Best Date Night Restaurants in St. Thomas (VI)

Josephine's is becoming one of our favorite spots in Old Town Alexandria. Great service. We usually sit at the bar and the bartenders are the best. The restaurant itself is gorgeous with plenty of quiet spots for conversation. Food is great. The menu is small, which means the food will be better quality. We went for Thanksgiving and could get the traditional meal or go with our favorites.

Arrived early for our reservation so we enjoyed cocktails at the bar first, then were taken to our table. Nev took very good care of us. The lobster special was divine!! Can't wait to come back and enjoy views of the river.

The restaurant is busy which is good. Our table was too close to another table and the person seated near the “aisle’ continually had her chair kicked by staff and patrons trying to get between her and the person behind her. That does not make for a pleasant dining experience. The noise level was very high so everyone had to raise their voices to be heard. Having music playing at that time was pointless and added to the noise level. I had a side salad which was boring as not much on it but lettuce and a few cucumbers. The blue cheese dressing was bland as well with few chucks of cheese. The fish tacos were good with a generous portion of fish. My husband had the lasagna which was good and a generous portion. The server may have checked on us once and we had to ask to have our water glasses filled.

Amazing find! Food was awesome and the service was top notch.

La Vela is always a winner in our book. Indoors, outdoors, or sitting at the bar are all different, but equally satisfying experience. Don't miss this hidden gem on Solomon's Island!!
