Secondly.. don't be a karen... the islands and the people operate at a different speed and a different culture. If you have that imperialist mentality where people serve on you hand and foot.. this is prob NOT the place for you. Thirdly.. don't expect Michelin star service/ food. This place has been here for 46yrs as of this review.. the locals love it and that's all you need to know. With that being said: I Decided to try something simple and unassuming.. just to see if their Tex-mex fair was on point... needless to say, in a city where everyone is trying to sell overpriced state side fair... luncheria was a refreshing surprise. I'm from Texas and I will say this.. if you've ever had food from a small mom and pop operation along the border.. this is the place that will remind you of home. If you want to have a south of the border fair that isn't just over priced tourist food and you're in the USVI ... come check them out!

The day was warm, so the waterfront boardwalk and balmy breezes on the open air patio set the tone for an enjoyable meal. Our server, Charlie, added to our enjoyment. He was personable, knowledgeable about the menu and pulled off the service with aplomb. He's a great ambassador. The four of us enjoyed entrees ranging from a Fish Sandwich to a Turkey Reuben, to a fresh salad, all of which were good. We added mixed drinks which were refreshing. We were never rushed as we enjoyed the view, the food and the pleasurable delight of great friends. I definitely recommend this Caribbean gem.

The location is perfect, right on the boardwalk with beautiful views, and the staff was super friendly and welcoming. For dinner, we came back and were just as impressed. I ordered the crab fries -- phenomenal. My boyfriend had pasta with mussels, and it was packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. And again -- the drinks were amazing!

Prices match the portion size and quality of the plates. Open table concept, with views of the boat harbor. Can get a bit loud with boats revving engines and blasting music. Bill was courteous, friendly and attentive, even sharing a few good stories of his two year tenure. Ask him to share his run in with a Danish patron, wow! Overall, food, service, cleanliness makes this a go to spot again!

They have a small seating area with picnic tables and an awning over it where you can eat. They also have a port a potty right next to it. You will find Jamaican music bumping throughout the parking lot. They really had the party going. There was an MC working the mic too. Being co-located at a gas station there is an adequate amount of parking available. This place is open way more than closed. They are open until 2AM most nights and opens back up at 7AM for breakfast. They have a variety of food options, including fish, burgers, wings, tacos, subs, fish, omelets, ox tail, ribs and wraps, just to name a few. They are reasonably priced. I found it funny that they had a sign on the trailer that said no mask, no service, but none of the workers had on a mask. SO, obviously they were not enforcing the sign. You place your order at the trailer and then go pay for it in the gas station....I know...Its weird. After you pay, you take your proof of payment back to the trailer and they get going on your order. I ordered the sweet and spicy barbecue wings with a side of fries. It took about 20 minutes to get my food, which on this island is not too bad. It was a ton of food. Very filling. I must say that the wings were some of the best that I have ever had. They were flavorful and juicy and had a little kick to them, just like I like it. But they were not too hot. The fries were good too. This is one of the few places that I can honestly say was worth the wait. The food was delicious. I highly recommend checking this place out. Don't be scared by it being a trailer in a gas station parking lot. It is a hidden gem and I am surprised that I am the first to review it. They have some really good food (with a wide selection) and at reasonable prices. I recom end checking this place out.

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!

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!

I have been a loyal customer coming here probably as long…read moreas they've been around in St John. This is the first year I did not go. The reason you wonder? The answer is last year the service was bad and what's more it was becoming more and more difficult to get a table. Less employees and they were either not capable or not interested enough to help the customers properly. Although they never allowed reservations, when you went there, they would tell you that they would call you or text you when it's available. Last year they didn't allow that. It just was a pain in the neck. It gets to be a point when the restaurant, although they need to make money, they could also lose loyalty. On the upside, I started going to Sun Dog instead, which I now LOVE. What's more? I'm also now going to THE LIME IN for what I consider great unusual tacos. When you're ready to allow reservations, I would strongly consider coming again, but the fact the matter is what I loved is no longer what I used to love You possibly could bring me back because I'm here for six weeks every year, but as of now, until you change, all I can say is Adios amigo
