Amazing food, friendly staff, and a laid-back vibe that still delivers a high-end experience. The wine selection is impressively large and well curated.

I had the ribeye with mushrooms and a sweet vinaigrette—perfectly cooked and full of flavor—paired with creamy mashed potatoes and fresh broccoli . Everything was spot on.

Great spot for a relaxed but elevated night out. $$

The Twisted Cork is the best restaurant in St Thomas by far and we did our New Years Eve dinner here and it was incredible. The menu is small so every single item on the menu is thoughtful and enticing. The cuisine is a mix of Carribean, Italian, and New American. The octopus salad and Parmesan pork shoulder that I had were delicious but the Sicilian stew was out of this world. A couple members of our party are gluten free and the chef was very accommodating. The wine selection was great as well. If you want good food while in St Thomas, go to Twisted Cork!!

We were there on Christmas Eve 2025 and had a most delightful and delicious meal! The seafood was absolutely fantastic, and the staff was extremely friendly. The service was excellent, and the interior and ambiance were absolutely lovely and comfortable. The price was extremely reasonable, considering the excellent quality of food and service. This was BY FAR our BEST meal during our stay on St. Thomas!!! Thank you Twisted Cork, for a very memorable experience! :-))

Stopped in randomly for a quick lunch and wine. Wine and staff was great. Very welcoming and gave tons of recommendations for the island. I got the pasta with Alfredo it could’ve used a little more salt and flavor but I did eat it all. My husband got the fish and sweet potato fries. They were the best sweet potato fries we’ve ever had lol we talked about them the whole trip

All around excellent experience.

Had the blackened Lionfish tacos and a ribeye steak.

Perfectly seasoned, a tiny bit of bite to the blackening.
Lionfish was tender, cooked just right.

Dinner special was a ribeye steak with pizzaioli sauce. This was supposed to be a 14oz ribeye, but mine was at LEAST 24oz, cooked rare, exactly how I ordered it.
Excellent cut of steak with nice marbling, well seasoned and topped with garlicky pizzaioli sauce with nicely roasted tomatoes, green and red peppers.

Will definitely go there again when I’m on St Thomas again

What a fantastic dining experience from start to finish.

The appetizer selection is excellent.

Some app standouts included the Parmesan-stuffed mushrooms, calamari and the must-order buffalo shrimp. If you can get the octopus in any of their dishes, you should try it.

For entrées, the seasoned salmon with creamy risotto and the Parmesan-crusted pork chop were both outstanding and cooked to perfection. You can truly taste the passion in every dish and the dishes are full.

You get quality of fine dining without worrying if you’re going to get enough because the entrées are big.

Try to leave room for dessert. Everyone in our party had at least one of the different options.

Jason, the chef, clearly puts his heart into the food and doesn’t want anyone leaving hungry.

The staff do a great job of being very attentive to make sure your drink is full. They want you to have what you need while also giving you space to enjoy your meal.

The wine list is robust and dietary needs (including gluten-free) are handled thoughtfully. Ask your server and they’ll be able to walk you through their options or consult with the chef.

There seems to be something for everyone here and the specials are always worth considering.

If you’re on the fence, don’t be. We loved it so much we came back again.

This place is great for big groups like ours (11 people total).

When we have mentioned Twisted Cork to locals in St. Thomas, they have recommended it as a place they dine themselves.

Such a wonderful dining experience!
I called to make a last minute reservation for my husband and I.
Once notified it was our honeymoon, our lovely server Abby had a handwritten sign on our table waiting for us.
During our meal the chef Jason walked over to ask how things were and gave us some insight on local food.
Their food however… was amazing!!!
We had a salad as our starter (forgot the name but it has cashews and passion fruit dressing which was sooooo delicious!!!)
Incredible unique flavors and large portions, which were a blessing in comparison to other high quality restaurants on the island.

I got the salmon risotto and my husband got the lionfish and sweet potato fries. (The sauce was amazing!!!)

Everything was wonderful.
Next time we will be back for dessert and wine!

Thank you again for having us

We had a wonderful dinner here – the portions were massive (almost unnecessarily so), flavors and textures were incredible, and it was a wonderful way to end our trip.

Highlight for me was the salmon risotto, hands down. The salmon was cooked to perfection – still soft and practically melt in your mouth in the center. The risotto was not too overpowering. And I loved the onion crisps – the crunchiness balanced out the dish.

The food was delicious. We had the lion fish and chips and the twisted burger. We loved both. The lion fish is a firm and not fishy fish, well battered and the burger was large and flavorful. For dessert we shared the ballpark pie and it was a must order. Must visit when in Frenchtown.

Rolled into The Twisted Cork Cafe (TTCC) for dinner on our first night in St. Thomas. After a long day of travel, a small flight delay, really buffeting winds aloft… we were ready for a very relaxed, enjoyable dinner, with a good bottle of wine! We had not made a reservation for dinner due all the unforeseeable things that can happen on a long travel day. We looked for a highly rated place within walking distance of our hotel, and viola, TTCC popped up. So glad the online reviewers were on point for this place. Totally laid back place, not at all crowded on a Friday evening at dinner time… fantastic service and fare included!

TTCC is not a big place, seating in a front bar area and a more traditional dining room in the back. We were initially seated in the back dining room, but with multiple AC units pumping the room with cold air, we opted for the less chilly front room… we had that room to ourselves the entire meal! The back room got pretty crowded as the evening wore on, but TTCC was able to easily able to accommodate the walk-ins. Most of the tables have a small, but real, oil lamp on them… very cute, nice touch!

Service was great, attentive but not intrusive. In the spirit of the islands we started with a shared rum punch. We anticipated the sweetness, no surprise there, it was darn good. We figured we’d be having fresh seafood, so we opted for a Folonari Pinot Grigio, which was presented at the perfect temperature, and paired very well with the food we ordered. TTCC is more of a wine bar, the wine list, while not exhaustive, is a thoughtful collection of the primary varietals from the old and new worlds, with a nice little selection of bubbles if you want that.

First up was a nightly special, Caribbean Seafood Chowder (think cioppino in Northern CA, Phil’s Fish Market in Castroville, CA, has killer ciopinno… if you visit, you can by a T-shirt with the recipe on it, to make it at home… it’s a day’s work, but worth it!). The TTCC chowder was full of a variety of fresh seafood, a tomato-based soup with lots of fresh veggies and wonderfully spiced. TTCC has an onsite herb and vegetable garden where many of their ingredients originate! Delish chowder!

For entrees we decided to share the lionfish piccata and the fried grouper sandwich. The lionfish was firm, tender and plentiful. A very generous portion, fried to perfection, served with rice and fresh broccoli. The piccata sauce was wonderful. The grouper sandwich was equally good. Another generous portion of fish, lighted battered, fried to crispy, served on French bread with a little mayo, a few capers, thinly sliced red onion and romaine lettuce… heaven on a bun! The side of duck fat fried pomme frites was amazing! Served piping hot (as ordered) served with truffle aioli… amazing! Next up dessert!

Based on prior reviewer comments, there was only one dessert to get… ballpark pie! The huge piece of pie features all your memories from the ballpark … peanut butter mousse on a graham cracker-pretzel crust. Topped with chocolate ganache, peanuts, whipped cream, caramel and chocolate sauces and cracker jacks. What an ending to an awesome meal! Not sure we’ll have time to dine at TTC.C again during our short visit on the island, but we’d definitely go back! They’re open for lunch and dinner Mon-Thurs, closed Sat and Sun. Highly recommend The Twisted Cork Cafe.
