Starting with Island Tings which were awesome with pickled pineapple garnishes, my husband and I ordered 3 smaller plates and 1 larger plate to share. The fish sliders made with fresh mahi mahi were terrific. We also loved the vegetable tempura. I could have skipped the crab and conch fritters as they were a bit too chewy, but our large... More

We avoided the pricey restaurant scene on St John altogether and really enjoyed the inventive food choices and service at the Fatty Crab. A few locals may dis it because it is NYC owned but we loved it... Actually went twice for drinks and small plates...

We visited St. John in April. This was THE restaurant on the island. The pad Tay is amazing and d French toast (Sunday branch) is amazing
