   Oceana is strong on service and ambience- the classy atmosphere and view of the water one of the best on STT. But against those strengths, the food was not up to par. We had the Filet (not very tasty and the potatoes actually not good) and scallops (only 3 and gritty). Cooked ok, but the taste was pedestrian. No deserts were appealing.

   Wahoo ceviche and beet salad both amazing appetizers. And Halibut and Wahoo specials of the evening were excellent!

   We had an outstanding meal last night. We started with the beet salad. Our entrees were the scallops and bouillabaisse. Everything was excellent. Great service . Check your bill. They added 20% gratuity. Highly recommend this restaurant.

   We come to Oceana every trip to St Thomas. It’s gorgeous, food and service are excellent. Only 4 stars for food tonight because they insisted on serving the wahoo special on the rare side. I asked for it more well done and it was brought out rare. Quick fix and it was cooked better…I’ve eaten wahoo for 30 years wherever it’s offered and never had it rare. Not something I want again so thank you to the chef for the fix.

   We've lived on St. John for 20 years and have some wonderful restaurants. When we want an incredible dining experience, we make the extra effort and take a ferry and then a taxi for the journey to Oceana. Patricia LaCorte, the Exec.Chef/Proprietor, knows how to run a restaurant. We only manage to get here twice a year but what an incredible experience it is and well worth the extra effort of the journey. From the setting, to the ambiance, to the dining, it's a 6 on a scale from 1 to 5. THANK YOU OCEANA for making it possible for my wife, our friends and I to have a fantastic dining experience again last night.

    Went back here to dinner, twice on our vacation. One of the best dining experience I’ve ever had. I recommend getting anything from the chef special. The ceviche is one of my favorite highlights of meals. I cannot stress how amazing and elegant this restaurant is. I will recommend this to future friends and family who visit! Thank you Oceana for making my eating experience amazing on our trip.
