    Homemade ricotta with honeycomb.
    Erin B.

    We grabbed a late reservation for the bar - 8:30pm. We wanted to eat at the bar because we did not want a prix fixe meal or tasting menu. Our options were excellent. I'm gluten free so I struggled a tad, but overall zero complaints. This place is great! I can't rave enough about the homemade ricotta. We ordered it with honeycomb. Worth it. Trust me. We split the arugula salad and the catch of the day for our meal. Catch of the day turned out to be swordfish. It was cooked so perfectly. The bartenders make lots of delicious treats - some of them being assorted cellos - we tried the lemon cello and the chocolate cello. So good!! Extra virgin is obviously Italian, so if you're craving handmade pastas, go here. They also make their own cheeses and charcuterie meats in house. This place does not mess around. So glad we finally go to try it!

    For the Mrs birthday we went to our fave restaurant in St John and it did not disappoint. They have moved to a price fixe menu which includes starter, second plate, and main course. Great choices on all three. My wife had the made in house ricotta while I had the calamari, both were awesome. Both of us had the mushroom Pappardelle which was so good, layers of rich savory flavors. The Mrs had the filet mignon while I opted for the short rib. Once again, so good. Very nice wine list with great service made for a very special dinner.

    Extra Virgin Bistro is very conveniently located in a wonderful spot that's very close to the Cruz Bay ferry. We stopped here for dinner, and had a wonderfully relaxed and delicious meal. We shared three entrées and a dessert. For our entrées, we had the seared tuna special (excellent!), the six-hour braised beef short rib (hearty, delicious, and beautifully presented), and we both completely LOVED the uber-flavorful cheese ravioli :-) Our dessert was a wonderful apple crisp, and we both enjoyed two very strong and tasty Grapefruit margaritas with our meal. The prices were surprisingly reasonable, and the service was spot-on - highly recommended!

    Everything was delicious. Service was excellent. Space was Beautiful inside- you kind of have to ignore the crappy parking and crappy area. Normal island experience I hear. Expensive. Worth it.

    Nicest food on the island. Pales in comparison to New York, Boston, London's fine dining scene. Fish was fresh, things were seasoned, courses delivered, nothing special beyond this. One course was just cheese, bread, and corn? I mean it was good, but not what I was expecting based on what this place claimed. Service was good but nothing was remarkable. Every dish we had was good, but I would not go back.

    My wife and I had our anniversary dinner here last year and almost a year later we still think about this place. The drinks were on point, service was super friendly and helpful with recommendations of what to order, and the food itself was extremely fresh. Maybe one day we'll be able to find our way back to St John all the way from New England but until that day comes...we'll be dreaming of the meal we had

    Food - 5/5 Drinks - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Price - 4/5 Parking - N/A Ambiance- 5/5 Fantastic experience. Truly delicious. The ricotta and pappardelle were especial stand outs. Kids menu also fantastic. They got that out fast and kid friendly while still catering to my wife and I doing the three course tasting.

    A truly fabulous dining experience. After a short search we came across this place which was "reservation highly recommended". We walked up and with amazing luck they had a cancelation just prior. We took it! A set 3 course meal with a few options per course and a fair price tag made for a perfect evening. Here's what we had between the 2 of us: In house Portuguese sweet bread (served complimentary) - delicious/soft/fresh Wine (we choose an Italian Chianti) - devine Portobello appetizer - amazing Lobster appetizer special - yum Duck confirmed salad with sweet potatoes - slightly salty, but fantastic flavor and beautiful presentation Catch of the day (mahi mahi) - delicious Date bread dessert special - perfect blend of flavors Apple cobbler - husband loved it, to sweet for me Limoncello and Pummellocello (grapefruit) - made in house and fantastic It was the perfect amount of food. Portions were just right per dish. We had wonderful service throughout the evening with utensils changed between dishes, refills as needed, and constantly being checked in on. As a set menu price it's definitely a higher price point meal, but worth it for a nice evening out.

    It is difficult to pick one specific restaurant in Saint John as the very best, but if you had to Extra Virgin Bistro would definitely be one of those! As always, Everything here is perfect. My Service, my food, even the drinks are special. Myself and my family combined have ordered probably 80% of the items in the menu and nobody has ever complained. Not cheap, but let's face it, you're not going to find a place that's not expensive in St John. Most people that come to St John go there because number one you don't want a busy place such as St Thomas. People pay for location. Also if you're knew to St John realize that everything comes from a long distance. Think less about the dollars and think more about the enjoyment of your vacation.

    Excellent food and service!! Went twice in the same trip because I knew I couldn't get this kind of food and service elsewhere here. Options are to have 3 course prix fixe or ala carte. Indulged and recommend the mahi chowder, wild mushroom paperdelle, ricotta, and mahi main, plus apple cobbler. Don't forget the watermelon with rosemary mocktail either. Let the staff know if you have any special requests, like no salt. I'd go again if I had time...don't miss this one.

    Broken Plate - Stuffed french toast

    Broken Plate is a locally owned diner within walking distance of the Crown Bay Terminal on the US…read moreVirgin Islands. I had a hankering for a good gyro, so actively sought this place out after seeing it on Yelp. It was decent. Located in the Nisky shopping center, Broken Plate occupies the former location of a popular restaurant called Salt'n'Vinegar. It has been open for about two years, and has a mostly local clientele. The parking lot of the mall was packed with cars, even during morning. Daria was our hostess/waitress and was informative throughout. The lunch menu is not available until 11am, so had to order items off of the breakfast menu. Most things are a la carte. Pistachio Crusted French Toast ($14) - One large piece of stuffed french toast, cut diagonally. Described as 'stuffed with honey, vanilla, pistachio cream, topped with berries and powdered sugar'. The berries were fresh blueberries. I stole a bite, and it was delicious. It didn't need syrup. Gyro breakfast ($18) - the meat is described as lamb doner, but it had not been prepared from a rotating spit. Instead, the meat was a good representation of food service gyro meat, reheated on a grill...which considering where we were, was pretty good. The plate included any 2 eggs, so got it scrambled soft and it was prepared well. The breakfast doesn't come with Tzatziki, which was an extra $2. It came with pita bread, and thinly sliced peppers and onions. It ended up being a satisfying gyro sandwich. My brother continued to shoot the breeze with our waitress while I finished my gyro. She recommended some places to get whole fried fish, which is what the area is famous for. The bill came and that's when I realized there is no sales tax in the USVI. Payment was easy, and because it uses USD, was able to use a CC that doesn't waive foreign transaction fees.

The service was appreciated and the food came out in a timely matter. The prices were a little much, but one should expect that given the location. I went with the Cubano ($15?). It was a good size sandwich. It consisted of ham, pork, cheese, pickles, and yellow mustard. The bread was flaky and very enjoyable. For the rest of the sandwich, it was solid. I always enjoy a good Cuban sandwich. The fries that accompanied the sandwich was tasty too. I also tried their Puerto Rican pizza, which consisted of pork, and plantains I believe? To my surprise, it was pleasant. The slightly burnt crust was a little thin, but all of the toppings went well with one another. Will I go back? Probably because of the location.
