We spent 11 days on St John over the holidays and got takeout from here 3 times and ate in person on New Years Eve. The food was excellent every time—-fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The service was quick, attentive and very friendly. Both the...traditional and craft cocktails were fantastic, and the decor and energy were fun.
The waitlist was confusing and difficult to navigate, but I stopped by at 3:00 when they opened and got great advice from the manager: the waitlist on their website opens at 3:00 pm. Log on to it right at 3:00 and keep refreshing it. If you want to eat around 7:30, wait until there are about 10-12 groups on the waitlist, then jump in and add your name. You will get a text message giving you an approximate wait time. We followed these directions on New Year’s Eve. The waitlist got to 12 groups at about 3:35 pm, I added my name, and I then got a text saying my wait would be 225 minutes. Our table was ready after 235 minutes, so the estimate was super accurate. Once you’re on the waitlist, you will be able to see the groups ahead of you and how close you are to getting to the top, so you don’t have to stick around Cruz Bay while you’re waiting. You will know when your time is about to come up and you can get back in to town to be seated. It’s totally worth it for a fun,casual, delicious meal in Cruz Bay.More
