Skinny Legs 01/27/03
Reviewers Rating: Fair
We had read many reviews of Skinny Legs, good and bad, on this board, but having finally visited, here's my honest opinion: Skinny Legs is an okay, average place that is nothing special at all, but since there's not much else in Coral Bay, it seems good.

We stopped in after a day exploring the east end of the island and we hungry. Food was average; not bad, but not really that good, either. Service was slow and with an attitude, almost as if on purpose. There's a big difference between being relaxed and ignored.

The building has a nice, open-air bar, but again, there is nothing special about this place. Also, this had to be the smokiest place on the island, so if smoking bothers you, stay away! All I can figure is that there are so few places in Coral Bay that people are relegated to Skinny Legs. If this place was in Cruz Bay, I think it would be out of business.

If you want a really great place within about a mile of Skinny Legs, try Voyages. This was the nicest surprise of all the restaurants/bars of St.John. We would never have known about it or stopped in were it not from a recommendation on this very message board! Absolutely gorgeous decor, friendly staff, great food and drinks and the best happy hour on St. John. Forget the hype, ditch Skinny Legs and head to Voyages restaurant!
