About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining

Overlooking the aqua colors of the Caribbean Sea, our restaurant is regarded as the island’s most iconic location for dining. We feature a fully open-air dining room. Most tables offer unobstructed views of the Baye de GriGri, spectacular breathtaking sunsets, dramatic full moons rising, passing sailboats and landing seaplanes.

Unsurprisingly, seafood dominates our menu. Whenever possible we source fresh, local seafood caught off the shores of the Virgin Islands.

We hope our passion for sustainability is evident in the highest quality and freshest ingredients we use, including seasonal produce from local farmers.

Our extensive wine list was chosen to balance refinement with versatility and intended to pair well with every item on our menu.

Our Bistro offers a fun, lively atmosphere designed with a come-as-you-are feeling.

We combine culinary excellence with superb service and an exquisite setting, creating experiences and

    Beet salad and crab cakes were delicious appetizers. Scallops were fabulous and so tender. Dessert (chocolate torte,creme brulee, and sorbets) did not measure up to the meal, but was fine. We would go again in a second for the food, but we'll pass on dessert.

    We enjoyed the supremely prepared appetizers of the Garlic Shrimp and Focaccia - the best I have ever tasted. For the entrées we both had the Branzino. While heavy on the lemon flavor, both were delicious. The bit of demi glaze was just enough to get a bit on two bites. Those were so good a complement to the fish, that I would have appreciated having a serving spoon size, rather than 2 dime-sized circles. Service was superior, also, warm and welcoming from our waitress, Rosa, to the busboy who was carefully attentive. The setting was amazing with the water in front dotted with sailboats and barges. We had a fabulous evening!

    It's such a beautiful restaurant, and the view is awesome. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and efficient, and our dinners were great! I plan to return when we visit the island again. Thank you for seating us early👍.

    We had a lovely time at Oceana! The ambiance was wonderful, the restaurant is nestled right in a cove on the bay on the Southern side of St. Thomas. My husband had the Oceana Bouillabaisse, loaded with lobster, mussels, clams, fish and shrimp in a saffron tomato broth. It was everything it sounds like! Delicious. I opted for the branzino roasted with lemons and tomatoes with a beautiful orzo accompaniment. I loved it all, the branzino was cooked perfectly, very moist and flaky, while the orzo was nutty with a mild olive oil and mediterranean flavor. They also have great wine options. Overall, we were so delighted with this referral from James over at Cafe Amici.

    Reserved a table for one, on a day I had work in St. Thomas. Setting was outstanding, service was most attentive. Food was top notch. This was my second visit, and it was exceptional on both occasions. Staff is friendly, and shoreside location meets any fantasy you have about being on an island. Thanks to all who made this a lovely evening.
