   While there was confusion upon arrival with, apparently, our table being occupied (there are very few tables and many/most people are there just for drinks and apps), we wound up with a very nice table. Our plan was to have the Thursday paella-for-2 special and though it was mostly shrimp and mussels and very little of the daily fish and chorizo, it was very tasty. Perfectly moist, flavorful and a good portion. The promotion says it comes with a bottle of wine but it doesn't say, at least then, that you can have any bottle as long as you are choosing the lower priced rose. At the very least normally one would be offered white or red. It wouldn't have been our choice but wasn't bad and certainly, for the locale, good value-for-money. Service was typically indifferent or absent befitting all the F&B properties at the Westin/Buoy Haus but the food and setting made for a decent night. But really, add the word "rose" to the listing to manage expectations if not offering a choice. Note: one white was priced the same and a red was at a $5 higher price-point but maybe they have lots of inventory of the rose and are trying to move it out.

   Fantastic food and views! Super cheese pizza, tons of cheese and garlic, you won’t be disappointed! The salad with the watermelon also great! The lobster lettuce wraps were delicious! Drink’s varied depending on who was behind the bar, but overall were very good! Friendly and welcoming staff! While the prices were high, the food was very good and the atmosphere was great!

   Excellent food quality and service. Cannot beat the ambiance of dining by the sea. Food is a bit pricy, but to be expected at such a resort.

   The menu items lack proper description. The sea bass ($68)only stated it was prepared with citrus flavors. It came out more like branzino with the full head and teeth and deep fried in a batter. I sent it back and ordered another piece of fish which was delicious but took a long time. The oysters which were a special were the size of dimes and lacked any and all flavor. The Sandbar located below was delicious and the Salt Shack also on property was a better experience too.

   Our experience at the Sandbar was absolutely amazing. The food and atmosphere were incredible and the views right on the water were breathtaking. We mentioned it was our honeymoon and received complementary drinks from our fantastic wait staff. We have felt so special so far on our trip and at this dinner. Hope to go again while we are here!

   Paella excellent. Portions generous. Service good. My only complaint is that it is advertised as coming with a bottle of Spanish wine but we got a bottle of Argentine rose. Not a bad wine but not quite what was listed

   We dined here on our first night on St Thomas and it was incredible! Our waiter, Elgin, was one of the best waiters we have ever had. The food, the service, the ambiance…. It was all top notch!

    I had a fabulous dinner tonight with my boyfriend. We also had a fabulous server named Crystal who made our experience amazing. Her recommendations for the specialty cocktail and food were on point. This place and service did not disappoint!
