Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in St. John

Beautiful table at sunset. Our table of four hot prime rib, chicken, sea bass, and snapper, all very good. Our waiter Brandon was very efficient, responsive and super friendly. We really enjoyed our experience!

We had a fabulous, authentic, island time meal & drinks. Our party of five adults chose to order all of the starters for our dinner and they were delicious. Group favorites- the fritters, caramelized plantains, spicy shrimp, fried chicken. We appreciated that the staff was friendly and we weren’t rushed through our meal. The rum balls were a perfect ending to the meal. Try the rum flight and the El Presidente for beverages.

We sat outside overlooking the water. Our waitress, Charlotte, was excellent and very familiar with the menu offering suggestion of her favorites and most ordered. I had the Caribbean lobster which was excellent. My husband had the sea bass. Bread service was not included but homemade and very good.

While it has been awhile since we were last here, this experience was like our previous ones. The food was very good and nicely presented. We STT at the bar and the service was great and our bartender/waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu with suggestions that were spot on. Of course the views are hard to beat on St J.

3 Palms is a gem in the Red Hook area of St. Thomas. It is nestled by the marina with indoor and outdoor seating. The quiet setting on the evening we were there was wonderful. Our server was attentive and charming, and the food was amazing. We had the mahi special dish and an incredible risotto with the addition of shrimp. We will definitely return when our travels take us back to St. Thomas. Highly recommend this upscale but unpretentious 3 Palms. You must try it.
