Oceana Restaurant & Wine Bar Events
Romantic outside dining with the ocean waves practically at your feet. Oceana restaurant and wine bar is surrounded by lush greenery, specializes in seafood such as caramelized salmon fillet with a soy-spiced marinade. Meat entrees are equally tempting - grilled filet mignon stuffed with brie and served with bacon and walnut confit is delicious. Desserts are to die for, especially the warm banana white chocolate bread pudding with rum crème anglaise.
Property History - Villa Olga
In 1894, the Russian Consul - Theodor Brondsted, bought the property, including the Villa, many acres under sugar cultivation, and the cisterns for $12,000. He renamed the estate - Villa Olga, and it was used as the Russian Embassy for the next nine years.
The main house is thought to date from the 1850's, but there is evidence of foundations dating to the early 18th century.
It has thick rubble walls to withstand hurricanes and earthquakes.
The doors and windows have wooden hurricane shutters and are trimmed with brick brought over from Scotland as ballast.
Decorative tile work on the staircase entrance dates to the 1900’s. The surrounding galleries are a typical West Indian architectural feature used to shade the house from tropical sun, and catch the tradewinds.
The house was badly damaged by Hurricane Marilyn
in1995, and has been lovingly restored and renovated.
It opened as Oceana Restaurant & Wine Bar in 2002
The property where Oceana stands has a long and varied history.
The estate was originally settled by the first Danish Governor of St. Thomas, Jurgen Iversen, between 1672 &1679.
