Everything, from the walk from the car, around the water feature, up to the front door and stepping inside. Just a fabulous way to start the evening. We didn't have reservation (although I would recommend) but we got lucky. The service was very attentive without being overbearing. We started off with the Orchid salad and some round things that were... More

Another wonderful dinner at the Blue Orchid -- delicious food, great service, terrific wine list (including fine selections by the glass -- thanks, Tom!), and lovely ambience. Oh, and don't miss the beautiful gardens -- lots of varieties of heliconias, ginger, bromeliads and other plants. A find for everyone, residents and visitors alike.

This restaurant serves fabulous food and the view looking north over the Atlantic Ocean is stunning. Great service and we suggest you arrive early and spend time on their nature trails which are fabulous.

You would think after living on St Thomas for nearly 5 years we would have gotten around to visiting the Greenhouse but we missed out. They wisely added and the Blue Orchid restaurant and the place keep coming up in conversations ‘round island. Of course we did come to our senses and although we thought we’d swing in for a... More

As a local who lives on the northside of the island, finally decided to try the Blue Orchid. Very unimpressed and disappointed. Began our meal with the crab and avocado stack appetizer. Great presentation and not bad overall however the crab and (especially) the avocado lack in flavor and were over powered by bell pepper-crouton layer. At server's reccomedation I... More

The Blue Orchid had come highly recommended by a local friend. After reading the advertisements for the spectacular sunset view and bar opening at 4:00 p.m. with happy hour specials, we headed there after a day at Magens with the intention of having drinks and heavy appetizers. We were all appropriately dressed. After wandering around the lovely gardens and obervation... More

Hold on to your seat. The drive up is quite exhilarating. An incredible view awaits you when you arrive. The interior gives a very warm and home like feel. You will feel like you are a member of a very special club. Judging from the quality of our entrees, you will not be disappointed. I started with the chick pea... More
