XO Bistro in Red Hook

Great ambiance food and drinks.

The prime rib was cooked perfectly and had amazing flavor the bacon wrapped stuffed chicken breast also fantastic. The drinks were good and the staff are super friendly and provided top notch service!

Eclectic restaurant in red hook, highly recommend

Food is well flavored

Weve been traveling to St. Thomas for years and always enjoy XO Bistro. Until now. We arrived this week and headed over for dinner. The hostess was welcoming and the server was a gem. We ordered the Bruchetta which was delicious. I ordered the Thai salad with chicken and my husband ordered a steak. The meal started off delicious until I noticed a cockroach crawling in my salad. I looked up to show my husband and noticed a cockroach crawling down the barrel of a high top table next to us. That was it for us. We asked for our check. When the hostess came to help clear the table, she saw the cockroach and quickly checked to see if I saw it and walked away. It was not addressed but it is clear that the staff is aware of the infestation problem.

Friendly fast service. Food was delicious. Not the best photo, blackened Mahi Wrap was delicious.

Best martinis places to hang and have some drinks. Food not to much yes for drinks Food : 2/5

First lunch coming into town, and last dinner before heading out. Great atmosphere.

Very pleasant place, super good espresso martini , very clean and very well maintained place with air conditioning, very kind and respectful staff and the food is good. Ive been there often and have never been disappointed.

We chatted with a couple at the pizza spot we got food from the night before. They raved about XO Bistro, especially the lamb chops, so we had to give it a try! We were seated immediately and drink orders were taken. The strawberry vodka cocktail with Himalayan Salt rim was perfect. Everything went down hill when our meal was served. We began seeing fruit flies on the table. I smashed two of them and figured they were rogue bugs that got into the restaurant. I couldnt have been more wrong. Bugs were crawling throughout my friends Thai salad. I was able to keep the bugs off my lamb chops while he sought the attention of the server. Upon request, she moved us to another table and offered to have the kitchen prepare a new Thai salad with chicken. She shared that the fruit flies are present when the kitchen doesnt take out the garbage. She went on to say that the owner was aware of the fruit fly problem, but hasnt sent anyone yet. Ok, disappointing, but the new table seemed to be the remedy. My friend is brought a fresh salad as I enjoy my lamb chop dinner. Hes about halfway through his salad when a fruit fly lands on his plate and another is on an obstacle course through the pieces of lettuce. He threw in the towel (napkin). This problem was again brought to the attention of our server. She smiled and told us there was nothing she could do about the fruit flies and left the bill. I wonder if we had issues at the dining table if the kitchen also is having the fruit fly issue. Truly let down by XO Bistro. 2/5 because the lamb chops were fantastic and the cocktail hit the spot. However, had his 2nd salad arrived before I finished the lamb chops, I wouldnt have been able to finish my meal either. Most certainly was not the experience I was expecting.

Been here for the last 10 years. A solid 10!

Service and atmosphere was great! Prices were pretty solid as well

Awesome quaint after hour spot. Open until 12a.m.

Swung by for dinner. It was just OK nothing too special. However my daughters food came with garlic mashed potatoes that were very good.

Great food and great service

Update: what a surprise the disgusting fermented ceviche made us sick - just don t go here - don t do it! If you want to pay $150 (2 people) for insultingly bad food - this is your place. The food is disgusting, the service is bad, the atmosphere is a mess. As someone already mentioned their ceviche tastes like fermented canned chicken and their dessert is literary Walmart cake. Just don t do it. Don t eat here if you have even an ounce of taste for good food.

OX is worth the money and time. The food is truly amazing. Everything we ordered had a really good flavor with local notes. Highly recommend!!!!

The service was awesome, the food was great and drinks were on point. Ill definitely be back XO.

You cant go wrong here. Food, cocktails, and service are on point. It dosent disappoint.

Seared tuna, brushetta, lasagna, and salads were all very tasty! Great time! Location is in a strip center... a bit odd, but inside is quant and cozy.

Just great food and awesome prices. Diana my friend just love this place

Great environment for a night cap or the evening out.

We couldn t find the restaurant we were planning to go to and ended up at this place. We are so glad we did! We had blackened seared tuna and fresh corn guacamole with fritters for appetizers. Both were delicious. For entrees we had the catch of the day and blackened scallops. Oh my! Wonderful flavors. So delicious. Highly recommend.

Starting our 45th year of marriage here was amazing! Knoy and Dani were fantastic! Knot the cake was delicious Thank you so much Food : 5/5 |

Always a great time! The food is delicious!!

ON February 24, 2024, we had dinner at what used to be one of the restaurants we liked in St. Thomas. Tonights experience was very disappointing. While the main courses were just ok, the caprese salad was horrible. The major complaint is that the service was horrible---no napkins or utensils until we asked for them. All the food came at once even though we made it clear that we wanted the salad first. I had to ask for a separate bowl for the mussel shells, Had to ask for an extra napkin. The bar tender was also the service person. It seemed chaotic. Indeed, there were many empty tables as we left after 8:00. That was not the case in previous visits. Too bad. Goodbye. Parking: no

Could be good, should be good. Just isn t. just don t eat here. I keep giving it the benefit of the doubt, but good god. If you can t serve good ingredients then take it off the menu or close your kitchen at a reasonable hour lol like you serve ceviche that basically feels like canned chicken. I have had better garlic bread at my high school cafeteria. Dominos has better garlic bread. Your caprese salad doesn t even have basil, you use romaine lettuce . Like what the heck are we doing? Just close your kitchen at 10 at this point to at least get something right. Your desserts are trash; everything edible is just garbage. At least they have big rocks for their drinks. Don t get any drinks on the menu though. Not worth your money

It was the worst experience I ever had it was my birthday I was so disappointed it was roaches every where do not eat here the bartender told us its that time of season there is nothing they can do about the roaches and that they sprayed twice that week like this was supposed to make me feel better about eating my food with the roaches do not eat here it needs to be shut down immediately

this place I would never recommend to anybody it s infested with bugs and roaches when I ordered my food which was lamp chops roaches came outta the wall the waiters made it seem normal this for tourists who travel and love food I would never eat at this place unless you like roaches and don t mind eating with bugs I m so pissed off neeeevvverr agin shut this place down immediately code enforcement need to look into this matter roach city

Very satisfying

We stopped in for lunch and it wasn t crowded. I ve heard the food is great here and I thought it was pretty good. I had the blackened Mahi wrap which was a nice piece of fish wrapped in a tortilla with lettuce, etc. and it was nicely seasoned. I had it with chips which were just ruffles potato chips out of a bag which was disappointing. The service wasn t great as it was slow, even just to get a drink order in. The bartender was friendly but the staff bringing food out seemed disinterested. Being entirely inside, it feels like a cave. The decor is nice, but it is very dark. Perhaps dinner is a better time when it is also dark outside. The menu looks good, so maybe I ll try it at night sometime.

Great food and service. Highly recommend this place.

Stopped by here on Sunday for lunch. So glad we did! Looks unassuming from the outside, but inside makes up for this! Great service too! Add this place to your list of go-to spots!!

We went on a Monday for their prime rib & martini specials. The prime rib was the best I ve ever had, excellent. What is disappointing is their website and prices are not updated and so their prices are higher, so beware.

Sat at the bar for dinner on Friday night (when the wait was an hour long). Audrey was the bartender and was wonderful. Felt like we were going to see one of our best friends. Great drinks and service, good food, wonderful conversation and a fun ambiance. Lychee martini and tuna were delicious.

Title: A Culinary Gem with Exceptional Service: XO Bistro, St. Thomas Each year, I eagerly anticipate my visit to XO Bistro in St. Thomas, where the culinary experience is consistently outstanding. The menu is a testament to creativity, blending local ingredients with innovative techniques to create dishes that delight the senses. The seafood is a highlight, offering freshness and flavors that capture the Caribbean spirit. What truly enhances the dining experience at XO Bistro is the excellent service. The staffs attention to detail and warm hospitality ensure every visit is seamless and memorable. The ambiance, relaxed yet elegant, perfectly complements the high-quality service and cuisine. XO Bistro has become an essential part of my annual St. Thomas experience, combining exceptional meals and service in a welcoming environment.

It was nice. Not amazing but we did come in pretty late. Staff was helpful and friendly. They were out of a lot of things.

Once you step inside, youll forget you are in a strip mall. The atmosphere is great. If you dont want to sit at the bar, make sure to make a reservation. We sat at the bar and had great service. The food was amazing. Would definitely return.

Excellent food and atmosphere!

Good steak and service

If your nightly special is prime rib you should plan better than to run out at 6:45 pm

Definitely our kind of vibe. Beautiful bar, perfect lighting, friendly service, delicious food, and drinks were terrific. Nailed it!

Beef dip is top tier. Wish they did roasted red pepper soup less than at least 1 time a week it seems. But one of my favorite spots for lunch.

Excellent dinner! One of the best on the island. Scallop dinner was amazing .

Great place for a glass of wine and dark espresso martini at the bar!

The food was delicious. My family enjoyed it thoroughly.

Excellent food best in the area. Love the tuna

Seems to have more of a bar vibe, than a restaurant. Parking: XO Bistro is located in a strip mall with typical strip mall parking. Food : 3/5 |

Would give this place a zero if I could. The young lady at the bar ignored me for at least 20 minutes, and was extremely rude when I respectfully requested service. Do not go to this establishment. Especially if youre a local.

Lamb I ordered was sooo salty to the point I threw it away.Someone was very heavy handed with the salt.

Good drinks, good service, ceviche is delicious.

They must have the devil working cause the food was absolutely delicious. You must try you won t regret only thing I didn t like was I ordered a 2014 wine if caymus to go and beautiful bartender gave me a 2018 which I was bummed

I left this place still feeling hungry . This was a $30+ catch of the day, which left a lot to be desired. Cute atmosphere and nice people, but the portion sizes needs alot of work 5 for the high prices.

Lamb chops was excellent. Regarding pricing, the entire island is expensive. Parking: Parking is available during the week. Maybe harder on weekends. Dietary restrictions accommodated Not sure

Crab cake was all filler. I could taste no crab meat at all. I think they forgot the cheese in the bacon wrapped stuffed chicken. It was overall just ok

A huge disappointment when we went. The service was better with the hostess than our waitress. Ceviche was shrimp and lacked any seasoning or flavor other than very hot pepper n hot sauce. The catch of the day, wahoo, is offered in 2 ways, with a pineapple salsa and the other way was in chimichurri style. My friend and I ordered the catch in both styles. They gave me mahi mahi and after waiting a while I kept it. Both dishes were supposed to come with microgreens and smashed plantains. Both dishes were missing the greens and the plantains were not smashed and badly lacked salt. The veggies were swimming in butter. The food was just ok but the service was eh. I feel like there are many better places in USVI to try including Duffys Love shack across the parking lot.

I was severely disappointed in the food here. I ordered scallops served on polenta. The polenta was cold and though the scallops were big and juicy, they too, were cold and ruined by the bacon jam. Ugh. Also it was dark. I couldnt see my food! Additionally they didnt have straws!

A nice place to take a break from the heat and have a drink and some food..

Great food.

We got there and it was not busy at all. Took 10 minutes for the waitress to come over and take our drink order. Took another 10 minutes to get our drinks and then another 15 to get our food. Food was fantastic but the waitress sitting on her phone and not giving us service was annoying.

My husband and I went to this restaurant/bar many times during our stay because it was one of the few that had air conditioning with indoor seating. The food and the drinks were really good. And the people were very nice too!

Outstanding. Great spot. Wheelchair friendly, bathroom not too hard to navigate. Peeps make the place and they have all the right people in them. Danielle was superb. Wheelchair accessibility: Its tight , but easily managed and the staff welcoming/ helpful.

DeAnna is wonderful and Audrey is great! The drinks are excellent and so is the food! XO is worth it!

Excellent service, delicious food, it just takes a long time to deliver it even if the restaurant is a little empty. I loved the fruit punch juice!!

Kid-friendliness: Will make dishes for kids not on the menu. Food

It s a shame this place has poor, rude, and hustled people ever that work here .because the restaurant itself is beautiful. Great vibe except for the service. We waited 10 minutes to be seated, which seemed to be a problem. We asked about the Martini happy hour and was told that it was Stoli vodka Martini s . We ordered the martinis off the menu and then found out AFTER paying that those were not part of the happy hour. Oh AND they add a 20% service charge to your bill even if they didn t earn it. Totally avoid - this place is a death trap for tourists which is a shame. Just go to Duffy s or Tap and Still and save your money.

Don t go here for happy hour. Good luck having having happy hour. Martini Mondays include basic martinis only, don t order anything off the menu. Not clear about the prices and stuck with a ridiculous bill.

We planned a fancy dinner stop on our last vacation to St Thomas at this location. Dont be fooled by the fact that this restaurant is in a strip mall, the inside is every bit as cozy and inviting as if it were in its own standalone location. My boyfriend and I split the shrimp scargot and when I say it is easily the best appetizer Ive ever had in my life, that is with zero exaggeration. We were a little bummed the bacon wrapped chicken wasnt available that night but stuff happens and the tuna was a decent substitute. Their mashed potatoes are heavenly and whoever made the drinks at the bar made a peach John Daly to die for. Thank you XO for a wonderful meal and an unforgettable time.

Must try!!

My husband and I had dinner at XO on a Friday evening during our honeymoon. There is a good vibe to the atmosphere. The hostess and our server were so nice. We ordered the Cajun Tuna specials and an appetizer. The appetizer came out quickly. Our entrees were perfectly cooked the tuna was rare not overdone. All of the flavors tasted wonderful together. We will definitely be back on future trips to St. Thomas. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and atmosphere; my only complaint is that they brought out entrees while still having appetizers even after we specifically requested that we wanted time in between.

Food and service were excellent, the seared Tuna especially. The only issue was noise from the bar, but that was to be expected in a Bar / restaurant.

Stopped by for lunch and some wine. Was served by Taylor, a wonderful bartender with a great personality. The food was great, the wine was tasty, everything was wonderful. Ill be back! Food

Loved the atmosphere and drinks! Food was wonderful as well!

Took one bite out of the appetizer and saw a bug crawl out. I was pretty much done after that. Asked for medium steak that came out rare. Honestly one of the worst and most expensive dinners I ve had. $170 later left disgusted and pretty pissed to say the least. Highly do not recommend.

Get the lamb chops.

We visited this place twice during our visit in St.Thomas. First time the food was amazingly delicious, so we chose to come back a second time and ordered the same food. (Blackened tuna and spicy Thai salad). The second time the spicy Thai salad tasted like old oil and the tuna was way too overcooked. We also saw a cockroach climbing on the wall which ruined the whole experience even more. Will not come back. Too expensive too - not worth it!

The server and greeter are both rude and disrectful. When I asked the server to speak with the manager she said I am the manager. They are very unprofessional with no customer service skills. I even had a small roach in my food and when I showed the server she just argued with me instead of removing the plate. She let the greeter give me my bill and it was incorrect inehich she still charged me for the roach food. I never experience this kind of behaviors in my life.

Allí and Diana are the best bartenters ever!! thank you for amazing service!

Our experience at XO was excellent. Although we arrived early than expected we were sitted promptly (low season was to our benefit). The bartender Diana also our waitress was accommodating and the service top notch. We had the Tbone, pork chop and wrapped chicken. All excellent.

Always a pleasure to spend time here, great food, stiff drinks!

Great good and drinks

I love the atmosphere there. Its so people. Friendly. And the food smell so good and the staff is nice

This place hes probably as good as its going to get in St Thomas

Great

Great shrimp scargot. Our party had a number of delicious sandwiches as well. Friendly staff to boot

Food good, service was OK. Usually dont care but it made the experience kinda ehhhhh

One of the best places in red hook staff is amazing food is amazing. Always top notch not to mention AC. If your a local or just visiting this is a spot to check out.

Everything was top notch. Had a party of 8 and no one had a single complaint about their food. Had great drinks waiting for our table and all the bartenders and wait staff were friendly and helpful. Stayed at rhe Ritz Carlton and this was our best meal if the week by far.

Always a great way to end an evening. The staff is great!

Great service and great food. One of our favorites.

Small cozy place to dine. Food served was excellent as was the service. Reservations a must.

It was okay. Food was prepared as ordered. The ceviche was the highlight of the meal. The ribeye was drenched in a creamy gorgonzola sauce which was covering up the meat, and the tuna was tasty (perfect rare sear) but had some unexpectedly large tough pieces that I couldnt chew.

First off, Im not much of a wine drinker, but if YOU are, then this is the place for you!! Cocktails were merely ok here and Bartender was a tad snobbish. However, we had the daily special ribeye with risotto and roasted mixed veggies and OH MY WORD this was easily one of the best steaks Ive ever had!!! The risotto was better than what Ive been served in ROME, ITALY yall! I couldve eaten only the risotto and walked away a happy gal. Highly recommend reservations as well. Hostess was able to squeeze us in at the bar on a hopping Friday night during primetime dinner hours, thank goodness!

Fantastic bar! Great vibe!

Not worth the money, at least for the seared scallops. 4 tiny scallops for 40 dollars. Less than an appetizer serving.

Pretty solid. Had lamb chops with a sweet sauce at midnight, can t complain.

Can t say enough great things. From the staff to the food to the drinks, it was all absolutely amazing. HIGHLY recommend, and that s not something I say lightly.

Waitress completely forgot about us and then another girl came over and forgot about us again. Food was in the tiniest portions for $20+. Not worth it.

What a great atmosphere. We made reservations so we could get a table. The food was amazing and the service was even better. The portions were very generous. Everyone working there was well dressed and made sure every guest was getting the best service possible. I had to ask our server if the crew always worked that well together and she told me most had been working there for years. This is a female owned restaurant and strives to be the be the best experience you will have while dining on the island.

Two weeks later and can not stop talking about how good the restaurant, service and food was. Best dinner experience we had on St Thomas. We will be back.

Amazing dining experience. Close quarters with an intimate setting, and EXCELLENT food.

We went here 3 nights and all the dishes were delicious. Highly recommend the blackened tuna app and lasagna was amazing! Peach cake was yummy too!

Great food and service.

This is a good place to have a nice dinner. Dishes are greatly presented and food tastes good. The crab cakes definitely worth a try. The ceviche with the catch of the day was great too, a good mixture of sea food and great balance of spicy. The hostess is very kind as well as the waiters. The local has a nice ambience, tv are set with low volume, the whole place has a good atmosphere. It seemed like a nice place to stay over after dinner for some cocktails. They have a nice selection of wine. Definitely deserves another visit.

Delicious food and excellent service love to eat here only occasionally because $$$

Came here tonight (Saturday) w/o a reservation around 8pm. Was seated quickly however the place seems short on staff. Our food took over 1 hour, our server forgot to even enter our order which is why it took so long & she never came to check on us. Around 9pm a large group came in and just hung around the bar area this would be ok if they had more space. It took over 20 mins to get the bill after asking 3 separate workers. Imagine other people standing/ lounging over you while eating. So annoying , will not be returning. Food was good 4/5

The food and the drinks were ok in my opinion. I think they changed cooks and bartenders. It was not as good as any of the previous times I was here.

My partner and I came with reservations for dinner tonight. We had the garlic bread appetizer, filet special, and the bacon wrapped stuffed chicken. He had the Manhattan martini and we shared the key lime pie with fresh coffee. We both agree that this was one of the best (if not the best) meal we have ever had. Everything was done to perfection and with exceptional flavor. Please open up a resturaunt in Detroit, MI. Thank you!

This place never lets us down, we had dinner there 3 years ago after getting married on the beach and we just went back for our anniversary!

Alli was my bartender! She was amazing, love her. Im from Philly and cant wait to come back to see her again!

I visited St. Thomas the week of May 22, 2022, for vacation. The island was a great away to relax and unwind. My party found ourselves at XO Bistro on the 23rd, following some beach activities. We couldnt return home on an empty stomach, so why not. The service was good and the food even better. I enjoyed the Lamb Shank Pot Pie paired with a full-body red, reasonably priced for the quality of food provided. We left the restaurant with full bellies and happy hearts. Here is where the 1 stars come in. The charge for our meals did not show up until 3 weeks after our visit. Which is no big deal. Banks and technology hiccups, you know, they happen. What seemed very peculiar is that everyone from our party was charged twice on their card for their meals. I can understand one person having a charge twice. Maybe even two. But a party of five all being charged double for all meals, something is up. Here is the short and sweet. This place has good food and service. Just be mindful and keep an eye on your bank statement after they charge you.

I visited the restaurant on 5/20/22 with a party of 7. I have no complaints about the food or the service but for some reason I was charged twice. Im not the only person this seems to have happened to. Still trying to get this rectified.

The cheese board is out of this world and a must-try. Not a lot of vegan options, but the lacto-ova-veg options are tasty. An odd upscale-sports bar vibe, but a nice meal.

Had decent food and a nice vibe, but the food was a bit overpriced for what it was.

Food excellent, Audrey was excellent, hostess with the glasses had a very poor attitude and was impatient, I had to stop my wife from snapping on her. Other than that we would come back again and again

Parking can be tricky, but does exist. The restuarant is not easily found and GPS can have a fit trying to get you there. XO Bistro is a little more upsalce than most beachtown restaurants - they probably wont throw you out if you are in a t-shirt, swim suit and flip flops, but you will feel under dressed. The menu and wine list are varied. Service was timely, but not rushed. They make ercellent appetizers and know how to cool ahi (tuna).

Food was excellent. Service was friendly, but really slow. Had a 5pm reservation, didn t get seated until almost 5:15 and then took another 10 min to get water. After getting our water we waited another 15min for them to take our drink order, needless to say we went ahead and ordered our food too. Luckily, the food was good enough to be worth the wait.

The lasagna was multiple layers of deliciousness. The tuna was cooked to perfection. The food and service were incredible. Note to management: when you dont limit the drinks you become a bar scene not a fine dining establishment. Probably the worst atmosphere we experienced on this island. Not one group but multiple groups of intoxicated people talking at the top of their lungs.

U gotta it

garlic bread was good, food took about an hour and a half to come out though. service was ehhh. bartender/servers were taking shots behind the bar. more of a bar scene then a fancy dining restaurant since there was obvious intoxicated people screaming and pounding on tables.

We have been on STT for 5 days and the food for us has been very hit or miss. XO Bistro was an 11/10, best meal we have had on the island! My husband got the fresh catch and I had the mahi mahi, we will be back!

Great decor, awesome food and amazing service. Hubs prime rib sandwich was about the best prime rib weve ever tried.

We tried twice to make a reservation and didnt hear back from anyone. We stopped in on our way back to the condo and we were able to seat ourselves. The place wasnt very busy at all. It took us roughly 10 minutes to place our order, and about 45 minutes later we got our food.. We were honestly about to leave because we were not impressed with how long the food took especially with roughly 10 customers total. We placed our order just before another couple did and they got their food 20 minutes before we did. I got the prime dip and enjoyed it. My husband got the mahi wrap and enjoyed it as well but we cant really say it was worth the wait.

Awesome service and food! No complaints. Made friends with all the surrounding tables. Highly Recommend.

This was honestly the best place we have eaten in St. Thomas by far! The atmosphere, hospitality, and food were all delightful.

The ribeye steak was so flavorful! Wish the trip was longer so I couldve enjoyed more of the menu!

Always a delicious meal. Great atmosphere. My number 1 go to eatery.

Absolutely best place to eat in that harbor! Love the vibe and Emilys great!!

I like this restaurant and overall they do a nice job. The food is fresh and the servers are great. Nice wines to compliment the meals.

I forgot just how bad the food was here the first time, but making sure to write a review so I don t make the same mistake again. We ordered the fettuccine with shrimp - the shrimp were vile, salty and not fresh. The scallops with polenta and bacon jam - was ok but cold and polenta lumpy. The steak tough. The only thing worst than the food was the service. The hosts were lovely and welcoming, but our waitress I think Pat, was also the bartender and didn t see her smile once. But I guess her sour attitude matched the food. This place is a no thank you.

Food was horrid and service sucked.

Cozy ambiance, great food and a pretty good wine menu. Perfect place for a date night!

Great food and atmosphere. The staff and waitresses were friendly. I highly recommend the Spicy Thai Salad and their Catch of the Day. If you love 90s music, come after 10.

Place is amazing, I ordered a ribeye, and it melted in my mouth. Located in Red hook, where you can enjoy the best in cuisine.

If you want the island experience with dining, this is not the place. Typical meals you can buy at any restaurant in your own country. Very dark interior such as a bistro should be. But for an Island experience restaurant this is not the place.

We walked in for lunch on a Friday and the customer service was impeccable. The host was so friendly and checked on us through out our lunch. The fresh caught ceviche and the French dip sandwich is exactly what we needed!

Food was mid. Kinda pricey for the taste. Wouldn t go back.

Steak was very undercooked from order & without the cream sauce, shrimp linguine had tails still on, no water delivered at seating, left no tip on credit card, but did leave cash tip on table, waitress followed us outside demanding to know why there was no tip without looking at the table. Will never return, hopefully they will get better staff this resurant has typically been much better

Amazing Ribeye! They sat us perfectly for the Football game also.

Cant praise this place enough!! Service was exceptional, food was AMAZING and the atmosphere was superb! Its in a little strip mall so you dont get the waterfront views but everything else more than makes up for it!

Very friendly staff!!

Found this gem ~ drinks were great, shrimp appetizer, salmon, and snapper were delicious. Ladies at the bar and Olivia the hostess were super nice. Definitely come through.

Appetizer of shrimp escargot was yummy. My wife liked her tuna. My mahi mahi was very dry and overcooked. Maybe it was the Monday cook. Other restaurants are much better for the same price. Service was good Nice ladies own and run the place.

The place is beautiful inside and the service is a little better than other places. Definitely recommend the seared scallops with the polenta, it was delicious. The combination of the jelly bacon with the corn and shellfish was amazing! They have an extensive wine selection. They dont seem to take reservations online but they do over the phone so make sure u book one before arriving.

XO bistro is a fun place to stop when youre in Red Hook. Great food, great drinks and fun vibes. Go to Duffys Love shack after Id grab a drink. You wont regret it.

Excellent

Went for drinks and ended up trying some appetizers, shrimp scargot I believe its call, and the crab cakes were good, and they had good service , waitress was pleasant.

Cheese board was delicious however it didnt have the cheese that was listed on the menu. It was also listed as $20 but the bill reflected $25. When we asked the server to adjust the bill she defended the higher price by saying the new menu wasnt updated. She did eventually adjust the bill. Our crab cakes were burnt on one side. The were flipped over so we werent supposed to see. We sent the bank and the chef brought us new crab cakes but with a dirty look. The bathroom was also very messy.

Great time. The waitresses, host and waiter were very nice. The atmosphere was cozy. Great place for a girls night.

I reserved online in advance. We had to wait like 30-40mins for our table. I was not happy about that, considering I had reservations. I understand you cant control how long others take to eat, but come on that was too long. It wasnt just 10 or 15mins. Anyways my girls ordered the same drink and they were not good, we got the waitress to just take them back no charge to us. The menu was a nice menu. But the food was just okay for most of my party. But my bacon wrapped chicken was really good. Howver the waitress got my friends order wrong and came back basically telling my friend that she ordered tuna, when we all know she ordered the salmon bc she doesnt even eat tuna lol I guess the waitress just wanted to be right so bad.

Where do I begin. Out of all the restaurants on this island this was the only one that had great food and service. They were very accommodating to a group of 10. I don t remember the waitresses name but she was very spunky and nice. We all ordered different plates such as the ribeye, catch of the day, baked Brie, even the ceviche. Everything was phenomenal and perfectly cooked. Didn t lack any flavor like many of the other places we tried in that area. The wine tasting and recommendations of beverages was on point. The customer service was exactly what we needed to end the trip on a positive note. I highly recommend coming here every night.

The Shrimp Scargot was great, the rest of the food we had was sub-par. The ribeye tasted really bitter, it was a special with garlic and herbs which seemed burnt. The mashed potatoes were dry and the gravy tasted really off. The scallops were near-burnt on one side and the shrimp were over cooked.

Good quality food even for picky people like me! Love the brushetta, guac and Wontons, capresse salad!

A local suggested the place for lunch and glad we came. Delicious and great service!

Delicious food!

Great food and service

We showed up at 7pm without a reservation and fortunately we were able to be seated at a table right away. The music was great and the ambience was quirky and fun. My husband and I ordered garlic bread, the soup of the day, ribeye w/ potatoes, and lamb shank pot pie (its not your typical pot pie, its more of a stew with a puff pastry on top). All in all we spent about an hour to sit, eat, and pay and it was $100 for all of the food, a St Johns root beer, and a Guinness. Definitely recommend!

Good service and food. Intimate bistro spot.

The server was nice, but Ill never eat there again. The food was bland and its a very cramped space. It also took my entire lunch break to get my sandwich, Which means I had to take it to go. I ended up having to season it and cook it more. How do you serve an au jus thats basically just bland hot broth? Smh Its gonna be a no for me.

Food was excellent! Should make a reservation. Atmospheric is cozy , music is upbeat . Food was made fresh to order, enjoy the unique flavor of the mixed drinks and lots options for wine. Very nice wait staff .

Great food and drinks at a reasonable price

Wouldnt go back, it was average

Loved it, not too crowded, didn t make me feel weird for being by myself. The food was good and had plenty of leftovers

Really good food! Martini was superb

Sad to see such an excellent week end with such poor customer service at the XO Bistro. Being sat first you notice when couples come into the restaurant after you and their tables receive wonderful assistance from several waitresses while you are barely attended by one. Sadly you notice when this table gets their water first, they get their candles lit first, and their multiple waitresses attends to their needs four times to your one. Then when you bring this to your server s attention they stop giving you the poor service that you previously had and the service become s down right atrocious. Now I am a fair guy, but you do notice a big difference when you re not being treated fairly, and I do believe that poor customer service is very telling plus it ruins the whole dining experience. And here is the kicker. The gentlemen sitting arose from me didn t ever get his food! His wife received hers and was ninety percent finished before his food emerged from the kitchen . When it arrived he quietly said, Please box up my food. It s to late. I m taking it home. #FrustratedAtTheXO #AndWeWereCelebratingMyFifiethBirthday

Very nice place great service and some very awesome food! The tuna was the best Ive ever eaten! Highly recommended..

We all enjoyed our meals. Service was fantastic, drinks delicious. Definitely a wonderful vibe. Appetizers were wonderful.

The food was so delicious. The guacamole and shrimp and salmon is must have!

Nice local spot. Strong drinks, tasty food. I really liked the veggies & plantains that came with my fish. Gets a little loud, but they seem to have a good crowd of loyal customers.

Excellent as always! Amazing food and wonderful service. The Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Chicken is to die for!

Very good service, relaxing ambiance, and delicious food.

We had dinner here to celebrate my bestie s birthday and the food was so delicious. This restaurant applied its own twist to traditional dishes. I had a stuffed chicken entree that still has my mouth watering for more.

Nice dinner, great food and menu selection.

Amazing food!

The food was delicious!!!

Best mahi mahi wrap Ive had. The wife had a salad with chicken which also was very good, she loved the dressing. We went back for a second visit and my wife ordered the same salad and she still is raving about it. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant has a very nice relaxed atmosphere.

We found this gem and it didnt disappoint. We had shrimp xo salad, bacon wrapped chicken, caprice salad, shrimp escargot, fish of the day, and amazing hazelnut chocolate cake. We were celebrating a birthday and the chef came and sung happy birthday too (great personal touch). We will definitely return next time were in St Thomas!

Familial! Food and bar tender was amazing!

We tried Scallops and Wahoo fish (catch of the day) at this place and both were super delicious! All the staff were nice and friendly. Highly recommend this place.

Great dinner choice

The food was amazing and the atmosphere was awesome. I would definitely recommend!

XO for lunch is such a treat! Cold AC, cold drinks, and great food!

The food here keeps me coming back for more.

Great place for dinner!

Good place and excellent food
