This was after a day in St John. After we got off the ferry, my lady and I were super hungry. We were walking and saw the ambiance of this place and were like...oh yeah this is the spot for dinner before we head back to Amalie. Let me tell you - the food was exquisite!!! We had every course. The jerk shrimp tostadas were good. The bread was also great absurd a nice complement to wait for our main courses. I had the lamb chops and my lady had a nice seafood. I have nothing but 10/10 for every course. We had crème brûlée and affogato for dessert. I love affogato. Spectacular experience, and well worth it for the amount of food we got for $200. In DC, that would be a drink and a main course. We both had multiple drinks and plates. This is a food experience that will stay ingrained in my head.
I hosted my 40th birthday at The Easterly while a group of us was visiting St. Thomas. The service was so good. The waiter did an amazing job catering to our group of 12. The seafood was so fresh and delicious. The tomahawk was seasoned and cooked to perfection! I even got to do a birthday shot with the bartender as it was his birthday too!
The food: Really good The ambiance: Good vibes with good music The service: on top of it and very attentive The staff: De'Janae was great! Beautiful personality, very welcoming, attentive, helpful and made some great recommendations The location: Parking is a challenge in the area. We drove and I spent almost 25 minutes circling the area for avail parking. The surprise: 4% convenience fee which is not explained or stated. The gratuity of 20% added to a party of 4 (although for service received this time-no complaints) other than wanting to inform others The Easterly was good and glad we tried it. Even thought it took forever to find parking. The restaurant has an immediate good vibe with music playing, the view out to the bay with boats in the background, and modern flair. You are immediately attended to by staff and your waitress. De'Janae was a sweetheart - Such a warm, friendly, and helpful waitress. Now, let's talk food. For a small plate the tuna crudo was delicious. The spreads and breads with the beet hummus and feta spread was a well balanced appetizer of bread and spread before the meal with a drink in hand. I found myself dipping into the beet hummus more than the feta. The only thing i did not like was the Vessup alcoholic drink. It lacked flavor and any taste of the tequila I had upgraded. My wife loved her seafood risotto (i didn't like the truffle oil), the kids loved the shrimp tostadas and the added on lobster tail. The snapper on special was good; however, way too many bones. Having to be really careful and pick the bones out takes the joy out of eating such a good fish (too much work). Would choose something else All in all, good and would come again to try different things on the menu. It's a little pricey though. For a family of four it was $$$$ which translates to about 400 for us.
We had our last dinner in St Thomas at Easterly and it was the perfect last dinner. The food, the ambiance and the service everything was 10/10. Our host Kiki was so sweet and professional. My fiancée is vegetarian and the only vegetarian dish wasn't available, Kiki suggested an alternative that wasn't on the menu "Cauliflower steak" and the dish was delicious even the non vegetarian tried it and loved it. Highly recommended to try the steak, the portion is big enough for 2 at least. At the end, we were offered home made coconut macaroons for to go, we tried them later and they are very well made. Can't wait to be back!
Service was amazing. Heather went above and beyond to make our evening fantastic. She was knowledgeable of the dishes and always able and capable of delivering great service. The ambiance is lovely. There are a lot of fans. It gets annoying sometimes and a little windy. It sounds silly but it was very noticeable. It didn't distract from the dining but we did take note. The dishes and cups are some type of pottery. They were awkward and heavy. They are cool to look at but not very functional. They belong in a museum. The food is good and of very high quality. The apps really stole the show. The avocado flatbread is bursting with flavor and the spreads were incredible with the homemade focaccia. Ridiculously good. The entrees however even with their incredible high quality wahoo and chicken lacked pop and flavor. They both seemed bland and missing that punch of flavor I would expect at a high end establishment. Maybe they dialed it down to accentuate the flavor of the meat but they fell a little flat. Desert was fine, chocolate cake with some vanilla ice cream. But the coffee. The coffee is served again in an awkward pottery cup. It's also sold by the cup. It's good local coffee, but a per cup price seemed extreme. They also served it with full cream which curdled in the coffee and was just a bit unpleasant. Not unexpected, but for high end coffee at that price and per cup it was just ok. Overall we really enjoyed our meal and experience
The ambiance at The Easterly is absolutely beautiful--tropical, breezy, and thoughtfully designed with island vibes that instantly set the mood for a relaxing evening. We stopped by specifically for their oyster happy hour and were really pleased with the dozen Rockefeller--fresh, flavorful, and a great value during the special. The complimentary bread they brought out was unexpectedly amazing--warm, soft, and addictively good. Drinks were decent, nothing over-the-top, but they paired well with the setting. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and I'd definitely consider coming back for dinner next time to explore more of the menu.
This was probably our favorite meal of the trip; however, for the price point, there were some hiccups that should not have happened. When checking online for availability, it looked like they were completely booked and we were happy we were able to snag a reservation; yet, when we got there, there was noone there but us. We were greeted by a friendly host who recommended we did not sit close to the outside as there was nothing they could do about the mosquitos. Our server was equally friendly and eager to answer any of our questions. We quickly decided on what to eat and then the wait began. Some fight broke out outside and all the staff ran out - they were all gone for about 10 minutes and I was (impatiently) waiting for my drink and the brussel sprouts we had ordered as an app. By the time they were back, our food came out. At that point, we had zero interest in the drink or the brussel sprouts - of which we advised our server. He said the drink would be comped so I agreed to try it. Unfortunately, the drink tasted quite watered down and wasn't impressive. But then he brought out the brussel sprouts anyway and we were charged for them. The brussel sprouts were okay, but I've had better. Onto our entrees now. My friend got the roasted chicken and it was quite tasty. I got the wahoo cooked as recommended by the server and it was a bit undercooked for my taste. I ate the outside of the fish which was good and smokey, but left most of the middle on the plate. We decided not to even bother with dessert. Overall, not the worst experience I've had, but somewhat upsetting at that price point. Note that they charge an automatic 20% tip.
I was so excited to come here but was let down over and over again. We made reservations and came a little early. The hostess took forever to seat us and once she finally did the waiter took forever to take our order. We ended up getting two glasses of Prosecco and ceviche to start, but that was the end of it. They literally took one hour to get the ceviche out to us and never once came back to ask if we would like another drink. So once the ceviche came we were like wth is this? It looked like seafood salad and wasn't good at all. So after that debacle we decided to make plans to eat dinner somewhere else. After we ate I paid the waiter and he never brought my change back and I had to walk up there after about 15 minutes and say, "Where is my change?" He was like, "Oh, sorry I forgot." SMH! This place has a great vibe but the service is terrible. I highly doubt that we will come back here the next time we are on the island. I am only giving it two stars because of the location and atmosphere, everything else sucked! I do not recommend!
The food at the Easterly was excellent. My husband had the Seafood Risotto and I had the Pork Chop w Hoisin sauce. Both were delicious. Our Server's name is Kiki and she was so nice and knowledgeable about the menu. She truly made our experience there memorable. The ambiance we very romantic, we were seated close to the water so that added to the atmosphere.

We had such a great dinner at The Easterly, definitely more of an upscale dining experience but still felt really relaxed and welcoming. We made a reservation, but honestly it didn't seem totally necessary when we went. From the moment we sat down, the staff was on top of everything and so friendly. You could tell they really care about the experience, and everything flowed perfectly without feeling rushed. For drinks, we ordered the Vessup and the Carib and both were so good. The Vessup especially stood out, the cream on top was so smooth and delicious and just made the whole drink. They brought out fresh bread to start and it was so good (always a win in my book). For dinner, we went with the lobster with potato and broccolini and it was incredible. Everything was cooked perfectly and the flavors were just on point. Between the food, drinks, atmosphere, and service, this was easily one of our favorite dinners on the trip. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for something a little nicer but still with that island feel. read more

Not bad! Just overpriced for the quality of the food. The mussels were good, and the tuna ceviche was amazing. Service was very kind and attentive, and the outdoor seating with a breeze off the water was lovely! read more

Such attentive service, the best flavor combinations in their food (the chicken with avocado, plantain, corn ribs, and glaze was AMAZING), and such an elevated, sexy, beachy vibe as well. Definitely a good spot for foodies and lovers of aesthetic spots alike! read more

Absolutely LOVED eating here!!!! We chose this as the last dinner spot while we were on our honeymoon, and I am so glad we did. The ambiance is great! Open air but also feels a little secluded and upscale plus the service was great!! Although on the pricier end... the food was amazing. The pan-seared tuna is probably my favorite dish I've ever had. The complimentary bread and butter was also phenomenal. Can't recommend this spot enough. read more

Giving this place 3 stars. The St. John Seafood tower was delicious. However we ordered 2 14oz Ribeye's and they were horrible. Tasted burnt. The grill needs to be cleaned ( yes we also expressed it to our waiter). It also took a while for the food to come out ( not an issue though because we needed time to let our stomachs digest what was ate from the tower). The view from our seat was nice even though they wouldn't sit us in the corner because we were a party of 2 read more
First off this restaurant is simply gorgeous! My friends and I stopped her for dinner on our last night on the island and shared 3 small plates and a side! Everything including the drinks and little treat at the end were pure deliciousness! Our server Bob was top notch and extremely thorough and honest, much appreciated! The entire staff worked so well together in keeping the cups full and dirty plates cleared it was beautiful to see! Definitely a must stop if you are on the island! read more

We stopped in for dinner and the place only had a few tables filled. We ordered the octopus($24) and pork belly($23) as appetizers and for dinner we ordered the seared tuna($44) and seafood risotto($58). The pork belly was good but everything else was just average at best, especially for the price. The service was very good, and a tip was included. One bad thing was we got bitten up big time. read more

A must-visit every time we're in St. Thomas! Everything about this place is exceptional--the food, the service, and the atmosphere are consistently top-notch. The music sets the perfect tone, complementing the beautifully curated décor and laid-back island vibe. Every visit feels like a treat. This has become our go-to dining spot in St. Thomas, and it never disappoints! A special thank you to our waitress, De'Janae, whose warm energy and attentive service made our evening even more memorable. read more

What a fun restaurant! Maybe my favorite meal all trip! Inside is super chic and the food and service was excellent. I will warn if you get attacked by mosquitos like me, you may want to spray yourself with big spray before hand. With that said let's talk food: - burnt palm mocktail - super refreshing drink. The burnt li apple was a nice touch and added great flavor. - baked oysters - oh so yummy and full of flavor. A definite must try! Best part, go during happy hour for the discount. - wood grilled octopus - I was worried it wouldn't be cooked properly, but I worried for no reason bc it was grilled to perfections. Paired perfectly with the sauce. This was an amazing app that is worth trying! - mussels - another yummy appetizer! The broth is amazing as well! - chocolate mousse with honey combs - I tried it based on the waitresses rec. It is on the rich side and the portion is large so can be easily shared. The honey combs were a really nice touch. All in all a great dinner. The only thing I didn't like was gratuitous was included on the check. Good thing service was good! read more

Third day in St. Thomas and so far this has been our favorite place we've dined! Our server Ajani was attentive and made great recommendations for us from the menu. The fish dip with plantains was our favorite but all of our food was delicious! The ambiance was relaxing and just so nice overall! We definitely plan to come back! read more
