Still, at dinner in the snazzier places shorts and T-shirts are inappropriate; men would do well to wear slacks and a shirt with buttons. Dress codes on St. Thomas rarely require women to wear skirts, but you can never go wrong with something flowing.

Oceana Restaurant & Bistro

$$$$ Fodor's choice

In the old Russian consulate house at the tip of the Frenchtown peninsula, this restaurant offers superb views along with an eclectic array of dishes expertly prepared by longtime Virgin Islands chef Patricia LaCorte and her staff. Choose from the more casual bistro-style menu, which features taste-and-share charcuterie and artisanal cheese plates and entrées like flatbreads and burgers, or splurge on the more formal dinner selections like butter-poached local lobster or filet mignon. After dinner, take a five-minute stroll to nearby Frenchtown, where several bars offer live music on the weekends.

A flavor of the southern U.S. is evident on the menu, from a fried green tomato appetizer to entrées like shrimp 'n grits and a southern fish fry with cornmeal-coated catfish. This same down-home theme is served for Sunday brunch. Try biscuits and gravy, steak and eggs, or a southern Benedict with buttermilk biscuits topped with poached eggs, country ham, and hollandaise. The open-air setting offers an eye-catching view of the superyachts parked at the marina docks.
