    We had a fabulous, authentic, island time meal & drinks. Our party of five adults chose to order all of the starters for our dinner and they were delicious. Group favorites- the fritters, caramelized plantains, spicy shrimp, fried chicken. We appreciated that the staff was friendly and we weren’t rushed through our meal. The rum balls were a perfect ending to the meal. Try the rum flight and the El Presidente for beverages.

    While it has been awhile since we were last here, this experience was like our previous ones. The food was very good and nicely presented. We STT at the bar and the service was great and our bartender/waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu with suggestions that were spot on. Of course the views are hard to beat on St J.

    The food was fabulous! Reading reviews, I almost didn’t want to try Lemongrass, but it was spectacular! The charred octopus was so tender and with the beans tasted so good. 3 of us had the ahi tuna and the flavors were incredible. My husband had the short rib pasta and that was so delicious as well!! I would recommend this restaurant in a heartbeat!!!
