We had dinner at dusk and the view of Cruz Bay is spectacular. The food was excellent and the Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc the perfect accompaniment to our dinner. We loved the roasted romaine salad that has a touch of spicy dressing. The appetizers were Asian infused and great! Service was on par with most any upscale restaurant.

This small restaurant has a great decor and a fantastic view over Cruz Bay and St. Thomas in the distance. The service was excellent, from the greeter, to the bartender, and the waitresses. All of them were very cordial, lively, and clearly enjoy working together. The background music was outstanding, and we complimented the bartender for the choice. The food... More

Such a lovely evening at this restaurant. Every table has a decent view of the harbor. Relaxed dining waiters who know how what fine dining is. The food was delicious. Everything was so fresh and the selections were wonderful. I would not recommend this for small children since it is very quiet and unhurried. Reservations recommended esp. at sunset. This... More

We were recommended to this restaurant by a friend, and we were not let down. The view of Cruz Bay was beautiful, the service rivaled any five star restaurant in any major city, if not exceeded, and the food was both original and flavorful. Unlike the five star restaurants downtown, however, portions were not stingy! We enjoyed every morsel and... More

The best food on St. John, and possibly the Caribbean itself! It rivals our restaurants here in San Francisco! If we had eaten here our first night, we would have eaten here EVERY night. OMG, they even knew what gluten-free was! Pros: FRESH, delicious food (more difficult than you think to find on St. John) Amazing views Romantic ambiance Friendly,... More

The owner of this restaurant still works there overseeing everything. We've eat there each trip to St. John and it's been consistent. We had fresh fish and it was perfectly prepared. They make all their sauces from stocks so there is alot of depth and flavors. Worth the price - make a reservation well in advance of your trip. Take... More

Asolare is a very unique spot in Cruz Bay. Phenominal setting and romantic atmosphere. Food was great. They have 2 seatings at 6 and around 8, so 6 is best for sunset. Make reservations in advance.

When asked "What was the most romantic restaurant on the island" ? I received Asolare more than any other place from seasoned St. John travelers. I made reservations one month in advance, as recommended, and when I called to confirm , the pleasant, courteous voice stirred the anticipation. We were seated exactly as the reservation stated, along the rail, overlooking... More

Recommended by a coworker, made reservation through hotel concierge same day. It was a great small restaurant and we got a table for two at the railing overlooking the harbor. It is very costly for a limited menu, entrees from 30-48 dollars, appetizers 16, salads 24 dollars. My filet mignon was delicious, came with an island lobster tail in a... More
