Hervé Restaurant & Wine Bar

Description:

• A panoramic view of Charlotte Amalie and a historic setting are side benefits -- it's the cuisine that matters. Hervé Paul Chassin is a restaurateur with a vast classical background. In an unpretentious setting, he offers high-quality food at reasonable prices. There are two dining areas: a large open-air terrace and a more intimate wine room. Start with the pistachio-encrusted brie, shrimp in a stuffed crab shell, or conch fritters with mango chutney. For a main course, try the house special bouillabaisse, or a delectable black-sesame-crusted tuna with a ginger/raspberry sauce. There are also nightly specials of game, fish, and pasta. Desserts are divine -- you'll rarely taste a creamier crème caramel or a lighter, fluffier mango or raspberry cheesecake.
