3 Palms Restaurant in Saint Thomas

Best meal in st. Thomas

Amazing experience, one of the best on the island. Hands down the best in red hook ! Would recommend 100%

On our honey moon vacation we stopped here for dinner and I must say the steak was so delicious and cooked to perfection. My wife had the jerk chicken and she loved it so much seasoning and flavors.

Great service. Food is fresh and delicious

My partner and I celebrated our anniversary at 3 palms and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had an excellent experience! The food was amazing, I d definitely recommend the lobster dumplings!

We loved the lobster dumplings and Mahi! Madison was a wonderful server.

Mahi Ponchartrain was amazing. Don t skip on the lobster dumplings. Super cool little spot.

My absolute favorite place for a high quality, beautiful dinner on the island! Everything phenomenal.

The food was great and the service was friendly and professional. The drinks were also delicious. Parking is limited. Seating is limited during bad weather (which is true for many restaurants we visited in USVI).

Lobster dumplings are amazing! Wife and I liked this place so much we ate dinner here twice. Very attentive service. Tried a few of their crate drinks and they were great.

My husband and I dine at the restaurant tonight and we enjoyed everything. Lobster dumplings were definitely a hit also drinks are 10 out of 10!

One of the best St Thomas has to offer! Delicious food and cocktail menus mixed with a cozy and cool atmosphere. Friendly service will have you relaxed from the second you take a seat. Highly recommend!

Our best dinner on our St. Thomas vacation. Beautiful location and exceptional attention to detail. Chef Nick and his kitchen team prepared delicious seafood from fresh Mahi and Swordfish, to delicious and creative lobster dumplings, to the best crabcakes that Ive had outside of Maryland, to the best octopus that Ive had anywhere in the world. If youre looking for a fantastic evening out in or around Red Hook, I highly recommend 3 Palms.

- Nice small menu which was encouraging. Good views. Relatively quiet and pleasant ambiance. - The lobster dumplings were mediocre - they seemed rewarmed and were too salty. The accompanying sauce was good. Of the entrees only the mahi and lobster used any locally sourced ingredients. They were reasonably fresh and tasty, although the lobster tail was overcooked and chargrilled which overwhelmed its subtle sweet flavor. The biggest problem with the dinner was the so-called pulled butter. It was clearly NOT butter. This is the scond restaurant that I have been served lobster with something that is clearly not butter for dipping. The restaurant has butter somewhere in the back because the other sauces were buttery and delicious. -Dessert was surprisingly good. Had the panna cotta - fresh and flavorful but not too sweet. -Overall, edible and finished on a high note, but it could definitely use some improvements - if I go to a 3rd restaurant that tries to pass off some horrid vegetable oil as butter for lobster dip, I m going to walk right out.

We are a very particular family. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton and ate on property and in Red Hook. 3 Palms was definitely the best we had. The Mahi, Swordfish, lobster dumplings and the Nutella mousse were all so good! Service was fabulous. Atmosphere fantastic. Please go here. You will be glad you did

Quality all around at 3 Palms. Friendly and attentive service, the menu has a decent selection and uses high quality ingredients. I recommend the Burrata and Lobster tail. Fun and innovative cocktails plus a wine list with a wide selection.

One of the best meals I had while in St.Thomas was at 3 palms. We ordered fish, scallops, lobster dumplings, salad and a few mocktails (yay for alcohol free options!). The food was prepared perfectly with attention to detail. Everything excellent as was the service from Scott. The views from the deck overlooking the harbor arent bad either. I would absolutely add this to your list of places to dine while on the island.

The best dining experience on St. Thomas. Top notch service, fresh and delicious food and very reasonable prices. Wine was much cheaper than other restaurants!

Exceptional food and a 5 star experience all in all. But please make a reservation for dinner or you may not get a table if you just walk in. We enjoyed the octopus as an appetizer. For the main course-the swordfish, veal chops and scallops were just cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. Desserts and drinks were fantastic too. Check this place out. You won t be disappointed. Parking: There is parking in an underground garage IN FRONT of the restaurant hookd USVI

Best veal chop I ve ever had

Unbeatable service. Best spot on the island.

Very attentive. Delicious food. Highly recommend.

The best thing about Three Palms is their attention to detail, for example, the bartender remade the cocktails with the little adjustments we requested, and the waiter (Scott) refilled our charcuterie appetizer with toast (restaurants never provide enough at). The restaurant is also a nice quiet change from the many cabana bars in Red Hook. Food is well made with little unexpected tastes that adds a nuance of interest. The menu is not cheap, but portions are large, so the food is a decent value. Primary focus is seafood, so options for landlubbers is a bit limited. Our n experience was topnotch in every way. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Scott and Alex nailed it. Great food, great drinks, perfect evening.

The food was pricey but good. We order the snapper with lump crab, steak, brussels sprouts, bok choy, and every dessert on their menu. Not a bad place to eat after taking a charter out of Red Hook.

The food was so so and definitely over priced.

I had hard time to find a good restaurant in St Thomas, most of them looks like sports bar, with more focus on the size of the serving than the quality and taste. The 3 Palms is an exception, the food is exquisite. the attention is nice and the terrace is a quiet place in a noise area. my only suggestion: Id reduce a little some lights, or turn them amber. This restaurant is highly recommended

Great dinner spot, celebrated a birthday there and the staff was friendly and efficient. The food was great and so where the drinks. Natalie was helpful and Elgin provided great service. We had fish and also meat - both options were great. Strongly recommend.

We go every few months and have never been disappointed. One caveat is do not order the coffee. Just dont.

Food here was delicious.

A really lovely small restaurant with outdoor seating on the water. The food and drinks were amazing. Really enjoyed the Mahi Pontchartrain, lobster dumplings, and brussel sprouts. Nice selection of drinks. Only issue was it took a while to get our drinks and food orders in. We were a large group and I think it slowed down the service. Our waiter was great and we loved the setting. Just overall a really relaxing dinner.

We ate at 3 Palms tonight. Scott was our server. He did well. Had the lobster dumplings for starters, good flavor, would have liked it a little warmer, biscuits were good. Then we had the Mahi and scallops. My husband thought the mahi was the best he has eaten on St Thomas. I had the scallops, would have liked a little more sear on them, but they were good. Dessert was the Key lime torte its a little runny, flavor was good, I had the Panacotta, it was delightful!! Very refreshing. Overall, good experience.

Great spot! Service was on point. Food was fresh and yummy! Definitely will visit again when we re back!

Order fish, and you only get a small portion of the fish. Order lobster, cant find the lobster, they say its in the sauce. Then all of this will cost $60. Not worth it. The biscuits you get with your appetizer, (two) size 1 inch by 1 inch. Again...not worth your time. Not worth the money. I would give this place a negative review if I could!

Do not eat here! It is overly priced and the portions are so small. $60 for a piece of fish the size of a mans wallet. I mean Come on! I know they need to make money. But they dont need to make it all off one customer. Negative review

Horrible service food was stale

The food was good but it was incredibly expensive. The weight staff was great and they even brought a very cool flower to our table that bloomed moments later.

Octopus appetizer $25 about 3 inches with no substance. $65 for a small filet. Overpriced. Waiter was nice. The Person up front acknowledged the octopus size is an issue and was on her list to discuss with the kitchen. Nice atmosphere but the portions are undersized and the prices are too high for an average meal at best. Not going Back. Stay away. 2 adults and 2 kids $300 left still hungry and picked up food to eat when I got home. Understandable why place was empty on Saturday night.

First time in St. Thomas & this place kept coming up! Many people recommended it despite never having been & it was in a magazine they handed us at the airport. The pictures looked incredible!! It must have been a sign or so I thought. The drinks were freaking phenomenal. Our bartender/ waitress was so friendly! Her drinks were the perfect mix every time. I forgot her name, Samantha could it have been? I m so sorry to forget as she definitely left an impression! She was great conversation, very informative, and overall awesome. 10/10 five stars for the rockstar she was. The menu is BEYOND OVERPRICED for the quality of food We are visiting from Manhattan, NYC. We know food, and have experience with spending way too much on food. But if it s good, it s good! We chose the octopus and a burrata for starters. The octopus was cooked well, especially given the fact that octopus is difficult to cook and can easily turn into a piece of tough rubber. The only issue is that it wasn t seasoned well. 9/10 for taste. Possibly worth the price tag. The Burrata was over a few leaves of arugula and half-cut cherry tomatoes in a light vinaigrette. You could have added more greens. Possibly a drizzle of balsamic? The few cherry tomatoes were perfectly crisp and sweet! The Burrata though was HARD! When you cut into a Burrata it s like the molten lava cake of cheese. It is supposed to ooze out deliciousness. Not this one. I could have thrown it at my husband who ate most of it anyway because we don t waste food! And he s right! but please make sure your food is fresh Huge disappointment. For entrees we had the swordfish which looked yummy, but VERY TINY PORTION. 8/10 bc it was not seasoned, but the fish itself seemed fresh, despite being the smallest portion of food in the bowl. We also opted for the Ravioli special which was apparently made in-house. That sounded awesome!! They were said to have had short rib in the center. Sounded even better. We were served TWO RAVIOLIS. TWO. Each with two tiny squares in the middle of the pasta. Nothing else, just two short rib squares in each of the two raviolis. Usually ravioli comes with a filling i mean that s what a ravioli is a little pocket of yum? These were not filled other than the two tiny squares of cut short rib. The sauce was a red wine reduction I believe? It was okay as far as flavor but could have been thickened a bit- very liquid like. 0/10 because who serves 2 ravioli? Even at the $$expensive$$ restaurants in Manhattan we have never been served two ravioli. We have traveled throughout Europe and not once were we served TWO, BASICALLY EMPTY ravioli. I am 2nd generation italian-American and Nonna is shaking her head at me for eating these empty Ravioli . Our $200 bill left us still hungry. Management needs to do a little revision. Please!!! I hate to be negative but I hope this serves as helpful and constructive. The potential is amazing and I am sure everyone who recommended this place to us without actually having been, would most likely go if the quality of food made sense with the heavy price tag attached. (I would love to come back and update this review!)

The food here was absolutely delicious. It was the best I had in St. Thomas. The crawfish etouffee was a highlight. Friendly staff and great atmosphere as well.

The staff was very friendly and the bartender was amazing. He made us some fresh lemonade that was out of this world!

So far, the best experience in Red Hook! Delicious food and super delicious cocktail on tap. Perfect sunset view from the pier. We will return.

Horrible service. Very rude bar tender!

Great food and servicing

Great food and a nice outdoor upstairs patio in AYH to eat. Top Spot in Red Hook.

Good food and cocktail. Love the lobster dumplings!

Excellent food, great atmosphere. One of the finest dining experiences Ive ever had in St Thomas. Will definitely go back here again.

Lobster dumplings and the veal weiner snitchel were very good nice view and friendly staff

Fantastic cuisine and great service . Definitely coming back

Great food. Great drinks. Great service. Great place to relax and enjoy.

Wandered over on a weekend for solo dinner. Didn t see a clear sign but it s the upper floor of the marked building (climb the adjacent stairs and take the walkway). Seems like a much classier establishment than the surrounding. Had a delicious cocktail and food (highly recommend the lobster ravioli). Staff were friendly with good conversation. I d definitely recommend visiting here if you re staying on the east side of the island.

Good food slow service

Great food excellent service.

Food was quite underwhelming and our server, Susan was very inattentive.

The food was bland and the restaurant was not easy to find. Susan seemed to be having an off night and did not come to our table at all

Cocktails were okay, but the food wasn t good and it was cold. It was so hard to find as well and the service was poor

Delicious food and amazing cocktails and service!

Great food even greater service!

High quality, good service especially considering service overall on the island, less one star for the menu price vs receivables.

Amazing. Make it a point to eat at 3Palms!

By far the worst restaurant I have eaten at on the island. Absolutely terrible service and food was not cooked fully.

Great food. Looking for high end fancy ok the East End this is the place.

The lobster dumplings and octopus were amazing and the view of the marina provided a nice ambiance. My wife and I enjoyed dinner and the environment. Would highly recommend, the service was great and timely.

We stopped in for a late dinner and the staff were so kind and seated is immediately. We were outside on the deck on a beautiful night. Food was delicious! I like that we werent on the main street of Red Hook, but instead on the water so we didnt have to watch all the drunk people walking about at night. Much of downtown Red Hook reminded me of my college days in Cancun, not my thing anymore, but the restaurant was terrific!

My favorite food on the island! Love the amazing cocktails! Will definitely be back.

Great service, yummy food!

Service horrible! Food is bland!!

Not overly impressed. Steak was okay. Had a gravy on top comparable to a truck stop diner. Brussel sprouts were tasty

Fantastic spot with amazing dishes. The outdoor patio is great. Service was amazing. Would recommend the crawfish risotto and scallops.

Scallops and crawfish etouffee were excellent, as was the cocktail with dried strawberries. The strawberry shortcake was very yummy. Views were very nice. Very pricey though for the food. Entrees were about $30, which dont include sides, which are another $8. Appetizers (small plates) are about $15. Menu changes daily. Great service.

Had the pork chop. Exceptional. The rum old fashion is amazing too. Absolutely my favorite high-end dining experience on the east-end of St. Thomas

The view and decor is fantastic. The presentation of the food is inviting. I ordered the red snapper. It had no taste along with accompanied rice. The lobster dumplings and bread was super tiny and not worth the price. The scallops had very little flavor. The orange puree that went with the scallops was the best thing on the plate. The portions were small. After spending $150 dollars for a total two people I left feeling hungry. I stop at Lakes Chicken to get something to eat. I gave 3 stars just for the view. The food was less than one

Service, ambiance, food, & drinks were all AMAZING! New favorite place in Redhook!

Great atmosphere. Great food. Great drinks.

Incredible all around. Lobster dumplings, etouffe, shrimp apps. Yum.

Beautiful, simply beautiful place a certain elegance I really enjoyed 3 Palms its definitely a entire vibe.

Nice menu. Nice place. Like anywhere on the island its pricey. The kitchen seems a little more adventurous than most here, but I keep being surprised that EVERYWHERE serves basically a cruise ship menu. Theres no agriculture here, and must not be a fishing industry either. Its like eating in the Rockies or the desert or ...well, a cruise ship. All is from elsewhere. Im NOT slamming this particular place, or even cruise ships. Just understand that salmon, vegetables and veal are not local....

Interesting food, the place was packed.

Fine dining in Red Hook? What? Thank God for you! Amazing! Get the lobster raviolis as a appetizer, you will not be disappointed!

We went to this restaurant on our honeymoon last week. When I tell you that the food was incredibly bad this would be an understatement. The only was the food bad but the service was incredibly worse. If that wasn t bad enough the owner was so rude. He has no business owning anything especially a restaurant. Signed stay away stay far away

Food is really good but pricey

The swordfish was good

The staff over at the Ritz suggested this spot and thanks to them I had a good dinner and good drinks.

My favorite restaurant on St. Thomas! We hosted our rehearsal dinner at 3 Palms and have eaten here a handful of times and I still cant wait to go back. The food is incredible and whether youre seated inside or out, the atmosphere is great.

Fantastic food and the best biscuits you could ask for! I prefer the patio seating in the evenings. A great selection of wines as well. Elgin is the best server you could get here, ASK FOR ELGIN

One of the best dining experiences in St Thomas

Located in Redhook, this restaurant has a great mixed drinks, large wine selection, and the food is excellent. Indoor and outdoor seating.

After calling several places for a reservation with no success, we finally checked Opentable and found 3 Palms. The restaurant is recently opened so there wasnt much info on it the way of reviews, but we decided to give it a chance. We were very glad we did. We called in advance as we were eating with our 4 year old son who doesnt always like everything. They accommodated him very well with some plain pasta and sauce and even sent him a complimentary dessert (chocolate pie that he loved). We ordered the octopus starter which was perfectly cooked with great coulis accompaniments. For mains, we ordered the shrimp etouffee and the veal schnitzel - both were excellent. The drinks were very well done - a lavender take on a gin and tonic and the banana take on an old fashioned. Both excellent and worth the visit. Overall, I think this place will do very well. Service and food was top notch and the restaurant itself feels comfortable without being overdone.

Over priced. Limited menu. Not for family with kids. Service is good. Find another place to eat or youll end up at a burger joint on your way home..

I spent my first week on st. Thomas and I couldn t get enough of this restaurant. Words cannot begin to describe the fresh food you get with every meal! The service was phenomenal along with the bartenders making beautiful, yet delicious cocktails. I will definitely be visiting 3 palms again!

Delicious food from beginning to end. Great atmosphere and a beautiful deck to eat outside and enjoy the water and boats Nice area to dit and enjoy their drinks which were also very good Beautiful inside an awesome bar area

So glad we finally got to try this place. Most restaurants on Saint Thomas leave much to be desired, but this is not one of those restaurants. The food was beyond amazing. I m originally from New Orleans and the food here has some cajun flair. The sauce on the lobster dumplings made me want to lick the plate! 100% will be back!

I very much enjoyed my experience dining at 3 Palms yesterday evening. I walked in as a solo diner with no reservation. Scott and Kaylen (I hope I spelled her name correctly) provided such wonderful service with friendly attitudes! I ordered the veal chop which was very tasty! I will certainly return for another meal!

Great service, enjoyed my food and my drinks were delicious. Cant forget about the awesome view.

All great, food, service, accommodations.

Loved it, friendly and courteous.....

We ended at 3 palms because we couldn t get reservations anywhere else. So we decided to try it. It was the best choice. Drinks, food and desserts were delicious! Service was great! 100% recommended if you enjoy gourmet food.

Stumbled on this cute rooftop spot while wandering around red hook. Just got drinks but the restaurant looked fun and romantic! Service was great, drinks strong, views phenomenal. Please though...warn customers before you rim their entire drink in chili powder!!!

Eating here was definitely the highlight of my trip, most of the restaurants on the island serve horrible frozen food. The octopus was amazing and the service was exceptional. The island of St. Thomas in general is over hyped and the locals are rude to tourists. This was the only restaurant on the island that served good food and catered to tourists and had wonderful service!! You must come eat here!! Or you might starve!! LOL

We ate here early June of 2020 and had a delightful dining experience. We started with cocktails, shared the roasted beet and goat cheese salad for an app, she had chickpea curry and I had the étouffée. For dessert we shared the chocolate tart. The food was delicious and I was really impressed with the flavors in the étouffée. Service was excellent and we liked being close to the water. Would definitely eat here again!

We Loved everything about this place! Amazing Food & drinks and friendly service. We are from NY and never expected this type of food on our trip to St Thomas. I had the surf and turf and my husband had the Grouper. Our waitress was Crystal and bus girl was Kaylin and we adored them both! It rained during dinner and as we shuffled in, everyone was so accommadating and joyful. The charming, hostess & owners checked on us regularly. We highly recommend this restaurant!

Cant think of a better restaurant. Had the ribeye and brussel sprouts. Wife had the grouper and fingerlings. Paired with drinks, ended up being ~$180. Absolutely delicious. Right on the ocean. Top two restaurants Ive been to. Highly highly recommend.

Great food, amazing staff.

Delightful and Delicious!!

We had an amazing meal with fantastic service. I would highly recommend!!

Amazing food and great atmosphere.

So good! Quick service for our brunch. Drinks and food were outstanding! Nice location as well. A perfect goodbye USVI place for us to have a last meal before returning back to the states.

Food was delicious. Drinks were great. Waitress Alex was so friendly. Love this place. #awsomesauce

Great place in Red Hook. Food and dessert and drinks were outstanding. Service was excellent we sat on the patio could see out over the water I would go back there again and again.

It was delicious with a friendly staff! Slightly overpriced for what you got, but still worth it for a special time in St. Thomas! The drinks were delicious and refreshing and the food was great.

Very disappointed as prior reviewed raved about this restaurant. Very limited menu that changes daily. You really can t see the water and the furniture is hard plastic. Took about 10-15 minutes to even ask if we wanted a drink. Then the food came out very quickly. We both had the grouper, which was thin, hard on the outside and dried out. Plus, they were cold. I think they must have held our entrees until we finished our appetizers as they came out immediately. I could only eat half and requested it be wrapped. The server brought a small plastic container and put the food in it on the table. I had to even ask for at least a bag to put it in. Given that our dinner was $200, I would at least thought they could take the plate away and do it there. Compared to Oceana, where we ate the night before and was so amazing,, this was a true disappointment.

The worse restaurant on island. It started with my glass of wine was watered down. The waitstaff was rude and argumentative. Our entree arrived 1.5 hours later. We walked out and will never go back there again!

Suburb meal! Vela Chop Weiner Schnitzel

Brunch was super busy. Long wait to be served. Good food, though.

eat before you reach! zero stars

Flip flop fine dining and drinks in a beautiful location. Definitely some of the best food we had our trip around the islands. Will be coming back.

Very expensive... Food was just ok... Nice place... But not sure if I would go back.

The food was awesome and far better than we found elsewhere in the island. Scott was an awesome server. Great recommendations and even walked us to our cab.

Sunset dinner was absolutely delicious with an amazing view of the marina! Scott was our server and took great care of us, especially with having two kids in the party. Lobster dumpling starter was a mouthwatering experience with the most amazing sauce Ive had in such a long time. All fish orders were delicious! The lavender lemonade cocktail was fabulous (even as a mocktail) and the Mango Tequila cocktail had a beautiful sugary rim. 5/5 would recommend this new restaurant!

Romantic, upscale restaurant in the middle of the bustling Redhook District. We had to park in the shopping center on top of the hill, then walk down as parking was limited. Reservations are a must. We had the snapper and the grouper. Both dishes were flavorful and cooked to perfection. The brussel sprouts were like dessert. Elgin, our host took very good care of us, even offered us a nightcap as a anniversary celebration.

We went there on a recommendation from one of the staff at the Ritz-Carlton. Scott our waiter was outstanding. The dinner and drinks were by far the best we experienced on St. Thomas for our stay to date. Any questions ask Scott; his take on everything was spot on. The menu was limited; however the food was exceptional.

Scott was beyond exceptional server! And the food was way beyond the best we have had on the island during our stay. We went to all the recommended places, but this restaurant crushed them all. The best+++
