Where to Eat on St. Thomas Room With a View

to get to the restaurant, one first enters Blackbeard’s Castle Hotel

If you’re planning on a trip to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, one of the most highly recommended restaurants is located on the side of the mountain with a view of the bay.  It is also part of a quaint little resort with an old castle said to be used by the Caribbean pirate, Blackbeard.  The small property is appropriately named Blackbeard’s Castle Hotel and Resort and the restaurant, “Room With A View” is inside the hotel.

A fun, retro designed menu that opens up to an extension menu, primarily seafood based options.  The menu doesn’t change due to popularity of the each entree, although the server did note two specials for the evening.

beautiful dining room, despite looking formal, it was quite cozy and informal

Pristine white linens may give the first impression of a stuffy formal place, but the atmosphere was lively and filled with laughter and conversation among delighted guests.  Every table was full within minutes of opening the doors.

grilled salmon with creamy tarragon sauce

One of the restaurant’s favorite fish entrees was this salmon (above).  I wish I could get my hands on this recipe, it was just perfect and was a wonderful size for the money.

mango cheesecake

Mangos shine again in the dessert menu and it’s not every day that I can find mango cheesecake, so this was a no-brainer.  Again, just excellent!

“Millionaire’s Coffee” — an after dinner coffee with 5 liquors

Ending the evening, we enjoyed coffee prepared in a way that I haven’t seen on any menu for decades:  Coffee with Five Liquors!  Ahhh!

I first enjoyed this coffee in California and was able to obtain the recipe.  It’s very easy to make at home and great for special occasions and dinners with family and friends.

Enjoy!
