Asolare 06/05/2008
Reviewers Rating: Excellent
Asolare is a lovely place for a special, leisurely meal. Make your reservation for the first seating (5:30 PM) if you want to ensure a table on the rail to see the sunset. The view is wonderful—out over Cruz Bay Harbour and the town, to the ocean beyond and St. Thomas.

Asolare has a nice cocktail menu featuring some fruit infused spirits they make in house. We enjoyed the ones we sampled very much. For food, we started by splitting an order of tempura shrimp, which came with some greens and a soy dipping sauce. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. We then shared some fried calamari, which came with more greens and a wasabi mayonnaise (Yes, two fried dishes! Hey, we were on vacation.). For our main course, we had some seared local tuna with soy reduction and a napa cabbage slaw. The tuna was perfectly cooked rare as requested.

They do a very nice job with service at Asolare, pacing the courses so that you don’t feel rushed, and they are good with their wines too, in terms of temperature. Recommended for an adults evening out.
