Restaurants near Waterfront Park

Four of us chose Isla Blue for Thanksgiving Dinner. None were intersted in the Thanksgiving special. The menu offers an increible selection from both land and sea. We opted sea. Before discussing food, I would be remiss if I did not commment on our server, Clint. From the moment we sat, until we left, Clint demonstrated a highn\ly knowledgeable, professional and helpful approach. He falls into the category of the "menu guide" type of server, with stellar communication skills. All four of us remarked of this before we ever had anything served. It only got better. Coctail menu will offer you some great choices. Starting with appetizers, the Concha de Perla shared cold plate was an excellent choice. We also were intrigued by the North Drop Noodles , made from tuna. It did not let us down. Also enjoyed the Isla Roll. Mains included the whole fried snapper and the grilled lobster. I opted for the seared scalllop starter as my main. Rave reviews fro all, and everything elegantly plated. WIne menu is not deep, but ample interesting choices. We chose the Vionta Albarino which paired well with the mains. Shared desserts included the coconut cake, well liked, and the Mango, not as well liked. A final comment is that we were allowed to linger and never rushed to leave, although we were last, under the attentive care of Clint.

The food,service and ambience were spectacular !! The tuna appetizer was exceptional as was the wahoo special and pork chop. Highly recommend the restaurant. Best sunset view on island.

Excellent experience. The parking is a problem. The lower lot was full and we had a hard time parking. I had to go into the front desk and ask. It is up a very steep hill by the tennis courts. We are 75 and 74 years old and walking up and down a very steep hill was a challenge. They should have valet parking. The hill was like a black diamond slope. LOL. Hard on the knees. Everything else was perfect!!!!

I made a reservation for just myself on the recommendation of coworkers. They had an extensive bar with some very high end bottles that are not common on St. Croix. The crab orzotto was creamy and perfectly crabby without being overwhelming. The braised short rib was unbelievably tender and paired perfectly with broccolini and creamy grits. The cheesecake dessert was not the texture I am familiar with, and it was served warm, but I enjoyed every bite. My server was knowledgeable and friendly and gave me some recommendations for other places to check out while I’m on island. Overall a wonderful experience.

We enjoyed our dinner. Our server Monet was great!
