We love Nautilus 340. We love sitting by the edge of the deck and listening to the water washing over the rocks below. The water is slightly illuminated so very pretty. The service is always excellent, and the food top notch.

About the restaurant

Casual beach-side dining. Start your day with breakfast, enjoying a mimosa, while overlooking the tranquil bay of Secret Harbour. For a break from the sun, stop by the bar for a frozen drink, ice cold beer or specialty cocktail. Hungry? Come by lunch or dinner for a specialty pizza, Sunset burger, Gourmet sandwich or fresh salad. From 5pm-Close try our whole snapper, rosemary lemon chicken, Mediterranean steak or vegetable primavera. Friday is BBQ rib night. Happy hour is 4pm-6pm daily. As our name implies, we have an beautiful sunset. We look forward to seeing you soon.

About the restaurant

Overlooking the aqua colors of the Caribbean Sea, our restaurant is regarded as the island’s most iconic location for dining. We feature a fully open-air dining room. Most tables offer unobstructed views of the Baye de GriGri, spectacular breathtaking sunsets, dramatic full moons rising, passing sailboats and landing seaplanes.

Unsurprisingly, seafood dominates our menu. Whenever possible we source fresh, local seafood caught off the shores of the Virgin Islands.

We hope our passion for sustainability is evident in the highest quality and freshest ingredients we use, including seasonal produce from local farmers.

Our extensive wine list was chosen to balance refinement with versatility and intended to pair well with every item on our menu.

Our Bistro offers a fun, lively atmosphere designed with a come-as-you-are feeling.

We combine culinary excellence with superb service, exquisite setting and creating experiences.

About the restaurant

Located oceanfront on the first floor at the Autograph Buoy Haus Resort, St. Thomas, adjacent to the Westin at Frenchmans Reef. SandBar is the sister eatery to upscale Isla Blue Restaurant located upstairs and requires separate reservations.
Escape to SandBar, where the flavors of Spain cascade against a backdrop of beauty. Just steps away from Morningstar Bay, this hidden gem boasts fresh shellfish, tapas, Spanish pizzettes, and paella.
Sip Sangria de Fresa around the bar at our oceanfront sanctuary. Savor Langoustine Paella family-style in the fireside lounge beneath a canopy of twinkling stars. Vibe in the beach club scene where the day unfolds in a melodic cadence of bubbles and bottles. When Golden Hour casts its spell, reserve your table to bask in its enchanting glow. As the sun sets in a fiery blaze, let fresh Spanish beats wash over you, a soundtrack to an evening of pure flavors and uncompromised chill. SIP. SAVOR. SCENE. ™️
