USVI-On-Line

I'm leaving in a week it's been 5 years since I've been to St John what are the can't miss restaurants ? We enjoyed Ocean Grill, banana deck, beach bar, deli grotto, skinny legs, and Lime Inn in the past. We probably want to do one expensive dinner and the other nights probably around $20 a person not including beverages.

I'm sure you will get lots of suggestions. Our favorites (in no particular order) are as follows.
In Cruz Bay:
La Tapa

La Plancha del Mar

In Coral Bay area:

Looking forward to dining at these and probably a few others in a couple of weeks!

Last year our favorites in Cruz Bay were Rhumb Lines and High Tide, but we didn't eat over there a lot. In Cruz Bay we loved Aqua Bistro! We are looking forward to going there in about 3 weeks. I'm looking forwar to trying Tourist Trap, too, as well as revisiting some places we missed last year. I'll be watching to see reccomendations!

Unfortunately Lime Inn has recently slipped from our list of favorites. We felt it had been going downhill for a few years and after our experience last year we will probably only go there for drinks when we're on STJ next month. They still make a mean strawberry shortcake (mixed drink).

Our "don't miss" places are Banana Deck, Rhumblines, and Cafe Roma. We also like to go to Maho Bay on Friday nights for prime rib.

For your one "expensive" dinner I suggest Ted's Supper Club:

Along with the other suggestions we would also recommend the Fatty Crab.

We love Shipwreck Landing in Coral Bay and High Tide and Banana Deck in Cruz Bay.

Oops! That should have read in Coral Bay we LOVED Aqua Bistro! Thanks, Jumbie Girl!Grouper sandwich and Bistro Grouper were my faves!

P&Ps

more expensive, Coral Bay
Sweet Plantains (love the curry night)

a little less
Shipwreck Landing (fish and chips is my favorite)
Aqua Bistro

jwwj, what night is curry night? We ate at Sweet Plantains last year and it was one of our least favorite and most expensive meals. We tend to prefer more casual. We did think it was very unique, though, and we had a delicious Rum Martini.

Friday and Saturday are curry nights at Sweet Plantains. Here is their website with the different themes listed. http://www.sweetplantains-stjohn.com/dinner.htm We really like curries and really enjoyed the spicy red curry and the coconut curry. I have read a lot of mixed reviews of the restaurant and yes it is pricey.

We just loved Ekaete Pink Corner at the triangle in Coral Bay. Very reasonable prices, great food and great hostess/cook/owner. They've been closed for awhile, after a car accident, but someone let me know they were open just recently!
We also love Candi's Ribs near Starfish market.

Thanks, Minde. What kind of food is at Ekaete Pink Corner? Any seafood?

Thanks for all the suggestions I'm definitely gonna make sure we check out Rumblines this time. We will mainly be eating in Cruz bay since we will be closer to there! 5 more days!
