I almost forgot...Texas Toast for chicken fried steak...that's some good eating!

Lime Inn – we especially like the whole grilled jerk snapper

Morgan’s Mango – While our food has some times been so-so, we love the frosty drinks and it is a sentimental favorite from our honeymoon. I think it was the first STJ bar we visited and I remember there was a tree growing right next to the bar.

Caneel for breakfast – Hubs loves his breakfast and I swear they lose money, even at $27 or so, when he shows up.

Shipwreck for lunch

In all our trips, we have yet to try Asolare, Paradiso, or Sweet Plantains. Next time!

Rhumblines, Skinny's, and Candy's BBQ!

1. Island Blues for lunch specials (I hope it's still good with the new owners) at least twice.

2. Miss Lucy's for lunch. The view and tradewinds are zen-like in the afternoon.

3. Skinny's for lunch or a drink or a little shopping or a game depending on when we are there (Go Pats!).

I've only been once and I know when I go back I have to have the Tuna Downunder at the Beach Bar...I think about that dish often! OMG...I loved loved loved it.

We have lots of favorites:

Rhumblines: We love the pu-pu, and also the pepper-crusted tuna.

Beach Bar: 2 or 3 lunches here on each trip, plus we usually have one "bar-food night" at BB.

Zozo's: We have eaten here each trip, and sometimes we have come a second time just for sunset cocktails in the upstairs bar.

Lime Inn: Comfortable atmosphere, good food, and Rich is a great host.

Morgan's Mango: We always like lobster night. Feels like we're on an island, which is good.

We've only eaten at La Tapa and Waterfront Bistro once each, but we'd like to go to both of those spots again.

Thanks to everyone for the great sugestions - will file these! Felt sorry for all those enduring the sizeable earthquake and Omar. Let's hope that takes care of those "activities" for quite a while![/b]

Chilly Billys is no more...the location is under new ownership and is now Jake's...a reasonably priced place with decent food. I'd go back for breakfast.

On our must eat at list:

- Morgan's Mango

- Lime Inn

- Cafe Roma

- Rhumblines (they serve my husband's favorite Pad Thai in the whole world)

- The Smoothie Shack (their mango smoothies are incredible, and surprisingly I think they taste better without the rum)

Sweet Plantains and La Tapa. Usually two or three times each.

Shipwreck Landing during the day for the ambiance, and drinks and snacks.

I'm going on my second trip in a few weeks, but we never had a bad meal last time. We ate dinner at Morgan's Mango (lobster night on Tuesday -- amazing, but expensive) and Margarita Phil's.

I'm not going to lie, I went to The Beach Bar every day. Most days I had either tuna bites or tuna down now. It sounds like the new chef/cook is going to do some great things, and I can't wait.

I also love, love, love Woody's Pasta salad and Skinny's cheeseburgers.

Must do for us (currently):

ZoZo's
Sweet Plantains
Deli Grotto (for the sandwiches - to take out to the beaches!)

We had our all-time favorite in the past. The restaurant is still there but hasn't been the same for quite a while to us without the chef we loved.

we usually hit shipwreck for a late lunch/early dinner on the way out to concordia our first day (get the 2pm ferry, pick up a car, do some basic needs shopping then hit shipwreck).....

We've usually eaten in a lot, but try to stop at:

Vie's-nothing like the roaming chicken ambiance

Satyamuna in the Marketplace-usually 2x-especially nice if you're a vegetarian

Beach Bar-but is it for the food or the drinks or the location???

We tried Sogo's last time and liked it-I'd eat there again when we're down in March.

Can't go wrong at too many places!
