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.

The cuisine focuses on fresh ingredients with dishes such as tempting Mini Thai Crab Cakes, Dragon Shrimp Tempura, Black & White Sesame Dusted Salmon, Duck Chi-jitas, Sake Glazed Filet, and Buddha’s Zen Cheesecake. Indulge in LOTUS’ cutting-edge sushi creations with house favorites Pink Lady
(Spicy Blue Crab / Spicy Tuna / jicama / crispy pickled ginger / pink soy paper / entire roll tempura / Malaysian chile sauce / low carb (no rice) / owners’ favorite) or Royale w/ Cheese (Tender Filet Mignon / tomato / manchego cheese / baby greens / soy paper / crispy tobacco onion / Japanese mustard coulis.)

The creative drinks, wine and sake selections complement the innovative cuisine. While HAVANA BLUE is famous for Mojitos, LOTUS is mixing up Sexy Sakejitos. The “Den of Zen” is a separate dining room, which can be rented for private events, with sliding Japanese walls to open or close as needed. Journey into Blue Shore Grill’s multi sensory vision of Asian cuisine combined with waterfront chic visuals, vibes, aromas, and experiential ambiance.

December 2007, Eric and Nicole launched their first casual, island “party bar” called “FatBoys Bar, Grill & Games”. A fun surf’s up atmosphere greets guests as they relax and sip an array of frozen drink concoctions like Painkillas, Bushwhacker, and Mojitos. FatBoys’ has quickly become famous for Mako Shark Bites, Fish Tacos, and their signature fresh ground daily Big Kahuna Burger. FatBoys also features St. Thomas’ one and only “Shark Deck” which overlooks Red Hook with views to St. John. Guests enjoy playing pool, slots, & sipping on one of FatBoys’ infamous happy hour specials.

Look for Blue Shore Grill to continue expanding their brands throughout the Caribbean taking experiential dining concepts to unprecedented heights. Together, HAVANA BLUE, LOTUS, and FatBoys will reinforce the Blue Shore Grill signature motto: “You only live once, but if you dine well, once is
all you need.”®
