    Amazing! Welcoming! Tasty! Yes, these are just a few words to describe the experience we had at Amalia. We wanted a salad and some seafood. Ordered the Ceasar and the Zarzuela (sp?). The Chef knew we were sharing and without asking, split the main into separate plates. Very thoughtful. Tara was great and helped us to choose exactly what we asked for. Win all around!

    I had the worst experience today. My family and I chose this location to have dessert because it was one of the few restaurants that was open late in the downtown area and had multiple dessert options, and great reviews. Upon arriving we waited a few minutes before someone was able to get to us. A guy seated us and then a female waiter approached us. Immediately she gave her name which I won't disclose out of respect. Once stating her name she went right in to giving us the daily specials then proceeds to ask for our drink order. I asked for the dessert menu and she response was, is that all you're having? I answered, yes and drinks too. She then turns to the rest of my party to say, and what are you having? They answered, "dessert and drinks too." She response with, "then y'all can sit outside!" How rude?! It was so rude and degrading! Who would stay to eat or spend money after that is wild! This service doesn't even deserve one star!! The service was trash and I hate that my family had to experience such. I would not recommend this place especially if you're just ordering dessert and drinks, apparently it's frowned upon or not worthy of their time! 0/10

    Salmon

    Place is nice and fancy looking. Food definitely takes a while to come out that's for sure. My friend got the duck and she loved it. I ordered the salmon, it was okay but the sauce was way too sweet. Portion was big but pricey. The service was nice. Our waitstaff was accommodating and check on us regularly

    Server signed my check himself and typed in gratuity. When I asked why, he said that is what we do here and walked away.

    Attended restaurant during carnival. Our server was Manny. He described the specials well, gave food recommendations, gave a full description of the menu. He also discussed the various concerts occurring during the week. Food was just ok. I had the Zarzuela de Mariscos. It is a spicy tomato based seafood dish with Costa Brava-style Seafood Casserole of Snapper,Grouper, Salmon, Mussels, Clams and Shrimp served with by Rice. I wasnt the greatest fan of this dish. The issue is Manny adding his own gratuity to a paper written bill and signing my name on the credit card statement. Gratuity on the menu is added to parties of 5 or more. As a former server who has just raved about the great service i received, I am appalled at this behavior This is illegal and I will be reporting him to the manager and disputing it with my bank. Assuming a party of 3 won't tip properly because they're black is insane. He needs further training and to be fired.

    The crème brûlée dessert

    My family and I headed here for dinner the other night--and we loved it! We were immediately drawn in by the beautiful, quaint, European-style outdoor dining area. It was perfect and made for a lovely evening. Our server was excellent and attentive. The food may come out a bit more slowly than some might expect, but I recognize this as a cultural difference. Honestly, it enhances the experience, giving more time for conversation and fellowship. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal--from the warm rolls at the start to the entrées and dessert. I had the Chicken Piccata, which was fantastic, and finished with a crème brûlée. Everything was top-notch and absolutely delicious. I should mention--I know the owner's daughter, which is what first brought this place to our attention. But even if we hadn't had that connection, I think we would've stumbled on something truly special here. Looking back, this was probably the best dining experience we had during our week on the island.

    Beautiful outside sitting (Italian style) . Excellent food and good selection of wine.

    We came to Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas USVI on the Celebrity Beyond but wanted to experience some great food & found it at Amalie Cafe!! Our server JB was amazing & fast to allow a leisurely meal but fast & professional service ! He was AMAZING!! The ambiance was quaint but elegant. In the small, old walkways off the shopping district, tucked away, we sat on the covered out door porch with a nice breeze. It was wonderful for experienced foodies like us!

    Zarsuelo Mariscos

    Stopped by Amalia Cafe for dinner this evening, a short dinghy ride from St. Thomas Bay.... within walking distance of the dingy dock. Very nice dinner. Half the table shared a pitcher of sangria, the red variety, which was not too sweet, full of fruit and pretty darn tasty! The first courses were gazpacho and piquillo rellenos shared with the table. The soup was good, the peppers stuffed with cheese and cod, smothered in a tomato sauce was better! The shared entree was zarsuelos mariscos ... very tasty! Very fresh seafood in a tomato-based sauce, rice on the side. A good dinner, reasonably priced. We'd visit again when in STT!

    Seafood platter (half, split with sister) snapper, calamari, shrimp, mussels, rice, and asparagus $52 (for whole order).

    This place is a solid 3.5! Had a reservation for a party of 6 and was seated immediately. First thing I noticed was that the prices at this place are absorbent! I don't mind pay a lot of money for my food, but the food has to be well worth it! Nothing really blew me away here. The seafood was fresh and cooked well but I believe the shrimp on my plate had Gone bad and died 6 years ago. I didn't eat it. Portion sizes were a little in the small side, but I could lose a few. Very romantic ambiance! Intimate! Dim lighting (that's why all the food photos are dark! Lol) Our waiter was kind and attentive. There's everything for everyone on the menu!

    Go only if you want to be ripped off for a mediocre food. Sangria and shrimps were the only items that were not bad.

They did not have our favorite sake, but we were able to explain it, and the waitress was able to point us in the right direction(photo) we ordered the big easy with regular tuna instead of jerk tuna(waitress recommendation) and shaggy dog. Ordered unagi eel and tuna pictures attached) for dessert. We ordered the key line wonton. They were OK probably would've just ordered the vanilla bean ice cream with caramel sauce because that really was the highlight of the dessert. The patio is nice if you want to sit outside and have a view of the yachts and the dock, we chose to sit inside because of the vibe and we had been outside all day. Service was great!!! Chelsea thank you

    Coming up on one hour waiting for our order to be taken. Could understand if it was a busy night,…read morebut there are five other tables. Update: after an hour our order was finally taken. Waitress offered on the house drinks due to the wait. Once the order was in took about 20-30 mins for it to come out. Solid sushi and the dessert was fun. However the start of the dinner threw off the whole experience. Due to it being later in the evening this was one of the only restaurants still open, hence why we stayed.

We chose a sunset seating and the pictures are unreal. one of the most beautiful restaurant views because the water is right there- if you sit on the lower patio you might get sprayed a little! I asked for a creamy espresso martini and the bartender got it perfect- I ordered two! The other cocktails were good as well. The hot crab dip was amazing! I loved that the pumpkin pasts wasn't overwhelmingly pumpkin- it was just perfectly balanced. All of the vegetables and sauces on the Buddha's feast were delicious, but since it was just vegetables, I wish there had been more volume because event after sharing an app I was still hungry. We got the rum cake for desert, and we LOVE rum cake. However, if you had told me this was just chocolate cake, I would have believed it. It needed much more rum/syrup!

The food. MEH. I love carpaccio but this was underwhelming and didn't have enough acidity to balance the plate. I ordered the lobster pasta. Wow -what a disappointment. The lobster was over cooked and chewy. The sauce (bisque) was flavorless and needed salt and a bit of heavy cream badly. The pasta was way past al dente. Had to ask for bread- was told "had to see if they had enough for a side of bread." Ran out of risotto for a 730 pm reservation. Offered two specials but I had to ask the price. (Pet peeve--tell me the special price). And then the server wasn't sure and had to go ask. Go only for the location and view --not the food. The mocktails were both delicious. Points for having a mocktail list!
