Great menu, great food, great service, and an awesome atmosphere.....we loved the Banana Deck!!! We were staying on St. Thomas, or we would have gone back at least twice. It is a few steps off the main drag, but well worth it!!!!!

We went with the family. Our son got the noodle bowl and we had crab cakes, shrimp salad, dumplings, and szechuan noodles. Food was good. Also enjoyed the musical entertainment and the cute house cats that will visit your table if you call them over. Also, if you are gluten free they have a great annotated menu that helps you order. Very helpful!

We had a delightful meal with an excellent bottle of Lust. Starters included bread with herbed olive oil, gazpacho and an artichoke/cheese fondue that makes my mouth water in retrospect. We split a tuna in an asparagus and corn sauce that sounded a little unusual and was fantastic. Dessert was an equally delicious flourless chocolate cake.

We enjoyed a great birthday dinner celebration for my wife with 3 other couples. The food was absolutely spectacular, coupled with awesome service made for a perfect evening. The restaurants first night open after a break for the slow season introduced a delicious new menu. We started with baked oysters Rockefeller which were tender and delicious. Entrees were seared tuna for me and scallops for the birthday girl. Scallops were backed in an Augratin style and were incredible!

Surprisingly, this was a canopied outdoor restaurant but, also surprising was how good the food was! The ribs were the hit of the night. We were just sorry that they closed for the season before we could come back for a second meal in August. We'll definitely return on our next St. John visit!

We stopped in for dinner this trip to STJ. I had the butternut squash soup (okay) and the Malbec mussels - absolutely fabulous!! My husband was happy with his Pickapeppa steak. We sat at the bar and had a couple of drinks with dinner. This is our 3rd time and Morgan's Mango and we will definitely return.

What a great spot for drinks and dinner. Weâll be back. Korena served us well and was a great person to talk to, plus she explained drinks and food so well. The seafood stew was excellent and the tacos were really good too.

So excited that Extra Virgin is open again after taking a break after low season. First night open and they are right back into the swing of things, doing everything with excellence, as usual. Service=impeccable, love sitting at the bar where the service is amazing and everything came out super fast. The spinach salad was delicious and as usual the shrimp and crab pasta was heaven with every bite!!! Thank you again!

View is great, service is fine, but the food is nothing special, and no locals seem to eat there. Happy hour but one get one is decent, but the regular priced drinks are quite expensive.To say locals don't eat here is a false statement. Locals eat here daily at night and to go food. Currently we are on slow season, on island and half of our customers are locals. They mostly dine on the weekends, when they are off work. If you search around other Restaurant on island, you will find our prices are a lot more reasonable. Thanks for you input.
