Agave Terrace was a very nice experience, but not the best meal we had on the island. The setting is fantastic, with a brilliant view of the British Virgins. Our evening visit was perfectly accented by the live steel drums and the twinkling of the lights across the water. The food was good, but our group found it mostly standard upscale resort fare. Service was efficient, surroundings were very classy and comfortable. Parking was tough to find and required an uphill walk that could be difficult for some guests.

It's really impossible to categorize the Agave Terrace's cuisine as just "Caribbean", although I have, so let me explain -- they have fine selections of European and American style cuisine on their menu as well. Located on a cliff that looks down toward the ocean and neighboring St. John, this island landmark open air restaurant has lush tropical landcaping and affords spectacular views. The emphasis is on fish, lobster and crab legs, but excellent pasta dishes, steaks, sauces, desserts and a children's menu are all handcrafted from the scratch kitchen. Appetizers from the Caribbean waters are front and center on the Agave’s menu: selection includes Crab Paradise, Lobster Chinola, Conch Fritters, Island Conch Chowder, Caribbean Lobster Bisque or Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail are some of the most mouth-watering, but if non-seafood is your preference there are some great appetizers like Five Pepper Dip, Iced Gazpacho or Black Bean Soup to choose from. Having had seafood at dinner the night before and then at lunch I opted myself for the Grilled Chicken Daniela in their "Dry Dock Section" – which was done just perfectly and the chicken was succulent – and then for dessert had the Triple Chocolate Extravaganza, but the other selections like the Coconut Snowball or Agave Key Lime Pie also sounded like great island inspired finales to a wonderful meal. Agave Terrace is known as a number one restaurant and celebrity watching eating spot, but if you’re going to treat yourself to just one special night out for a meal under the stars, this is the place to go, eat and see
