Craig & Sally's
SEAFOOD This Caribbean cafe is set in an airy, open-sided
pavilion in Frenchtown. Its eclectic cuisine is, according to the owner, “not for the
faint of heart, but for the adventurous soul.” Views of the sky and sea are comple-
mented by a cuisine that ranges from pasta to seafood, with influences from Europe
and Asia. Roast pork with clams, filet mignon with macadamia-nut sauce, and grilled
swordfish with a sauce of fresh herbs and tomatoes are examples from a menu that
changes every day. The lobster-stuffed twice-baked potatoes are inspired. The wine
list is the most extensive and sophisticated on St. Thomas.

Hook, Line & Sinker
AMERICAN Locals and visitors alike flock here for the
friendly service, good food at reasonable prices, and a panoramic view of the harbor.
The setting evokes a New England seaport village; the building has a pitched roof and
skylights, along with wraparound French doors and windows. A
Cheers
-like crowd
frequents the bar. Breakfast, except for Sunday brunch, is standard. Lunch choices
range from a Caesar salad to various grilled chicken dishes. The dinner menu is usu-
ally a delight, featuring delicious dishes such as mango-rum tuna, jerk swordfish, and
snapper stuffed with mushrooms and red peppers and covered in a garlic sauce.
Locals call the hearty soups “outrageous.”

der. Choose from ham, turkey, or corned beef for your Reuben, grilled with Tickles'
