Pricey - but worth it - one of the best restaurants on the Island - reservations recommended. This is located in a cute, not well known section called French town on St Thomas - the view is incredible. The building its located in is historic and very old! Once was the Russian Embassy when the Danes were here.

A good 30 minute drive but well worth it! You'll need to check in at the gate at Botany Bay and either walk to take the shuttle which runs in the am, at noon and around 4pm....you can either visit the infamous mermaid chair or sandy beach -- either are spectacular! Not many folks make it out here - a hidden treasure.
