Epernay, Charlotte Amalie

The island's premier wine and champagne bar also conjures up a delicious and nicely-presented menu of contemporary cuisine. Start with something like the Epernay Platter, a plate of Smoked Salmon, Brie and Pate served with Crostinis, Capers and Onions. Dinner tends towards a Rib Eye Steak with Fried Shallots, Grilled Chicken and Sesame Crusted Tuna with Sticky Rice and Roasted Vegetables. Sophisticated residents and visitors gather at the bar to sample a vast selection of international wines by the glass or bottle.
