What a great restaurant!! Loved everything about it! Our waiter was very knowledgeable! Drinks were unique and tasty! Food selection was very diverse and done well. I'd definitely have Our two desserts again!! Will go back next time I'm on the island! read more

So many people told us to come here is it was very hard to secure a last minute reservation so we were excited to try. We ended up absolutely loving the food here. Everything is so fresh and packed with flavor, that you really can't go wrong with anything in the menu. The vegetable paella was delicious, the two tridatos we tried were fresh and bright with the different sauces on top, and the key lime pie was absolutely amazing. It is definitely the vacationers favorite spot, but I wouldn't say it's too touristy or anything. It gets a lot of attention because it's good and a nice place to eat dinner with your family on vacation. We sat at the bar and the bartender was super friendly. The host was kind enough to try to squeeze us in anywhere he could so for that we are very grateful. The food took awhile to come out, but that's probably just island time stuff, and besides the place was PACKED. But our appetizers and desserts came out really quickly. We loved our time here and would definitely recommend giving it a try if possible! There is a good mix of seafood and "land breezes" on the menu, plus a couple vegetarian plates if needed. Perfect for cocktail and mocktails as well! read more

We were fortunate to get a same day reservation by calling between 9-4 and were looking forward to our experience as first time diners. After getting an amazing cocktail at the bar while waiting for our table, and then receiving a great spot on the front corner of the patio things started going downhill as others have mentioned. After taking our order, we never saw our server again (other than watching him help other tables) until after our entrees were delivered and we asked someone to find him to help us get a glass of wine. We had originally planned to order a bottle but just opted for a glass at that point. Our appetizers dishes and empty cocktail glasses also sat for quite awhile on the table while we waited. Food was a mixed bag. Enjoyed the special soup and tango salad but our grouper and wahoo entrees were disappointing and overcooked. Skipped dessert as we were both a bit bummed at the overall experience. Not sure if we would try again with other spots on the island we would like to try, but if we did, would opt for the bar in hopes of better service. read more

This place came highly recommended by many people on the island. Very hard to get in to... called and they only had one reservation left for 5:30. We got there and man was the line long. Surely this place had to be amazing with that long of a line and very limited reservations. Ok so there was good and bad, hence the 3 stars. The good, great ambience, open air with a good view. Adding to that, the food was stellar. Super fresh, great flavors and portions were good. Would definitely come back for the food. The bad... service, or lack there of. We were a party of 4 but must have been invisible. We got waters quickly but didn't order anything else. Not sure if that was a surprise to the server but we don't drink. It was all downhill from there. Took forever for us to order an appetizer and while it came out quickly, once again, it took forever to order our dinner. Food came out and was delicious. The server came by once to make sure we were ok but that was it until the bill came. He disappeared from serving us only to bow down to the table across from us. That table ordered lots of drinks and lobster so apparently they get preferential treatment and we get nothing. End of the day, while the service sucked, food was good. Might or might not go back. read more

For our last dinner in St John, we booked a reservation here. Only bar seating was available but it did not hamper the experience. They open at 5:30pm which was our reservation time and it was busy. Folks were lined up down the stairs waiting to get in. They handled the crowd well. We started with splitting the tango salad. It was a nice combo of island tastes and great way to whet the palate. I chose the coconut shrimp. Four large pieces of shrimp were presented with a cob of corn and jasmine rice. Everything had a nice island flavor. We finished the meal with a flourless chocolate tort with a raspberry sauce. So good. They are noted for key lime pie but just not my fav. The open airiness of the space was cool and inviting. Being at the bar, our server was the bar tender. They were extremely busy but we never felt neglected. Service was good. The three of them worked well as a team. read more

I wouldn't say amazing, but about as good as one can get on the island. Service is good, food is good, people love crab nights (Tuesday's) and everything is fine. Quite expensive. read more

Had dinner on a Tuesday with two other couples while on vacation. Turned out to be lobster night which was a welcomed surprise. We ordered a bunch of apps Tuna tartar (3/4) fresh and decent portion but the tuna was a bit lacking in flavor Calamari (4/4) simple and great crunch Lobster dish (6/4) fantastically executed and hands down one of the best lobster I've had. Beyond tender and zero chewiness perfectly cooked and no additional sauce seasoning or otherwise needed. Lamb lollipops (4/4) excellent tender and a decent app Grouper (2/4) pretty thick crust and mine was overcooked and under seasoned Mussels (3/4) decent and plentiful good sharing option Drinks (2/4) they were fine, I would go for wine or beer if you visit. Space filled up pretty quickly at 5:45 and plenty of seating multiple levels of tables and bar seating. Be aware it is pretty outside with covering and fans but we were definitely sweating the whole time. Service was fine, we had to ask multiple times for simple things like ice or a spoon but overall we were very much on island time so weren't in a rush. Book early and if you can GO FOR LOBSTER NIGHT! There's a taxi stop right out front along with the ice cream shop and other cute stores nearby. read more

Classiest place I've been on St John. White tablecloth. Food was exceptional! Service was great! And you can't find a better ambiance in St John! read more

This spot was a pleasant surprise. While the seafood is frozen, not fresh, it was still among the better meals I've had on the island. I'd recommend skipping the calamari, though; mine were overly chewy and tough. The paella leaned more toward a basic seafood rice dish, featuring frozen seafood, but the flavors were still enjoyable. The real standout, and the reason for the 4-star rating, is their key lime pie. Truly exceptional. As someone who's borderline obsessed with key lime pie and orders it at every restaurant that offers it, I can confidently say this was the best I've ever had. Light, tangy, perfectly balanced, absolutely heavenly. read more

Morgan's Mango - Seafood Near Me - Saint John, Virgin Islands

If you are staying in Cruz Bay in St. John, I highly recommend you make a reservation and try this place. The menu is varied enough to appeal to multiple pallets including fresh seafood. They are well known for their lobster, but it is not always available. You should contact them to see when they have their lobster nights if you are planning a trip to St. John. The service is on point and the atmosphere is very nice with original artwork adorning the walls. read more

Had a great dinner at Morgan's mango. We tried several dishes and liked every single one. Everything is super fresh and delicious . One of the best meals we had in St John. The owner, Carlos, goes around and greets his customers. You can tell he loves what he does. Our server Sean was amazing too. Awesome experience. A must in St John read more

My husband and I had a fantastic meal during our visit to St John. The service was warm and one of the co-owners even stopped by to check in on all diners. Will definitely return! read more

This was our fourth visit to Morgan's Mango and it remains one of our favorite places to get dinner on St. John. Reservations are a must, although we have lucked out with seats at the bar when we didn't plan appropriately. Three types of ceviche!! Say less. Catch of the day. Always amazing. Love their cocktail list. Service has always been excellent. Can't wait to go back! read more

We celebrated a lovely birthday dinner at Morgan's Mango and would do it all over again! You definitely need a reservation, whether your party is big or small, this place fills up from the time they open to the time they close! Even the bar takes reservations! We skipped apps and went straight to dinner and it did not disappoint! The portions are large and filling so come hungry! I had the coconut crusted grouper and it was absolutely delicious. My one critique is that the side of veggies was a bit undercooked for me, most were still hard. A few others in my group for the surf and turf dinner special and the lobster was cooked perfectly and super tasty. Probably hopped out of the ocean that morning! We "forced" ourselves to get dessert and opted for the key lime pie. It was delicious! Perfect amount of crust and filling and super tasty! It is also the biggest pie I've ever seen! The staff was super great and attentive. Always filling glasses and checking in. Couldn't have asked for a better celebration spot! Definitely would recommend for a more upscale dinner on St. John! read more

Ordered medium well steak and rare was delivered. Don't ask if there's no option. Also ordered wine came wrong then 20 min later correct wine. Guest at our table got a bottom of the bottle grizio that was undrinkable. These guys have a wait list and don't care. Go so Where more St. John that appreciates your business. read more

My husband and I visited Morgan's Mango for dinner one evening on our honeymoon, and we were very found of the drinks, food, and atmosphere. We made our reservations well in advance, which I highly recommend unless you want to sit at the bar. Our server was wonderful, and as he went over the evening specials, he was sure to point out some of his personal favorites. I had a gin cocktail that was delicious, and I chose the filet for dinner. The filet was topped with a chimichurri sauce and accompanied by a potato mash and seasonal vegetables. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the portions were generous. We ended our evening with a highly recommended slice of their key lime pie, and it was AMAZING. We will definitely be returning to Morgan's during our next visit to St. John! read more

Absolutely AMAZING food! My husband and I ate at Morgan's Mango for our first anniversary and everything was exceptional- from the service, to the atmosphere, to the food! The paella was the best I've had, better than Barcelona and Madrid! The Mango Colada drinks were sweet, refreshing, and filling. The Key Lime Pie was also one of the best I've ever had! Our server was also amazing and well versed with the menu. We ordered based off his recommendations and everything he recommended was spot-on! 5 stars!! Can't wait to go back! read more

It was DOWN POURING when we came in for our reservation. We requested the patio, so we didn't have the choice to move inside, but the staff was incredibly accommodating and everything possible was done to keep customers dry and comfortable (moving tables as close in as possible, umbrellas, etc). We did stay dry, and despite being worried, had zero complaints about the patio on a rainy night lol. The service was friendly and professional. The food and drinks were amazing. Highly recommend! read more

The atmosphere was upscale but not intimidating with very kind wait staff. The filet was INSANE!!!! so delicious and swordfish was delightful!! read more

John made the night! He was such a friendly personable bartender. The food was outstanding: lobster (only served 2 nights a week) and the panko crusted grouper ... But the best part of the meal was the Key-lime pie topped with white chocolate moose. WOW! read more

This is one of our favorite places to come in St. John for date night. We always sit at the bar. You can walk here from Cruz Bay as well.

Morgan's Mango - Seafood Near Me - Saint John, Virgin Islands

Been here 3 times in the past 4 years, sorry to say the kitchen has gone downhill. The lobster bisque is beef based and tasted burnt. The main course of seafood paella was 90% rice with one shrimp and some calamari/small mussels. Tried my friend's coconut shrimp she did not finish, breading was dense on butterflied shrimp, hard to tell what you were eating. Hope the owners read this review, something not right.. Dining date 4/14/26 read more

One of the elite dinner spots on STJ. Food and service is always good. Corvina special was on point tonight. Scallops were a big hit as well. Plenty of great choices, something for everyone. Make a reservation or you'll regret it. Outside tables are the best but not guaranteed. read more

Morgan's Mango - Grilled Lobster - Seafood Near Me - Saint John, Virgin Islands

Still great! Our family had reservations for the first seating of the night and had a great experience. The customer service was good and the food is SO GOOD. I returned to my favorite dish from their menu: coconut panko-crusted grouper. So glad I didn't do an appetizer! Pro tip: Use their web reservation system (email). Worked out great for us by emailing at the beginning of our stay when we hadn't booked all of our adventures yet so we had maximum flexibility as this was a "must do" for us. Speaking of "musts," you MUST save room for their epic key lime pie! Best I have ever had. read more

Years ago, a friend brought us here, but I have to say I didn't remember it being this incredible of a space. Tucked away next to Mongoose Junction, yet completely open with a Saint John vibe...but with glass instead of solo cups. :D We went on Tuesday, which was the Lobster Special day and the four of us each got 1lb lobsters (asked to be taken out of the shell), with the VERY best beans, rice and plantains I've had in a long while. For that, plus the bread basket and 3 drinks, the bill was under $250...a STEAL on an island that is not known for cheap prices. MM may have just become my request next time on island, but if you're lucky enough to be there now, stop in and check out this incredible place. read more

3 of the 4 of us ordered the same thing we do every time (grouper). None of us ate the veggies that we usually love; they were ice cold at 5:30pm. 1 did not eat the grouper. All 4 thought it was tough and chewy. 2 of the 3 that ordered grouper got violently ill. Even the service went downhill (no one came to follow-up after we received the entrees). Definitely not the same (after MANY years of consistency). So sad. read more

The restaurant is beautiful and relaxing. It's a bit of a challenge for people with limited Mobility but worth the climb up And down! The service was perfection. We had the same server twice very knowledgeable about the menu. Everyone was very accommodating and smiling! The owner was also walking around checking on her guests. I have to say the food for me was not my cup of tea. I'm Not big on seafood! The other 3 in my party of 4 enjoyed their meal immensely. We did notice a difference in the lobster quality from Tuesday we would say was better than the Saturday lobster. Seafood paella was also enjoyed. I had coconut shrimp and so did the 4th diner. Good but nothing outstanding it's friend shrimp, not to adventurous! Tres Leche cake was definitely unforgettable! My parents love and highly recommend to everyone as do I. We will def Be back! A little pricey but standard for at John read more

Highly encourage making reservations cause there is a constant flow of people dining in. The restaurant looks very nice on the inside. Staff is friendly and attentive. We came in as a party of ten, so accomating large groups is not a problem. Started off with a couple of mango mojitos and it was one of the best mojitos I've ever had in my life. I ordered the cheese bread and the lobster soup to start. Cheese bread were ok, nothing spectacular. The soup was flavorful however the pieces of shrimp they used could have been better, they were overcooked for a soup. Moving right along to the main dish. The lobster was out of this world. Probably some of the best grilled lobster I've had. Everything on this island in terms of sit down restaurants are all overpriced. Overall it was a great experience and the food was delicious. read more

This is a nice place that is centrally located. You need to make reservations before your trip if you want to ensure you get a table. The atmosphere is really good and the food good, but I wouldn't say excellent. But definitely a good place to go if you want to step up from bar food. read more

Great bartenders. Food took quite along time. The coconut shrimp was dry ( even with the sauce) that I thought it was chicken. No taste. Way too much panko, no shrimp. read more

Came here for dinner while visiting St. John. Service was good, nice ambience though note it's an outdoor restaurant... I personally could have used bit more of a breeze. Though there are fans. We started off with the lamb, asked for medium well but came out more in the medium side... wish it was cooked more. For main course, I had the catch of the day (gosh I forgot name of the white fish), it was okay... I don't think the mango rum sauce went well with the fish. Husband had the paella which he enjoyed. Best thing I enjoyed was the pomegranate pear martini. read more

Took an evening sail to St John from St Thomas. Decided to go Morgan's Mango for dinner. We didn't have reservations, the hostess said she would have a table in 20 mins, so we waited. We say an empty table up the stairs when we arrived, guess where the hostess sat us 20 mins later? You got it, the same empty table. I'm not a seafood fan but my family is. I ordered a steak and it was highly under prepared. My family said the seafood was well prepared. You don't go to seafood restaurant to get a well prepared steak. The service was great and the environment was great. We would return in the future. read more

With a lot of places still closed, I was excited that Morgan's Mango was open so had to give it a try. Literally everyone at my hotel was heading there as well, so maybe I over hyped this place in my head. First thought - open air restaurant - with a vibrant vibe. Things tried: - tuna tataki: the night's special and it was amazing! Flavors danced in my mouth - yucca chips : they were good, but not sure it was worth the price - lobster: the waitress recommended 1.5lbs, but tbh I think you should get what you feel is right. I ordered as recommended and left with more than half of the lobster. It was good, but Caribbean lobster tends to be a bit more chewy compared to Maine lobster. The sides the accompanied the lobster were ok. The beans and rice were a tad bland but the plantains were delish. Key lime pie: I kind of regret getting this. It was sooo sweet and lacked tart. Wasn't the way I wanted to end dinner. All in all I'm glad I tried Morgan's Mango, but my experience was just ok. Aside from the appetizer, food was ok. Service was also just ok. read more

So, been here before and was a great experience. Not this time. Had a reservation for 5 people at 8:00PM. showed up at 8:05, 5 minutes late. Our bad. NO TABLE FOR US! Said our reservation was 'accidentally' cancelled and no table for us. No idea who "accidentally" canceled this reservation. Wasn't me. Nobody seems to know who "accidentally" cancelled. You'd think there would be some info there. Maybe it was "accidentally" cancelled when they had other guests waiting so no table for us. To be fair, when complained the manager tried to help and get us in , but by then our group had split up and everybody was already pissed off and gone. I have no doubt this place has great food and usually great, but not this time. Guess they probably dont care anyway. Business is good. Good luck. It will eventually catch up. ZERO STARS! will be anxiously awaiting a response. Amazing how no one can figure out who cancelled the reservation. Yall had it! read more

We loved our experience at morgan's and definitely recommend checking it out. I would recommend a reservation as dinner time had a full house. We enjoyed our calamari and lucky for us Tuesday and Saturday is lobster night. Needless to say the poor lobster did not stand a chance. It was tender and delicious. Our waitress was so sweet and attentive. I don't remember her name. All in all a standout on the island. read more

Very good Restaurant. RESERVATIONS NEEDED, even in slow season. made a reservation late the day of and lucky enough to get last two seats at the bar . Prior to arrival we received a text that our seats were available, upon arrival the bar seating ( and restaurant) was very crowded. once we squeezed into our bar seats a little flustered, everything quickly slid into place with war welcome from bartender and dedicated food waiter behind the bar . our drinks were very good , and food service came timed perfectly . We had the empanada appetizer which was Excellent, and each a fresh a 1 lb and 1.5 lobster ( very fresh , tender and sweet ) For dessert a Delicious large slice Key lime Pie . i would definitely highly recommend this restaurant while on St. john's . there's also a nice local shop area right next door at Moongoose Junction if you arrive early for your reservation. read more

Morgan's Mango - Fresh Lobster 1.5 lb & 1lb sitting at the bar . - Seafood Near Me - Saint John, Virgin Islands

My wife and I heard about this restaurant from a number of sources including the VRBO-owner, so we made a reservation for 5:30 (right when they open) and we had the loveliest time. Our server - I'm embarrassed I don't remember his name - was phenomenal. There was another lady dressed in a gown and she also helped us - this restaurant has the most amazing service to back up their 32-year reputation. The food was perfection and service was impeccable. My wife had their catch of the day and I had the pork loin. Both dishes were literally the best food we have had while dining out in ages - restaurants in the lower 48 could learn from Morgan's Mango. Their famous key lime pie is a game changer. It's amazing and is the only key lime pie I will ever eat. Seriously - it's so good. Unfortunately we didn't take any photos of our food so you'll have to take our word for it and make a reservation because you will not regret it. My wife and I dressed up a little for dinner - I guess island dress-up with collared shirt for me and cute dress for her - but overall it's casual and friendly. If we are ever so fortunate as to get to come back to St. John, this will be the one restaurant we will visit again. Simply the best. read more
