    We wanted to make sure we tried some good food while visiting found this place & decided to give them a try. We came & we're seated right away drinks just water since we needed an alcohol break. I had the Roasted chicken, Mac & cheese & the dumplings , really good chicken & mac nice flavor , taste to the meat. The dumplings ok for me. Hubby had the blackened Salmon with veggies, mash potatoes & dumplings salmon was very good, good veggies & mash potatoes. Cute little place, simple decor good service & prices we had a great meal certainly worth the try.

    Everytime I come home a visit a stop here is a must. Getting some island food into my system immediately helps make the hours on airplanes worth it. I recommend everything. You just have to know your tastebuds and what you are craving that day. I usually go with the oxtail, but this time I went with the mutton. Next time it might be something else. Also you must try a local drink. I usually always go for passion fruit or sorrel, but once again you have to know what you are feeling. Service is quick, but parking can get tricky sometimes.

    This place was amazing. It felt like a real local restaurant. when I receive my food, I couldn't stop eating it It was so tasty I finished everything The service was fast and easy it was quick food, but we ran into a problem charging the credit cards. They do a 4% charge on cards I found that very sketchy and the business trying to beat the tax system or something. Cash was a no extra charge.

    After speaking to a local, we came here for some authentic Caribbean food! I had the oxtail with the stuffing, Mac and cheese and fried plantains. My husband had the porkchops. We also had the homemade juice. The food was amazing! This is what we had been wanting our entire trip! It was filling and a taste of St. Thomas! The juice was good too but very expensive. Looked like each cup of juice was $4 each and we got 2 cups each. The bill was a little high for our 2 meals and the drinks but our stomachs were satisfied. Go to Arian's for authentic island food!

    A short ways off the beaten trail of cruise ship visitors, Arian's is a local place serving down home local dishes. They were open 11-4 for lunch when we were there and they were jammed with locals, blue collar and professionals alike. We were the only tourists in the place, but they treated us like king and queen. My wife had the kingfish with all the Caribbean spices. It was very good. I had the conch in butter sauce. It tasted great, like scallops cooked in butter. The Mac and cheese was also very good. If you are in St Thomas and you want a nice seafood meal away from the tourists, give Arian's a try. We really enjoyed it.

    Happy Friday...early start to the weekend...let's eat good...

We seated right next to the ocean and enjoyed a beautiful view while we were eating this evening. Our servers name was Adan and he did an absolutely amazing job. The entire facility is very romantic and definitely a place to go for a special occasion or even just to have a very nice meal. We both decided to start our meal tonight with salads and bread. Adan highly recommended the red & golden beet escabeche and I am very glad that I took his recommendation. It was the absolute perfect balance of the tartness of the whipped brie cheese, sweetness of the beets, and brought together with spring greens and pickled ginger. AMAZING flavor. For our main courses, I ordered the Caribbean lobster because they told me it was still alive in the ocean a couple hours before we sat down to eat and my wife ordered the filet. Both meals were exquisite. Her filet was cooked to perfection and the lobster was not overcooked. We finished the meal with French pressed coffee, flourless, chocolate, torte, and a trio of sorbet that is made in house. We had a wonderful experience and I highly recommend this restaurant if you decide to come to St. Thomas. This is one you should move to the top of your list.

The restaurant is right on the water so you have a gorgeous view if you're sitting outside. For starters we ordered the tuna tartare and the ceviche. So good and so fresh. My entree, the ahi tuna, was so perfect I can't even handle it. I don't have the words to tell you how good it was. My boyfriend ordered the lobster which they were doing a special where they added mac n cheese. The mac had cavatappi pasta which is my favorite noodle but his was just good compared to the stellar entree I ordered. For dessert, again, absolute bangers. We ordered the crème brûlée which was great and the bananas foster bread pudding which was spectacular. Awesome amazing and fantastic, go here!

As noted in my last review, our plan going in was to not eat all day so we could enjoy the 11-course chefs tasting menu. So glad we did! 11 perfectly executed small plates, each one fantastic on its own, but as an almost two-hour presentation, heaven on a plate! The restaurant itself is very nice, cool bar area in the back. Nice dining area. But, counter seating is where it's at for a front row seat into the kitchen. Staff is first rate, fun, happy, on the ball! IGNORE reviews complaining about prices and portion sizes! Those are simply IGNORant folks who didn't check out the place before dining there. Blue 11 is foodie, gastro perfection. Pricey yes, small portions yes, but for those who truly appreciate fine dining and expecting a chef's talent, this is a must do in St. Thomas. Easily one of the top two or three restaurants in the USVIs! Simply outstanding! Highly recommend!

This trip…read moretook me to St. Thomas, and being an island community, it also meant seafood, which I love and is hard to come by in Phoenix, AZ. The Fish Market sits on the beach at the bottom of the Elysian Hotel. While you can walk there, it's a long, winding road through the hotel grounds. While I want to say we were met with a warm island welcome, instead, we were met by a grouchy young lady who seemed less than happy to be working or enjoying her day. On a positive note, our waitress, Kieke, was delightful and sweet and a complete opposite from the hostess. As for the food, let me be honest when I say it was one of the top two seafood meals I've had in my life. I got the crab-stuffed grouper with broccolini and couscous. It was cooked perfectly and had a sauce that was delicious! At the end of the day, this was a great experience, and if you can get down to the restaurant (which is a hike), you will absolutely enjoy the meal and ask for Kieke and ignore the rude hostess.

Both were really good; the nachos were super fresh and flavorful with a nice mix of textures, and the scramble was light but still filling with plenty of veggies. Definitely felt like a good, balanced brunch option. The service was great, friendly, attentive, and everything came out at a good pace. The only thing that wasn't my favorite was the Bloody Mary. It had a pretty strong horseradish kick, which just isn't my thing, but if you like that extra spice you'd probably enjoy it. Overall, great food, beautiful setting, and a solid brunch spot. I'd absolutely come back (and probably stick to mimosas next time!).
