The regular restaurants are still closed. No word on when they will reopen.

Why did they close? The condo association closed them. There was a dispute over payment of the restaurants utilities. That action has literally cost the resort millions of dollars.

Now there is a dispute between the condo association and the developer over the restaurants. It is or will be in court and until it is resolved no one knows what will happen.

Billy, don't worry whether you can eat at Sapphire if you're staying there. There's enough in the area, especially Red Hook, where you can get a meal.

Sapphire won't be opening any restaurants in the near future.

No loss - their restaurants sucked anyway.

(who said that?)

Amen Bluwater.

Never eat at Sapphire Beach. The restaurants are terrible. (when they were open)
Red Hook is close by and has plenty of choices to offer.

In my opinion, the whole resort should be blown up and re-built.

Thanks all. I admit that the restaurants were not the best, but they were convenient, especially when you have to get behind the wheel with a few rum punches in you. Well, I guess on those days, we'll leave the rental and take a taxi. What about the new restaurant up the stairs in Sapphire Village? I don't know the new name. It used to be Azure or something. Finally, we used to love Agave Terrace, but it changed a few years back and after looking forward to it for months on Easter Sunday we were really disappointed. Can anyone provide feedback on these to restaurants? Thanks again!

Was the SeaGrape one of them? We were on STT about 4 years ago and went over to eat at the SeaGrape -We arrived when they were just opening for dinner and asked to see their menu before being seated...(we did this because upon arrival, the place did not look clean - it should have looked really clean considering they were just about to open for a new shift) but their menus spoke VOLUMES - they were STICKY & ICKY - we gave them back and told them we would not be staying.

Actually, the entire place was a dump (except the beach, of course - that was lovely - no thanks to any hotel staff)... a HUGE, SPRAWLING parking lot with fences and potholes... the few miserable people supposedly "working" there seemed to be quite unaware they were in the resort industry.

The restaurant in Sapphire Village (formerly Azure) is terrible. Slow service, poorly cooked food, expensive even for a resort area. The Caesar salad was good, though. Spring for a cab into Red Hook and you will be way ahead.

The name of the new restaurant at sapphire village is the Grapvine Bar and Grill. I'm told by people we know in the village that it's pretty good. I am going there next week, so I'll be trying it out.
The only place down at sapphire resort that I'll miss is the bar. It really was convenient to grab a cold drink after a long day in the hot sun. I'll miss that.

As I'm sure the folks that remember Sapphire in the good ole days, the open air restaurant, Bert at the thatched roof bar, great BBQ party on Sundays and the overall ambiance of a beautiful beach. How many remember Horse Feathers very close to the dock at Redhook,sitting in the sea grape trees serving wonderful pizzas, or maybe it was the setting that made it soooo good. It gathered the locals after work. What wonderful memories.
I also remember when Sapphire had been purchased by developers from Rhode Island(I think???) we all thought, "there goes the resort," sounds like over the years, that's exactly what has happened. Not that developers from New England are bad,,,just big developers in general, take the old and replace it with toooo much over development. Blu, I'm sure you know what I mean...you know what the islands were like 15 yrs ago as do the locals.

Grapevine Grille isn't so bad, Jim! You just need to stick to the salads and apps. The pizza is big enough to feed a small army and is tasty. But the $30 entrees are overmuch, I agree.
