We walked in and explored the place. They sell out things besides chocolate including souvenirs, but they mostly sell chocolate. We all picked our faves and each took a small box to go. It was an incredibly hot day, so we also purchased some cokes to go. Service is quick, regardless of how many people may be in the shop. The chocolate was silky, and so delicious! So happy we stopped here!

On our second afternoon we went into Charlotte-Amalie to look around and do some shopping. The driver for Dohm's Water Taxi, who drove us from the St. Thomas Airport to our hotel pointed out the Belgian Chocolate Factory as we drove past, and recommended it. Being from St. Louis, with great chocolatiers like Bissinger's, Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate, and Bijoux Chocolates, we had to visit The Belgian Chocolate Factory, and we're glad we did. The staff is welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed several great flavors, in milk chocolate and dark chocolate: passion fruit, cherry, salted caramel & hazelnut; all made onsite. My wonderful wife also enjoyed some chocolates with nuts mixed in - equally tasty. We definitely recommend visiting. ----- ----- -----

What a delightful experience! This small cacao farm tour was one of the highlights of our trip to…read morePuerto Rico. Such a gem, location, products and hospitality! This is a small family business, we had a private tour of the cacao orchard (in Spanish) detailing the entire chocolate-making process, with hands on participation and delicious learning opportunities. They toasted some cacao nibs for us to samples, along with some of their chocolates and cacao marmalade (if we were flying home in a couple of days I would have stocked up on this!!). Then we relaxed in their cozy outdoor cafe as the sun dipped down behind the flamboyan trees, drinking milkshakes and eating Bon bons, swinging in the hammocks sprinkled around the cafe. What a lovely evening! Reservation required, if you enjoy intimate, relaxed, off-the-beaten-track experiences like this, don't miss La Finca de Cacao PruVite!

We ate here on our last night in St. Croix. The restaurant is upstairs and the disco is downstairs…read more There is a spacious eating area upstairs and a patio area outside for dining. No one was using the outside patio while we were there. It was not very crowded but a few more tables came in while we were there. The staff (I believe they are the owners) were very sweet and welcoming. There was quite a long wait for our food to come, but the food was very good. I had the salmon with capers and seasoned rice with vegetables. It was a large portion and very tasty. My daughter and son both had shrimp and my husband had fried snapper. There is a bar upstairs and I believe one downstairs as well but don't quote me on that because we didn't go into the club portion of the place.

Plenty of free parking across the street if the spaces in the front are full. We did have to walk up to the second floor. I don't know if there is an elevator for those with mobility challenges. Shrimp Alfredo was garlicky, but not overly so. The butter shrimp with seasoned rice was homey, filled with red bell pepper and onions. House salad was very fresh with green leaf lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and cucumber. The fried chicken was slightly sweet. Our very picky "chicketarian" loved it. It's open late which was perfect for us after spending all the daylight hours on the beach and then coming back to our Airbnb to shower and change.

It came with a generous helping of hot French fries and 3 cold dill pickle slices. The restaurant has a large outdoor patio that offers excellent views of the ocean, with boats in the "bay." What made it more enjoyable was our attentive server Charlie who met our requests with a smile. The other diners in our party had no complaints; in fact, they raved about the French fries and said their entrees were fresh and delicious. Rum Runners also sports a full bar and a colorful decor. Prices are reasonable.

And that's what led me to Rum Runners. I'm telling you, this place really captures the island vibe. Great selection of music playing in the background waterfront table seating, very open and airy. This place is definitely a slice of Island heaven When you go, you really need to ask for Jake. Such a good server, excellent tableside manners, and just a good guy. Offers suggestions, and is just a pleasure to have as a server. Can't recommend him enough! My go-to meal at this place is the American breakfast which is eggs, your choice of bacon or sausage, toast,.. I always go for the bacon. And you absolutely, 100% must try the Barons hot sauce. Don't worry, it's not that hot but it's super flavorful and I'm ordering a bottle to take home with me! You definitely need to try a cocktail while you were there. Look, you're on vacation, it's okay to have a cocktail at 9:00 in the morning. You can enjoy the scenery while they cook your breakfast. If you look close enough you might see a crab or two. Trying to saddle up next to you. Looking for bits of food on the ground. I'm telling you, listening to the water lap against the rocks. Looking out over the pristine Blue Ocean, combined with a great playlist of music. Makes for a morning adventure. You will not soon forget. Forget. I have not tried lunch or dinner there, next time I come back I may just eat all three meals there. Bottom line you have to check this place out! You're in the island man so don't run anywhere. Take it slow, have a drink, kick back and enjoy the scenery. You can't do much better than Rum Runners on the boardwalk.

Our "fancy dinner night" for our honeymoon that absolutely did not disappoint. Fortunately for us,…read morewe got a great table in the grotto, and we were warmly welcomed individually by all of the staff. Service from top to bottom was outstanding. Attentive without being overbearing. And then there's the food and drink. First off, I love red wine and once upon a time amassed a pretty legit 800+ bottle collection. They had gems from my cellar on the list! On an island in the middle of the Caribbean! What?! I've not seen Turley on a wine list outside of the mainland in a decade, for example. And they had 4 different Turley options. Including one by the glass. Amazing. The food matched everything that preceded it; simply outstanding and captured a sublime balance of island and haute cuisine. The Lazy Lobster crawled mercilessly into our bellies, melded with plush mashed potatoes and perfectly al dente asparagus and a delicate sauce. The Lamb Shank masterpiece, served over gnocchi and the most wonderful au jus, melted over the palate, delivering a resounding umami "whoa" tingle. Both paired beautifully with our wine selections. Dessert was a rum strawberry masterpiece, complimented by one of the best espresso martinis we've ever had, and a generous pour of Angel's Envy bourbon. One of the best meals of our lives, anywhere, and we've been to some of the best restaurants on the planet. Maybe it was the sea breeze, maybe it was kismet, but regardless, we loved it start to finish and highly recommend Savant. We're no idiots!

Around the back of the restaurant is a covered outdoor courtyard with lush plants, a full bar, and lots of seating (extra points for the fans, the air circulation is phenomenal). Next the service. Impeccable. Every person that we encounter from the host, the bar tender and the waitress were so very friendly. I appreciated the recommendations that they had to offer on food and drinks (because everything looked so good). Some of the best service I've had on the island so far. Now finally, the FOOD!! You could tell it's was going to be good just from how the staff spoke about it. We had three appetizers (lobster egg rolls, ceviche, and calamari). Each were very unique and flavorful, great size for sharing, everything you hope for in good appetizers. For my entree I was torn between many different things, but with the help of staff I decided to go with the bacon wrapped double pork chop. And WOW I'm so happy I did. I always fear with pork chops of a dry, hard to chew meal but this was far from reality. The cut of meat was so juicy and easy to cut and chew. The flavor was fantastic. Cooked to perfection. For dessert I decided to go with a classic vanilla rum cake and it was perfect. I loved Savant, it was an experience from start to finish. 10000/10 recommend that you try this restaurant when on St. Croix!
