She runs a small, largely one-person operation, and that personal touch shows in both the atmosphere and the food. Her cooking reflects a traditional, family-style Dominican approach--simple, authentic, and done right. We ordered the pollo guisado (stewed chicken), which was rich and comforting. I opted for something lighter with shrimp in butter, served alongside fresh vegetables, rice, and beans. The meal was rounded out with a generous portion of plantains. A key point to understand before going: this is not a rushed dining experience. Service moves at a slower, island pace, so adjust expectations accordingly and settle in. Also, check hours in advance, as they are not consistent day-to-day. If you go in with the right mindset, Zeny's offers a genuine, unfiltered local experience that's increasingly hard to find.

If you reside on the island or are visiting this place is worth a try. Originally started to capture the lunch crew in in the adjacent oil refinery they have transitioned to serving many others. The only drawbacks are, given its origins, everything is served in to go containers with plastic utensils, even if you are dinning in. They will not win a Michelin award because of this but the food makes up for all other faults. Great local flavors and local dishes. I give five stars for what it is.

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!
