Ocean View Terrace

Dine Beside History: Ocean View Terrace

For a dining experience steeped in old-world charm and sweeping island vistas, look no further than Ocean View Terrace. Beautifully situated in the historic courtyard of the Government’s Guest House in upper Oranjestad, this beloved local restaurant treats guests to an exceptional vantage point directly overlooking the stone walls of Fort Oranje and the endless blue horizon of the Caribbean Sea.

True to its name, Ocean View Terrace is widely celebrated for offering some of the most spectacular, unobstructed sunset views on the island. The upper covered outdoor dining area provides the perfect breezy backdrop for a relaxed Caribbean evening, making it a favorite destination for couples, families, and solo travelers alike.

The menu at Ocean View Terrace offers a wonderful, value-forward mix of international comfort foods and authentic local dishes carefully crafted to satisfy every palate.

Managed with genuine heart by owner Lauris Redan, the terrace is known just as much for its friendly, welcoming atmosphere as it is for its food. It is a place where you are encouraged to take your time, savor the sea breeze, and truly embrace the unhurried pace of the island.

If you are looking to immerse yourself in the local community spirit, plan your visit for a Friday night, when the lower section of the terrace transforms into a lively hub for the restaurant's weekly karaoke party. Whether you come for the peaceful sunset dinner or the vibrant weekend energy, Ocean View Terrace promises a memorable taste of Statia's hospitality.
