Beach House St. Barth — Restaurant in Saint Barthélemy

If it's great cocktails, an extensive wine list, attentive service, and a tranquil atmosphere you're looking for, Beach House is your spot. Dinner, however, fell short.

The menu offers a variety of dishes to fit any taste, but the execution doesn't quite meet the expectations of a luxury restaurant on St. Barthélemy. For example, a truffle and fois gras risotto used truffle oil in lieu of shaved truffle, plus the fois gras was heavy and laiden with oil because it was seared in olive oil instead of butter. There was also an under-salted galette as a starter. Finally, the menus were web-based and required the use of a phone. While this is acceptable in a post-pandemic world, visitors are presented with 10 different menu links, only three of which apply to dinner, presenting a challenge for staff and guests alike.

While there's opportunity for progress in the kitchen and with the menus, almost everything else meets the 5-star standard. We'll give them time to fine-tune their approach and look forward to revisiting to see...

This place was once wonderful. We ate there on 9 Feb 2024 and the food was prison grade. The green salad was basic and plain. The French fries were an hour old and dripping with cold grease (we returned). My wife had the lobster and I had the tuna. Each was served on a gray plate with absolutely nothing else on it. No garnishments or anything - literally unappealing. We were so hungry after traveling the entire day we ate it. We’ve been coming to SB for years and never had experienced such a poor meal. The manager knew we weren’t happy but wasn’t concerned as he brought us the check for 230 euros. We won’t be back.

PS We came to the restaurant in Feb 2023 and it was good....

The New York Steak 🥩 was very flavorful and high quality tasty and a great hearty portion ! Mahi mahi 🐟 plainly grilled was soo smooth and fresh - we ordered butter sauce with it a great compliment 😋 . Service was exceptional we had about three people 😀😀😀 checking on us all the time . The setting is simply amazing with a luxury pool deck overlooking a beautiful ocean 🌊 , and the restaurant building is classy...
