Chef Nathan Ryan Neibaur | Private Chef in St. thomas

From Idaho Falls to St. Thomas: A Sushi Chef’s Journey to Caribe-Mae Cuisine

With over 25 years of culinary experience, Chef Nathan Ryan Neibaur has forged a reputation as one of the premier private chefs in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Originally from Idaho Falls, his culinary evolution began in traditional Japanese sushi kitchens, where he mastered the art of nigiri, omakase, and kaiseki dining.


For the past 15 years in St. Thomas, Nathan has immersed himself in the island’s vibrant culture, blending Japanese precision with the Caribbean’s abundant seafood and tropical flavors. His resume includes leadership roles as Executive Chef of Raw Sushi & Sake Bar, The Hideaway, The Shack at Hull Bay, and Chef de Cuisine at Sugarfin at The Westin Frenchman’s Reef. Each role allowed him to refine his craft and develop signature dishes—most notably the Caribe-Mae Nigiri, a creation that embodies his philosophy of cultural fusion and local sourcing.


Today, Chef Nathan offers exclusive private chef services across the Virgin Islands, from in-villa omakase dinners and kaiseki-inspired tasting menus to sushi rolling classes, yacht and charter dining, and elevated grazing boards. Every experience is designed to showcase the best of locally caught seafood, seasonal produce, and the innovative spirit of Caribe-Mae cuisine.


More than just a chef, Nathan is a culinary storyteller—honoring Japanese tradition, championing Caribbean farmers and fishermen, and crafting unforgettable dining experiences that flow seamlessly from ocean to table.

The mind must always be in the state of 'flowing,' for when it is stagnant, the food will not digest well.
