Beware of the Automatic Gratuity…read more We stopped at Hook'd USVI during our visit to St. Thomas. The location is great, the marina views are nice, and the food was okay. We ordered the Fish Tacos, Jerk Smashed Burger, and a Frozen Rum Runner. What future customers need to know is that Hook'd automatically added a 20% gratuity to our bill, even though we were not a large party. Then, at the bottom of the receipt, they included another tip guide suggesting 18%, 20%, and 22% tips. In my opinion, this is misleading. Many people are used to adding a tip when they receive the receipt and may not notice that a 20% gratuity has already been added. It's easy to accidentally tip twice. I have absolutely no issue rewarding good service, but restaurants should be upfront and transparent when gratuity is automatically included. Customers shouldn't have to carefully inspect the bill to avoid paying an extra 20% on top of an already-added 20%. The food was decent, the atmosphere was pleasant, but the billing practice left a bad impression. Before you sign your check, review it carefully and make sure you know exactly what has already been added. Bottom line: Decent food, nice location, but check your receipt closely. The automatic 20% gratuity and additional tip suggestions can easily lead to double tipping if you're not paying attention. I've attached a photo of the receipt so customers can see exactly what I'm referring to.

I ended up showing up early so I was only able to see and try the breakfast menu and drinks, so those are the only items I can rate Ambiance: 5 stars. It's an open floor plan right on the dock. We were able to sit right next to the water and get some fresh air. The place isn't too loud, but very inviting. They have a bottomless mimosa option and this place feels like it would be a great brunch vibe Service: 4 stars. Staff was super nice and waitress was helpful in regards of what to order. There was an issue with steak being overcooked and they were able to replace it, but it did take taking to 3 different people, which I thought was weird Drinks: 3.5 stars. The Rum away with me was absolutely wonderful, but the White Russian was not good at all Food : 4.5 stars Steak and eggs was fantastic. We had to get the steak recooked, but when it was made well, it was a top shelf steak. Crab cakes: also would recommend! No notes here Breakfast burger:,really loved the fact that the patty was smashed. I was worried that there was too much going on but everything combined quite nicely. I got the breakfast potatoes and they weren't really anything special. Overall this place was a 4.5 stars, but I'm rounding up to 5 because the vibe and views were immaculate

They are constantly coming out with hot and fresh baked pastries to restock the pastry case with, so whenever you come it you will always get a fresh and warm baked good with top notch flavor. I went with the Chai and it was one of the best I have had! I added lavender syrup to it and the flavor was there in the beginning and was really yummy. As for the spinach and feta croissant, it was amazingly buttery and flaky and overall the perfect pastry! The cashier that helped us was very welcoming and kind. The line moved quick and was filled with locals so you know it's a good place to get your start for the day. There is plenty of seating inside to enjoy your food, but also really easy to take in the go. Love me it here and will 100% be coming back

The coffee (and other beverages) were great, but what really stood out were the pastries. Excellent pain au chocolate, bread pudding, and other assorted savory breakfast pastries.

Highly recommend if you are staying in the area or just visiting on a cruise ship and you need a snack or pick-me-up!

Came into Salt Shack yesterday afternoon…read more *Park at the beach, if you can find a spot (no cost) and walk over to the restaurant which is further down after the main entrance of the resort. Great open space with absolutely gorgeous views of the water. Our server Mickal was wonderful and took our drink orders promptly. He checked in on us often to make sure we were well taken care of and our drinks were continuously being replenished (if need be) since we were a large party and not everyone was eating. One person in our party did order the guacamole and plantain chips which were very good. Solely based on specialty cocktails this review is mainly about our drink service and selections which supposedly the "must have" here and most popular is their Root Beer Float that is served with a light rum, vanilla rum, coconut cream, and St. John root beer! This is an island delight and delicious to slowly sip on while taking in the amazing scenery. This is a beautiful location where they offer breakfast, lunch & dinner. Looks like a nice array of foods and would be fantastic to revisit for that aspect another time.

Exactly what you picture when thinking of a perfect Caribbean restaurant by the water. We were greeted right away and sat at a beautiful table looking out at the ocean. Bench seating was comfortable and instantly relaxing. We did have to wait a bit for our server to come by, but it was busy and we weren't in a hurry. We decided on a painkiller and beer. We were hungry after being on the beach all morning and decided on the Cobb, fish sandwich, and wings. The food was delicious!! The salad was exactly what I wanted and the wings were spicy and super flavorful. Prices were pricey- but it was such a beautiful place and the food was amazing that it was totally worth it and I would definitely visit again.

It's honestly a pretty subtle flavor. If I got the chance, I would want to come back here to try some of their other items.

The food was simple, and satisfying perfect for a quick breakfast. Our plates came out hot, and everything tasted homemade and comforting. The juices were refreshing, and it felt like a relaxed, local spot rather than a rushed tourist stop. What really stood out was the warm hospitality from Bonnie and her husband, Roland. They were so welcoming and kind, making us feel right at home even though we were just passing through. That personal touch truly makes a difference. Overall, a great breakfast stop with friendly service and a laid-back island vibe. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and need a solid meal before traveling .

I found this bakery on yelp and the reviews let me know this was the authentic experience I was looking for. I ordered salt fish ($6 for a big bowl), dumbread with cheese ($2), and a Guava Tart ($2). The salt fish was so flavorful. The dumbread was fresh and the bread was sweet. They also use the thick cheddar cheese and warm it up upon request. The Guava tart was a great treat as well. It had a cinnamon flavor and filled with big chunks of guava fruit and guava jelly. I was completely satisfied and I cannot wait to go back next month to try other things on the menu. They are open nice and early and it's a little red door that can be easy to miss. If you're visiting St. Thomas and looking for a real authentic food experience do not miss out on this place!!! The lady who served me was also very nice and welcoming.
