Havana Blue

Address: Morning Star Beach, St. Thomas  | 
“Tropical serenity meets cutting-edge chic.” These descriptive words spoken by co-owner, Nicole Horstmeyer, best describe the company vision of Blue Shore Grill which owns and operates the Frenchman’s Reef & Marriott Morning Star Beach Resort’s hottest restaurant – HAVANA BLUE. Overlooking Morning Star Beach, HAVANA BLUE is by far the island’s most popular restaurant. The stunning décor features an eclectic mix of New York, South Beach and the Caribbean style to create a hip, yet approachable vibe. The restaurant’s cuisine combines authentic Cuban and Latin dishes with exotic spices and tangy sauces from the Pacific Rim. All of this, combined with the restaurant’s oceanfront location, creates a culinary experience unlike any other in the Caribbean.

HAVANA BLUE was born from the vision of husband and wife team, Eric and Nicole Horstmeyer, and was their first restaurant venture launched in November 2004. Their company, Blue Shore Grill, LLC was chosen because of the creative concept and the pair’s extensive business background. Nicole attributes the restaurant’s successful differentiation, in part, to her experience in New York City where she worked in the world of high stakes marketing. There she specialized in new product marketing, public relations, and the design and execution of luxury brand events. More importantly, Nicole had the opportunity to work with celebrity chefs from across the Nation. Meanwhile, Eric attended law school at New York University. He was Of Counsel with the prestigious Virgin Islands law firm of Dudley, Topper, and Feuerzeig, LLP until January, 2006, where his practice focused on real estate, tax and corporate/commercial transactions, though he will tell you himself that being a restaurateur is his newfound passion. Eric now devotes 100% of his time and effort to Blue Shore Grill.

HAVANA BLUE’s menu focuses on fresh. The Bebidas (drink) menu features an array of creative drinks made with fresh squeezed fruit juices. Guests can sip on a Mango Mojito made with locally grown organic mint and limes, or Sangria marinated with mangos, green apples and lemongrass. Dinner menu selections include Thai Coconut Ceviche, Crispy Duck Spring Rolls, Ancho Chile & Espresso Rub Filet, and the signature dish, Miso Glazed Sea Bass. Fresh fish and lobster are brought in daily by local fisherman. After dinner the cuisine is complimented by traditional Cuban desserts such as Coconut Flan and Tres Leches Yuzu Cake. There are also premium hand rolled cigars and sipping rums available to finish the night off in true Cuban style.

HAVANA BLUE continues to work on maintaining its position as the island’s top dining destination. “We want to deliver the ‘WOW’ factor for our guests and we drive this point home to our staff on a daily basis with the hope that they will never miss an opportunity to amaze our guests with the cuisine and service,” says Eric. One need only take a look around HAVANA BLUE to see that the operation is run by people who truly care about the entire dining experience. From the moment a guest walks into the restaurant, they are greeted by an awesome eight (8) foot wall of water. This along with the soft blue light which radiates from the roof of the restaurant, the cool, celestial lounge music emanating from the sound system, the floor to ceiling fabric sheers set against 20 foot open windows over the ocean, the oversized pottery containing beautiful palm trees, the ocean sounds that are pumped into the bathrooms and last but not least, the 150 square glassed hurricane candles which adorn each and every table, all serve as further proof that few if any details escape this creative group. HAVANA BLUE received the Restaurant Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator Magazine for its extensive wine list and “Reserva” wine selections.

In December, 2006, Blue Shore Grill launched its second restaurant, LOTUS. Located on the east end of St. Thomas at American Yacht Harbor in Red Hook, customers will surely take notice that the décor and creative cuisine parallel sister pan-Latin eatery HAVANA BLUE. The mantra is to “step outside the bento box” to enjoy Caribbean Pan Asian Cuisine and Fresh Local Sushi. Young couples share Asian-themed cocktails like Zen-tinis at the river rock adorned bar before sitting down at low, candlelit tables as schools of silver fish swish by on the giant video screen.

I took my family of 6 to Havana Blue last night (ages 4-12) and although I agree that the place is not really geared toward kids, the staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. There is a kids menu (which is unheard of for a place like this) and they have crayons and coloring books for kids. Havana Blue is located on the Marriott property which is very family oriented. The food and ambience at Havana Blue is incredible. This is a must try experience.

By far one of the best restaurants in the Caribbean if not anywhere. Atmosphere is just the beginning of this experience. These people deliver the full experience...flavors, service and ambience are all unparalleled. We have dined all over the world and will travel back to St. Thomas just to dine at Havana Blue. Order the Miso Sea Bass and the Surf & Turf---UNREAL!!

The atmosphere here is just the beginning of a wonderful dining experience. The food is Cuban influenced, but with a touch that only Cuba could dream of! Fantastic dishes and drinks. I'm not a Mojito fan, but make an exception when I visit here. They also have a sangria that is far better than anything I've tasted elsewhere. My only negative comment is with the hostess. Lousy attitude, unfriendly, and not the first impression a restaurant wants to make. Once you get past this witch, your evening will be truly enjoyable.

I own a condo in St. Thomas and go there 3 to 4 times a year. If there's one thing I do everytime I come back, it's dining at Havana Blue. The atmosphere and the food are superb. The food portions are always the right amount unlike the huge dishes you typically get in American restaurants. I've brought family and friends and they too love eating there. Simply put, Havana Blue is fantastic.

If your bravest hopes for a restaurant experience in paradise are affected by hip examples in Miami, "oh my gosh" spots in Malibu or Hawaii, the Med or other fashionable zip codes, Blue will NOT disappoint you. Utterly stunning space and vistas; drop-dead romantic; young, engaging staff; sexy vibes; fabulous, wonderfully creative food. We dined widely all over St. T - like all Caribbean venues, restaurants are affected by "busy-season" rhythms and sometimes, ennui - but this spot was without peer or comparison - a terrific night. Warning: take your significant other here and you'll want to propose before the cheque arrives - BLUE can do that to you.

We've eaten at the best restaurants in the World and this one would rank up there with any of them! Very inventive cuisine and perfectly balanced flavors. This definitely a dining experience to remember. We ate there on our anniversary and couldn't have been happier. Clearly the busiest restaurant on St. Thomas and for good reason. I cannot fathom how anyone could claim the food and service here are anything but divine. Will definitely go back.

Having been a loyal patron of Havana Blue since it opened in 2004, I can offer some insight on the review below which mentions the chef leaving. The Chef De Cuisine at Havana Blue is Jose "Pepe" Rodriguez. He has been there since the opening and is still there today. The Executive Chef has changed a couple of times but anyone who knows anything about the restaurant business knows that the Executive Chef isn't the one who actually cooks the food or develops the menus---the Chef De Cuisine and the Sous Chefs handle thiese duties. Chef Rodriguez has always done amazing work with the cuisine at Havana Blue and I always look forward to dining there every year I return to St. Thomas. Plus, I just heard they hired their new Executive Chef from New York and this guy actually worked for Jean Georges and acclaimed chef, Ferran Adria of E. Bulli. It doesn't get any better than that!.

The decor along with the location by the water cannot be beat! If you would like something negative, I can only think of one thing, the knives were not sharp enough. What a great experience!! We will always come back every time we visit St. Thomas. Wayne and Darlene Weatherly

recently went back to St. Thomas (we live in the BVI)and came to visit Havana Blue, again I had a wonderful meal and experience. Unfortunatly I heard that the Chef left and is now back in the states. The Chef was amazing and came out to say hi every time I came in. I took my daughters in over the summer and he made them feel like queens. Its unfortunate that he is no longer there and I hope the cuisine remains as amazing as it is. Good Luck Chef!!

The food was amazing and the service was great. We will be coming back to Havana Blue on every trip. We had the Chefs tasting menu 6 courses of truly magnificent smart fusion. The daily menu looked great as well and the mojitos are the best I have ever had. The atmosphere is chic Miami/New York and the entire staff and management team made us feel like movie stars.

I took my girlfriend to St. Thomas to propose but didn't know exactly where to do it. The event coordinator at the Elysian Hotel (Jamie) recommended a unique and special dinner on the beach at Havana Blue that provided the ideal setting for a sunset proposal. Consisting of 7 courses, a different wine for each, and served by a private server, this was by far the most amazing meal my fiance and I have ever tasted. Havana's preparation and service truly exceeded all expectations, the food was incredible and though somewhat pricey, the private dinner on the beach is a truly memorable experience that I recommend to all couples.

I couldn't agree more with Mr. Roberts. As locals we have been dying to attract a restaurant that would compete with what we are accustomed to stateside in big cities like Miami and New York. Havana Blue could compete in any market with its amazing food and efficient, friendly service. The chef really is a genius and I've yet to see another staff on island match the quality of service we get time and again at Havana Blue. We take all of our out of town guests to dine at least once at Havana Blue. I hope this restaurant stays in St. Thomas forever!

I have lived in St. Thomas for 30 years and this the premier dining experience. All of the other fine dining restaurants have similar menus and themes...caribbean fusion with decent wine lists. This group has pushed the envelope and delivers a top notch experience in both service and cuisine. Incredible atmosphere, creative menu and drinks and service that goes well above island standards. Keep up the great work.

My wife and I just ate at your restaurant last night. Everything was excellent from the staff greeting us at the door, to the bartender taking special orders for drinks, moving us to a table near the beach, etc. The soft shelled crab was the best I ever tasted-as was the calamari. We have eaten at several five star places and you topped them all. Brad Thomas Georgia

I couldn't agree more with Mr. Roberts. As locals we have been dying to attract a restaurant that would compete with what we are accustomed to stateside in big cities like Miami and New York. Havana Blue could compete in any market with its amazing food and efficient, friendly service. The chef really is a genius and I've yet to see another staff on island match the quality of service we get time and again at Havana Blue. We take all of our out of town guests to dine at least once at Havana Blue. I hope this restaurant stays in St. Thomas forever!

I have lived in St. Thomas for 30 years and this the premier dining experience. All of the other fine dining restaurants have similar menus and themes...caribbean fusion with decent wine lists. This group has pushed the envelope and delivers a top notch experience in both service and cuisine. Incredible atmosphere, creative menu and drinks and service that goes well above island standards. Keep up the great work.

Havana Blue was my selected site for my June 30, 2006 wedding reception and though I chose it "sight unseen", I was thorougly pleased with the ENTIRE experience. Excellent-EXCELLENT food (the Sea Bass is "off the chain"), attentive service, interesting and eclectic menu, sounds of the (real) ocean...just wonderful beyond words. I was really able to provide for my guests the fine dining experience I'd imagined. Everyone in attendance just went on and on about the high caliber of the food and the experience. And working w/ Events Coordinator, Winifred McLean was just as pleasant an experience. She is detail oriented, client/customer focused, professional and responsive. Kimberly Hulsey--Newlywed

I was born in Cuba, raised in Miami, and had a Caribbean/Asian fusion restaurant back before the concept existed. I've eaten at Doug Rodriguez's Yuca and other high end Caribbean restaurants and I sincerely didn't think they could pull it off in St. Thomas. They have: Havana Blue's decor is breathtaking, the food is sublime, and the balance between seriously good food and seriously snooty staff has been acheived. It's fine dining, but fine dining well suited for the lapping of the waves at Frenchman's Bay. But, to me, the real stunner it took a Puerto Rican - chef )mar Sanchez -- to pull off a sultry Havana vibe on de island. God bless those with eclectic vision and the talent to realize it.

Wonderful! My husband and I ate there 4 times out of our 6 night stay. It was truly amazing and we hated to leave. The ceviche was outstanding, as was the crab appetizer. The chef personally visited our table and tailored a dish for my husband; he can't eat spicy food. We were very impressed.

Having been one of the guests at the wedding dinner for Mr & Mrs. Lenk -- I thought the service was excellent and of course the food, as usual, was delicious. Havana Blue was first recommended to me by the executive chef of another local restaurant "you must have the Sea Bass" he said. It was, without question, the most wonderful Sea Bass I've ever had.
