For our appetizers, we had the mussels and Deviled Eggs - the mussels were very good. And the broth was so good to sop up with bread. We had fuego margarita and Old fashioned for our cocktails. My Margarita had a nice kick. One kid ordered the no-jito cocktail and enjoyed it. For dinner, we had the creole shrimp pasta, ribeye and prime rib. The pasta and ribeye were well received but the prime rib was just okay. We had the zucato for dessert and it was a very interesting, layered, varied textured dessert! Food came at a nice speed and the servers/wait staff were very friendly to customers. We are so glad we had our christmas dinner there.

A cosmo for me, two blackberry old fashioneds, a grapefruit mule and a Johnny walker neat. The drinks were delicious & potent. We received warm rolls & balsamic vinegar with olive oil. Delectable. We tried the Caesar, garden, Greek & Thai salads. Fresh and well seasoned with house made dressings. Next up seared tuna & escargot. The seared tuna was sliced thin with sesame seeds & poppy seed crust. Beautifully rare. The escargot came with 4 toast points to soak up all the garlicky, buttery sauce. Entrees were lamb chop lollipops chop lollipops. Bleu cheese strip steak, chicken piccata and seafood pasta. Everyone enjoyed their choices immensely. Dessert was zuccato, which is chocolate mousse with rum cake. My husband devoured most of it. We also ordered the key lime pie which was tangy & light. Highly recommend

Our server was very nice and helpful with recommendations. Multiple servers came around refilling our waters and making sure we were getting everything we needed. Our server had some good recommendations for cocktails and mocktails! The menu included a very large range of cocktails and mocktails (as someone who rarely drinks alcohol this was appreciated). Overall the food was good.. not great. Something about it seemed to be unfinished or missing that little sparkle that makes you remember a meal. For appetizers we had the Caesar salad, artichoke and crab dip, and the bang bang shrimp. Caesar Salad - This was enjoyable! The romaine was fresh and was tossed in the right amount of dressing and parm. However, the croutons were soggy and lacked almost all crunch. Artichoke and Crab Dip - This app seemed a little bland. There wasn't really too much of an artichoke vibe, or a crab vibe for that matter. The best was the cheese on top. The toasted bread that accompanied the dip was plain as well. Bang Bang Shrimp - This dish was tasty. The flavors were as described and cohesive. I liked how the shrimp were smothered in sauce but maintained their crispy! Skin Fried Snapper (Entree Special) - The presentation of this dish was pleasing, unfortunately that's about all I enjoyed of it. It came over rice, broccolini and corn. The fish was lacking flavor and the skin was soggy and squishy, no crisp to be found. The rice was definitely undercooked and the corn seemed to just be taken out of the can and put on the plate. The broccolini was very good. Desserts (Rum Cake and Chocolate Mousse) - As a big dessert person, these were delightful. The rum cake came out warm and was a nice consistency. The chocolate mousse was the star of the desserts. It was visually appealing and well as tasty. It was so light and airy while packing a flavor punch. 3/5 stars. I would give Harbour Prime another try next time I'm in STX!

We had the Rasta Pasta, the Seafood Chowder, the Crab Cakes - I cannot recall what the 4th person in our party had - but 2 entrees, 2 apps., a side salad and one cocktail - $160. The service was atrocious. The waiter didn't come to get a drink order (not even water) for 20 minutes. Then we waited over an hour for our food. We watched tables outside get seated after us fed and left before we even got food. Our waiter never removed cocktail glasses, never checked back. In fact, a waitress from the other side of the dining room checked on us and obviously it wasn't her issue. We watched a table seated ahead of us with two young boys finally get their food - burgers with no fries, no ketchup, no butter for the lobster etc. They waited another 15 minutes and asked another wait person for that after our waiter failed to return with the same. Besides some of the waitstaff being completely inept, I suspect that the kitchen is too small or understaffed. Either way - they should not seat tables that they cannot actually accommodate in some sort of timely manner. The place is beautiful though.

Our server, David, came and greeted us a few minutes after we were seated, told us about the specials, and provided us with menus. Our table was a bit sticky so we mentioned it to the David who informed us that there was some sort of issue with the finishing on our table as well as some of the other tables in the dining area. I was a little surprised that these tables had that type of issue and were still being used by customers in the dining area. my nephew visited this restaurant a few times before. He was excited for me to try a drink that he ordered last time he visited, TAMARIND OLD FASHIONED, so we both ordered one. The drink was not as my nephew remembered it; he said he could actually taste the tamarind and it was a really good drink. What we received tonight, was mixed differently. It tasted like angostura bitters and a ton of alcohol. It was very strong and neither of us could taste the tamarind flavor in it. I mentioned it to David, and he had the bartender add some more tamarind syrup and ice to the mixture. When he brought it back, it was OK but still not tasting as my nephew experienced it the last time he was there. We ordered appetizers and main courses. My nephew thoroughly enjoyed the beef appetizer special. I ordered the bay scallops appetizer special. The scallops were cooked well but I wasn't too crazy about the sauce. I ordered one of the entrée specials for tonight, the little neck clams with linguine. I've ordered a similar dish at other restaurants before so I typically enjoy it. The al dente style of the linguine was perfect but the entire dish was way too salty. The linguine was salty and the clams were salty. It also had too much butter. I mentioned to David to let the chef know that the dish was too salty. He said OK and left. My nephew's meal was OK. He liked the salmon special that he ordered but contemplated asking for the salmon to be cooked a little bit more well done. He opted to not do that and instead take it home and prepare it the way he likes it. He ordered a side of macaroni and cheese as well but didn't like it too much so also decided to take that home to add his favorite seasonings. Based on my experience at the restaurant tonight, I am rating this visit as a 3. The food did not stand out. The dishes, particularly my dishes, could have used some improvements: however, the scenery is absolutely beautiful.

The cut of meat was small but as is with Wagyu. For dessert we had the banana bread. This was my favorite part of the meal! I almost ordered another one. It was soooo sweet and salty and warm and gooey. The caramel drizzle just amplified the flavor. Ambiance was nice. Nicely lit and decorated. There didn't seem to be outdoor seating available. Inside was quite loud. Service was great! Our server was attentive and had good recommendations.

Actually we had not found well crafted cocktails on our trip to the island until we found Estera. The waitresses were attentive without being annoying and they were also fun.

We told them that we had just gotten married (at the synagogue in Charlotte Amalie 4 hours earlier) & she was so excited to be in charge of our experience. She made wonderful food and drink recommendations and was happy to take pictures of us. She added so much to an already great meal. Now to the food. My husband ordered the soup of the day, a lobster seafood chowder with bacon. Very lobster forward with large chewy chunks of moist lobster meat. Then we ordered the surf & turf to share. It was a double stuffed lobster (Caribbean lobster stuffed with a lobster "crab" cake), fluffy mashed potatoes, & an arugula salad. The turf we chose (you can pick from any of the steaks they offer) was a waygu skirt steak with a garlic bacon butter sauce. We also ordered a side of bourbon bacon Brussels sprouts. We finished up with the crème brûlée. We kept looking at each other in disbelief throughout the meal. "Can you believe how good this is?!" all over our faces. Be sure to book dinner around sunset, because you will not find a better sunset anywhere on the island. It's truly magical. This is where Christy shined again. Not only did she take us outside to a prime photo spot and take pics for us, she pointed out the islands we could see from the restaurant. I could not recommend this restaurant more. Excellent food, service, views, and overall experience.

Everything was sublime, with all parties agreeing the coconut crusted shrimp was the best they had ever had. Steaks were cooked perfectly, the Gorgonzola cream cheese sauce was exquisite. While the rest of the table had wine, I indulged in the house margarita which was equal to the rest of the meal. It was light, well balanced, not sugary or syrupy. One of the top 5 margs I have had anywhere. All in all, a strong recommendation for all to make this a destination while you are on the island.

It is a secluded place on the eastern shore with an outdoor restaurant complete with a fantastic rocky ocean view. I ordered the chicken quesadilla that came with ooey-gooey cheese, peppers and onions and a good share of chicken. Two sides, salsa and sour cream accompanied the entree. It was good. My companions had a shrimp pecan salad, a chicken croissant sandwich and crab Rangoon with garlic fries. The fries, loaded with minced garlic and sprinkled with parsley, were a hit! Our server was pleasant and efficient. The resort itself includes a beautiful ocean-sized pool and outdoor bar. The hotel rooms seemed to be occupied, but unfortunately, most of the cottages destroyed in the hurricanes are uninhabitable.

Tucked away from the cruise ports, it offers a quiet, relaxing atmosphere that feels…read moreauthentic--you'll even see locals stopping by to enjoy the food, which says a lot. The positives: The resort is peaceful, the food is excellent, and the rooms are clean, renovated, and comfortable. While there aren't beach chairs because there isn't necessarily a traditional sandy beach, the pool sits so close to the ocean that we didn't miss the sand at all. Hearing the waves while lounging by the pool was more than enough. The negatives: Shower water was lukewarm at times, and housekeeping service is only provided every three days, which may matter for longer stays. Who this place is perfect for: If you're looking for a long weekend where you relax by the water, read a book, and eat and drink without leaving the resort, this is absolutely the place for you. If you're more into exploring and adventuring around the island, renting a car is recommended. Helpful tips: * VI Hail is the local rideshare app (similar to Uber). * There are two dining areas on site. * Breakfast is served by the pool starting at 7am. * Lunch is served poolside starting at 11am. * Happy hour runs from 3-5pm at the main-level hotel bar. * The poolside restaurant turns into a Japanese-inspired steakhouse at 5pm--highly recommend. It also features live music. * For casual meals (pizza, salads, handhelds), visit the main-level bar and courtyard. * Bottled water is $1. * Book directly through the hotel's website to receive breakfast vouchers for your stay. Our stay: We stayed Wednesday through Sunday and didn't have to leave the resort once. There are hiking trails close to the hotel, and a 20-minute walk due east will take you to Jack Bay, a popular snorkeling spot. Final thoughts: Grapetree Bay Resort is no-frills--don't expect a chic or lively scene--but if your idea of a perfect vacation is sunshine, a pool steps from the ocean, great food, and the sound of waves crashing, this place is absolutely worth booking. We will be back!
