Banana Tree Grille is not wheelchair accessible because of the multiple levels and the bathrooms do not meet ADA standards. I would give it an excellent rating if it were accessible.

Banana Tree Grille proves that places with great views can have great food. Mrs Trainhopper (MT), Japanese Scholar Son of Trainhopper (JSST) and JSST's Friend (JSSTF) had Christmas Dinner there. Ahi Tuna, Pork Chop, Portabella and Chilean Sea Bass were fantastic. Service was 5 star. Truly the best restaurant we went to on our trip.

The diverse menu is fantastic and the evening specials set the tone for this restaurant with a great view of the harbor. The service and friendly staff make this a must on every trip to St Thomas. Good wine list as well. It is tricky to find Bluebeard's Castle and then the restaurants within.

It was quite a trek to this restaurant located at the top of blackbeard's castle, but the view makes it all worth while. The service was friendly and helpful, our waiter even tried to reposition one of the lights that was pointing directly in my friend's face (we ultimately just changed tables). We ordered the calamari and the ravoli of the day special for appetizers. Both were pretty good. For entrees, I got the Seafood Melange, which was a mix of seafood and pasta. I found my seafood to be a bit dry. A friend of mine had the Black & White Tuna with wasabi mashed potatoes, which was better than my dish. The Gameri Involtini was pretty good, and the Peachy Pecan Mahi Mahi was definitely very peachy. A little too sweet for my taste.

For desserts we ordered the banana ravioli, the godiva chocolate brownie, tiramisu, and the "award winning key lime pie." I didn't think the key lime pie was all that great. I liked the brownie the best, followed by the tiramisu. :)

Overall, thumbs up to the waiter and definitely check out the gorgeous view. I wasn't sold on my choices of the night. Next time I'll choose other things!

My husband and I have been going to St. Thomas for 12 years where we own timeshare at Bluebeard's Castle and Bluebeard's Beach Club. In our opinion, 2 of the islands finest eateries are located at the Castle, one of which is the Banana Tree Grille. (the other is Room With a View). The food at the Banana Tree is excellent and the views of Havensight and the ships sailing out of port are spectacular. The Banana Tree also runs a more casual, decent eatery at the Castle so you don't even have to leave the property (especially with the price of taxis).
