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

    We come to Oceana every trip to St Thomas. It’s gorgeous, food and service are excellent. Only 4 stars for food tonight because they insisted on serving the wahoo special on the rare side. I asked for it more well done and it was brought out rare. Quick fix and it was cooked better…I’ve eaten wahoo for 30 years wherever it’s offered and never had it rare. Not something I want again so thank you to the chef for the fix.

    We've lived on St. John for 20 years and have some wonderful restaurants. When we want an incredible dining experience, we make the extra effort and take a ferry and then a taxi for the journey to Oceana. Patricia LaCorte, the Exec.Chef/Proprietor, knows how to run a restaurant. We only manage to get here twice a year but what an incredible experience it is and well worth the extra effort of the journey. From the setting, to the ambiance, to the dining, it's a 6 on a scale from 1 to 5. THANK YOU OCEANA for making it possible for my wife, our friends and I to have a fantastic dining experience again last night.

    Went back here to dinner, twice on our vacation. One of the best dining experience I’ve ever had. I recommend getting anything from the chef special. The ceviche is one of my favorite highlights of meals. I cannot stress how amazing and elegant this restaurant is. I will recommend this to future friends and family who visit! Thank you Oceana for making my eating experience amazing on our trip.

    We had a lovely dinner at Oceana! We always save this as our last dinner on the island. My salad was perfect & the raw oysters quite tasty. My sea bass special was excellent as was the tuna special which was cooked to perfection. Our server Roxy was a delight! She was attentive & charming. It is hard to find a more perfect spot for dinner. Listening to the waves, watching the boats & witnessing a beautiful sunset was the best way to end our vacation. We highly recommend Oceana & will be back next year.

    Always a wonderful experience. Our favorite place for dinner. Service is always great and food is wonderful! Ryan was our waiter and did a great job. Started with the tuna tartar and it was excellent. Scallops were delicious. Husband had the sea bass and son had the ribeye. All were delicious. We topped off the meal with lemon cheesecake. Could have been a little tangier.
