Dining in St. Thomas

A February 2005 trip to St. Thomas by htrbaker

The food was much better than I expected. We dined out almost every night, so I have some great picks.

Blue Moon CaféBest of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Blue Moon Cafe"

Blue Moon Café was the restaurant at our hotel (Secret Harbor Beach Resort). After traveling all day, we decided to eat at our hotel the first night. We started out with appetizers. I ordered the crab cakes and my boyfriend ordered the blackened sea scallops. The crab cakes were so fresh and my boyfriend loved the scallops. For our entrées, I ordered banana-pecan mahimahi, which was delicious. The pecans were cut very small and sprinkled on the fish. My boyfriend ordered pan-seared tuna, and he loved his as well. We liked our food so much that we went back and ate dinner there again during the week, and the second time around I ordered the angel hair pasta in a pesto sauce with mixed seafood, which was even better than the mahimahi. It had chunks of lobster, crab, shrimp, and other assortments (I'm getting hungry writing this.). We also ate breakfast there, which was good but a little pricey for breakfast. Lunch there was also good. I ordered a grouper sandwich with black olive-caper mayonnaise, which also came with Thai coleslaw, which was really good, too.

The entrées were very creative and delicious. I would definitely go there to eat again. Oh, another thing, the restaurant sits right on the beach and is all open air, so you have a great view of the ocean. It's dimly lit and very romantic, and the service was great as well. The chef was in Wine Spectator magazine.

Duffy's Love ShackBest of IgoUgo

Restaurant

Duffy's Love Shack has specials on certain nights of the week. They have an all-you-can-eat lobster night ($19.99), and on another night, they also have a pound and a half of crab legs for $19.99. Duffy's is a fun dining experience; if you go late, your table might be in the parking lot, with the music cranked up and people dancing in the bar. I ate a lobster salad sandwich, which was really good and only $8. They have some cool souvenirs to buy there as well.
