Eating out

[Need2GetAway]

Hello again. We are thinking of only eating one, maybe two, nice meals out while we are there. (Otherwise we will mostly eat casual lunches at beach bars or whatever.) My husband is wondering what he'd need to wear for a nicer kind of dinner, lol. Without picking out restaurants yet, can you give me ideas? Does he need to pack dress shoes or a dress shirt? Thanks!!!

a polo would probably work most everywhere (a clean t shirt would probably too-)except for maybe equator at Caneel.....

My normal going out to eat clothes for STJ are a tropical shirt and shorts with sandels never been turned away any where

I think for most restaurants he will be fine with a polo shirt or a Hawaiian shirt and long shorts (is that an oxymoron? ). I know Equator is more "dressy" and I'm not sure about Zozo's on the pants length, I've never been there.

Men can wear dress shorts at Zozo's. I love that place. If you go make a res to sit at the bar around sunset. Carlos is great!

I was asking this same question here 3 years ago after Carlos from Morgan's Mango emailed and said: "The restaurant is casual, the island is casual, shorts and t-shirts are fine."

Then when I met Ruth @ St John Spice one day, the first thing she said was: "Well, are we casual enough for you?" We both had a great laugh!!

Here's a link to that thread:

Thanks so much everybody. He was very pleased to hear that.

It's 7:00 a.m. here, I'm sill in bed, and I just heard the snow plow go by. All I can say is, 1 month, 1week, and 1day...

P600 - At Zozos do you eat at the bar? Or just make reservations to have drinks there and then move to a table? Thanks.

We eat at the bar because the view is so spectacular. Great service too. I think you will really enjoy it.

Thank you!

I just sent Zozo's an email for a reservation in the bar for April 20th.

I hate making all these plans so far ahead of time - I'm feeling a little scheduled already (Palm Tree booked, two dinghy days reserved...) but I know it is going to be a busy week there and I don't want to feel hassled.

Sounds like you're doing just fine, to me!
Zo-Zo's is gorgeous, unbelievably swanky bar upstairs, and I think it's a great idea to make reservations for experiences that you have your heart set on.
That in mind,-Cheers to you!
We usually don't plan more than a daysail, but we hope to do a little more this upcoming trip that just might require reservations.
Have a blast 4/20 at Zo-Zo's- My Sweet Amy's birthday!
Hope to hear about your dinghy excursions. We're giving it a whirl this May and would love to hear about your experiences, feedback, and recommendations!
Have fun, you're almost there!
Smiles-
MJ

I've never worn long pants or a jacket anywhere on island. I hear its been done, but really, just say no. We only bring sandals and shorts.

Cheers, RickG

Enjoy it. My husband has worn shorts to Zozo's many times.
