The Old Stone Farmhouse in St. Thomas is one of the island’s most distinctive and refined dining destinations, offering an experience that blends history, atmosphere, and thoughtfully crafted cuisine. Set in a lush, wooded valley, the restaurant is housed in a beautifully restored 200-year-old field house, surrounded by the quiet countryside of St. Thomas. From the moment you arrive, the setting feels intimate and transportive.

The building’s character is unmistakable, highlighted by native stone walls, original hardwood floors, graceful brick arches, and a charming, palm-lined covered courtyard that adds to the romantic, old-world ambiance.

Service was excellent—attentive without being intrusive—and the waiter was highly knowledgeable, offering thoughtful recommendations and detailed insight into the menu.
