Ama at Cane Bay — Restaurant in Saint Croix

Absolutely freaking amazing! No, I'm not affiliated. No I'm not from the island. Nor do I know anyone who works here or supplies here or anything else that would count as affiliated. This place is so much more than just one of the best meals I have ever had, it was a dining experience. The views. The sounds. The service. The staff. The presentation. The flavor profiles. The cooking. The menu. The facilities. All some of the best I have ever experienced. We are foodies. We try local venues everywhere we go, from local delis to fine dining. I'm truly shocked this venue isn't rated higher. I honestly think some people are just unpleaseable. There is no other reason.

We sampled the entire menu from shareables to dessert. We both got something different and tried each others. Everything was incredible. The menu is robust. The flavor profiles are perfectly paired. The service is impeccable and the staff is truly kind, attentive, and thoughtful. There isn't a seat in the house that doesn't have an ocean view.

Our meals were some of the best we have ever had. Easily in our top three. The veal reduction sauce was perfect. The steak was cooked to perfection with a perfect sear/rub. The lamb was not only presented beautifully and done in an incredible glaze, but cooked so well that we were shocked. The shareables and appetizers... honestly I could have just eaten those for dinner they were so dang good. The dessert was wildly delicious. The pie crust on my peanut butter mousse pie was perfect, not wet or soggy. The Pina colada upside down cake has the perfect bite of coconut to add a crisp, clean flavor and not too much glaze so that it would make the cake soggy. Really impressed

I could go on about the ambiance and views for hours. So romantic. So classy. The bathroom facilities are clean and spacious (his and hers private solo stalls). Parking is available across the street and out front of the building. Check sunset times and come a half hour earlier. We booked for when they open at 5 and had a beautiful show from mother nature to go with our dinner. Complimented by the waves of the ocean crashing on the piteresque rocks below. We had crab dip and drinks as the sun set behind a mountain and the tide came in feet for us. It was epic.

Compliments to the chef and our server who never left us wanting, made great suggestions, kept the banter up all night, and made running a room with at least 5 tops look easy. He had great timing. We did not feel rushed. Would absolutely come here again. Repeatedly. Prices are medium (not low, not high), especially considering the venue, service, and food quality. I would have expected to pay more.

PS. This place is seriously romantic. The ambiancce is incredible. Unparalleled. Anniversary, date night, special occasions, celebrating, visiting and want a nice night out,...

I cannot say enough good things about AMA. The service is so friendly and attentive and the food is to die for! Jahmani made me a refreshing mocktail that made me feel very tropical indeed even without the rum. For dinner each person in my party ordered a different meal (tuna, wahoo, chicken, ribeye, mahi cakes). Each came out looking beautiful, expertly prepared, so fresh and flavorful. I could tell a lot of love goes into preparing the food. I can’t get over how fresh and delicious the salad (local greens) was. I want to eat one every day! I’ve taken home different desserts two separate nights and savored every bite. The chocolate cake was so moist and was taken over the top with the raspberry sauce. The cheesecake was unlike any I’ve ever tasted with a luxuriously creamy texture. Brunch was excellent as well, from the NA bloody I had with just the right spice to the thin and not-too-sweet pancakes to the beautiful Hollandaise over perfectly runny eggs. The front-of-house staff has been incredible (shoutout to Conrad, Curt, Jill, Jahmani, and EJ), and the chefs even delivered our food and checked in with us throughout our meals (much love to Kevin, Rico, and Danny!). The setting for the restaurant may be the most beautiful in the world. The house music is tasteful and fun. Thanks for adding so much to my...
