JAX Steakhouse
USDA Prime beef and serious cocktails in Maho Village's best dinner spot
Why Go
JAX Steakhouse is where you go when you want the best steak on the island, full stop. Located in Maho Village — right in the buzz of the Sonesta resort strip — it specializes in USDA Prime cuts cooked with the confidence you'd expect from a dedicated steakhouse. If you've been eating seafood and Caribbean fare all week and need a proper steak night, this is the answer.
The Experience
The atmosphere is upscale casual — dark wood, warm lighting, and a bar program that takes cocktails as seriously as the kitchen takes its beef. It feels like a proper steakhouse rather than a resort restaurant playing dress-up. The dining room buzzes with energy on busy nights, and the bar is a destination in its own right for pre-dinner drinks. Service is knowledgeable and will walk you through the cuts and preparation styles. The Maho Village location means you're steps from nightlife options if you want to extend the evening.
What to Try
The USDA Prime cuts are the main event — go for the larger share-style steaks if you're dining with someone. The tartare starter is well-executed. Seafood options exist for non-steak eaters in your group, and they're done well rather than as an afterthought. The wine list is curated toward bold reds that pair with beef, but ask about their cocktail specials — the bar team gets creative.
Insider Tip
Make a reservation. This isn't a walk-in kind of place, especially Thursday through Saturday. If you're staying at Sonesta or nearby, you can walk — no need for a taxi. The bar area accepts walk-ins more readily if you're flexible about eating at the bar top, which is actually a great experience.
The Practical Stuff
Dinner only, open nightly from 6 PM to 10:30 PM at Rhine Road 1 in Maho Village. Budget for a $$$ evening per person including drinks. Reservations strongly recommended. Credit cards accepted. Located within walking distance of the Sonesta Maho Beach Resort, Casino Royale, and the Maho nightlife strip. About a 5-minute taxi ride from the airport.
