Island Blues is under new ownership and I think they are doing a good job. I had dinner here a couple of times last week and it was much better than last year under the previous owners. They have tables outside right on the waterfront of Coral Bay. More

Yep. We stayed in Cruz Bay and made the trip to Island Blue thrice (meaning 3) to have lunch between beachin'. As some know, they have recently changed ownership. We have experienced both and can say w/o a doubt that it was good then, but now it ROCKS! (or Blues). IB offers open air at the bar or at waterside... More

First off, I would not go here with children or younger family members. We were immediately approached while seated at our table by a drug dealer and shown joints for sale. I looked back at the staff and they seemed to act like this was a part of the experience. No one stopped this ordeal. I had to make the... More

Returned to Island Blues (one of my favorite places on st john) and got stranded by our (usually reliable) driver. The manager here noticed us waiting around closing time and not only tried to reach our driver for us, but when he couldn't, drove us himself back to maho which was out of his way and on a rough road....and...

The food here was great. We had the BBQ chicken sandwich which was actually big enough to split and the shrimp wrap. We are from Louisiana and love spicy food, but, wow, this was VERY spicy! It was very tasty! Actually, loved it! More

Mo is an amazing server from Boston that is personable and even remembered our names and what we ordered 2 days later when we bumbed into her. Even though you are on STJ you have to try their nachos!! Also try the mahi ceviche and the crab... More

We stopped by for lunch looking for an alternative to Skinny Legs. We were presently surprised. The food is comparable in quality with a much broader menu. And get this; they actually have French Fries (something that has eluded SL for decades). Dining is outdoors a few feet from Coral Bay. We returned for the Friday night dance party. The... More

We just had the best time in the USVI and an afternoon spent at Island Blues made our trip amazing! There was 10 of us and the staff was so friendly, fun and served everything with a GIANT smile. This is a MUST STOP in St.John and we can't wait to return! Thanks Island Blues for the great memories! More
