. SD as this seemed to be a special place. Won’t go back

    Oceana was our favorite meal we had during our stay on St. Thomas. The service, drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts were all perfect. The view of the ocean and the overall atmosphere is stunning. Highly recommend.
