At the Westin, this luxurious restaurant features one of the island's best dining experiences, especially if you like steak and seafood. Lying on the upper level of the open-air lobby, the restaurant is named after two fictional characters who spend their time traveling the world in search of delectable recipes to add to their mouthwatering menu. The inspiration is clear. The talented chefs turn out savory dishes redolent of Caribbean sunshine and full of flavor. Specialties of the chef include mahimahi and yellowfin tuna as well as delectable crab cakes and a 2-pound lobster special.St John Restaurants: Equator Cuisine: Caribbean Hours: Days vary 6-9pm Location: In the Caneel Bay hotel, Caneel Bay Reservations required Phone: 340/776-6111 Web site: www.caneelbay.com/dine3.cfm Prices: Main courses $22-$42 Credit Cards: AE, MC, V
This restaurant lies behind the tower of an 18th-century sugar mill, where ponds with waterlilies fill former crystallization pits for hot molasses. A flight of stairs leads to a monumental circular dining room, with a wraparound veranda and sweeping views of the water and St. Thomas. In the center rises the stone column that horses and mules once circled to crush sugar-cane stalks. A giant poinciana-like Asian tree of the Albizia lebbeck species -- islanders call it "woman's tongue tree" -- grows in the middle of the restaurant. The cuisine is the most daring on the island, and for the most part, the chefs pull off their transcultural dishes. A spicy and tantalizing opener is lemon grass-and-ginger-cured salmon salad. Daily Caribbean selections are offered, such as a classic Caribbean callaloo soup, or you can opt for such fine dishes as seared Caribbean tuna, or penne pasta with shiitake mushrooms and roasted tomatoes in an herb-garlic cream sauce. There's always a dry, aged Angus steak or a grilled veal chop for the more traditional palate.St John RestaurantsSt John Restaurants: La Tapa Cuisine: International, Mediterranean Hours: Wed-Mon 5-10pm Location: Centerline Rd.

There's a tiny bar with no more than five stools, a two-tiered dining room, and lots of original paintings. (The establishment doubles as an art gallery.) Menu items are thoughtful and well conceived, and include fast-seared tuna with a Basque-inspired relish of onions, peppers, garlic, and herbs; filet poivre, a steak soaked with rum and served with a cracked-pepper sauce and mashed potatoes; and linguine with shrimp, red peppers, and leeks in peanut sauce. Live jazz is offered on Mondays.St John Restaurants continued
