Best Restaurants for Groups in St. John

Great waiter. Food was good. Good portions. Would def go back

Excellent experience. The parking is a problem. The lower lot was full and we had a hard time parking. I had to go into the front desk and ask. It is up a very steep hill by the tennis courts. We are 75 and 74 years old and walking up and down a very steep hill was a challenge. They should have valet parking. The hill was like a black diamond slope. LOL. Hard on the knees. Everything else was perfect!!!!

My wife and I had the distinct pleasure of once again eating at the restaurant Blue 11 in Yacht Haven.  We think their chef is a real gourmand genius.  He blends local and common American-style ingredients to make really excellent, tasteful flavors.   If Michelin stars were available in the Caribbean, he’d have at least one, more likely two.  We’ve eaten at many Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe and Asia and I don’t know the criteria for starring but this chef, this restaurant is equal to and surpasses some of these Michelin starred-restaurants.   I’m not a fan of every ingredient but his combination of flavors was simply delicious.  For example, I DO NOT LIKE TUNA and his first course when I was there was a spicy, tuna tartar.  Wow!!  Simply amazing and that was my opinion on each course.  My one negative, I wish the dessert was a little smaller.  I couldn’t finish it and didn’t have the satisfaction of saying, “I licked every plate clean!!”

As always, Pesce provided wonderful service, cocktails (love Smokey the Pear), and dinner.

Food and service was excellent. They have valet parking which is very convenient given limited places to park in Cruz Bay. The ambiance is amazing with great sunset and bay views. Tables are nicely spaced for quiet conversations. Food was great. I had the Snapper over mushroom rice- excellent. The NY Strip was done perfectly and was tasty. Didn’t do desert but hear good things. Dinner did take 2.5 hours which is good for island time. Never felt rushed and waitress did a great job periodically checking and offering up suggestions Overall a top pick for St John.
