Not a great dining experience: The good: 1. Nice retro vibe and good patio dining. 2. For the most part, the staff was friendly. The bad: 1. You are here for the food. Service was fast but the food was just okay. We received our plates and they were missing two key ingredients that the menu stated. We asked our server and she insisted that the ingredients were in the dish. Mind you, these were not spices, but key food ingredients that would have been visible and to taste. The seemingly inexperienced server could not have cared less. 2. The flat bottled water we ordered arrived with the seal broken and aged looking on all three bottles. Begs the question on the origin of the pricey water. read more

Spectacular meal during our trip to St John. Our server was amazing and really knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere is really cool. Be sure to save room for their key lime pie as it is delicious!! read more

Let me just put this out there right up front. I've been coming to "the islands" for 10 years and have had the privilege of eating many fine meals here. And this one has to go down as one of the top 5 best. The service was amazing, the atmosphere was classy without being snobby. Carrot Ginger Asparagus Soup. Just let those flavors swirl together in your mind. Paired that with a Mango Colada. A real one. Follow that up with Ceviche, Mussels and Pork Tenderloin and Ron Zacapa XO, finished off with a Key Lime Pie that was all original. They even timed the sunset. Perfect. read more

This place is really amazing. The staff is great and very helpful when looking at the menu. We were there on LobsterNIGHT!! And well what can I say ! Still tasting the delicious sweet LOBSTER! We enjoyed a beautiful sitting overlooking the area and there was a slight breeze and they had the fans on which made for great atmosphere. Wife had wine and I had one of the best DIRTY Martini since being at St Johns. We really enjoyed our meal and what a great ending for restaurants to end the trip. Going home tomorrow. And then came the FAMOUS Key Lime Pie. It was the best. I totally recommend this place and be sure to get reservations!!!! read more

We came here around 8pm and did have a reservation. The only they could do was seat us at the bar, otherwise they were full for the night. We jumped at the chance and waiting about 5 minutes while they set us up. Our kids enjoyed sitting there and we had a nice conversation with our neighbors and the bartender. We saw the plaque for Kenny Chesney and we were in his usual seats! We started with the shrimp ceviche and bread basket and both were great. The ceviche was not too citrusy and there was a good yuca chip to ceviche ratio. For my entree, I got the catch of the day, which was one of 4 fish (so maybe call it "catches of the day" ha!). I had the choice between, grouper, snapper, salmon, and swordfish. I ended up going with the snapper in a mango rum sauce, which I based the fish on the sauce I liked. It was great and the portion was huge! I also had the Caribbean Passion frozen drink, which was unique and hit the spot after a long day at the beach. read more

Delicious! They open at 530 and either make a reservation or eat at the bar. The key lime pie was just as good as we expected it to be based on other reviews. Definitely need to have that to finish off your meal. We tried the surf and turf with the fresh catch of the day which was halibut a huge piece compared to what you would get stateside and the Ribeye both were fantastic there was also a special appetizer which was three scallops and two shrimp which Was better than any scallops I've ever had . I usually don't even like scallops because they taste fishy and like rubber balls. We also have the paella And I could eat that every day so delicious. Fresh bread basket had 4 rolls and an herb butter. Great good, good service, and we would come back. About $260 for Dinner for two which is maybe a little pricey for The location but if I had this in the city it would probably be about $500. read more

I want to give 4.5 stars, but since I can't, I'll go with 5- due to the service we received. Our experience here was one of our favorites on this visit to the island. I had the coconut crusted wahoo - which was, for me, perfect. Very flavorful sauce, delicious fish and the right amount of batter (I don't like too much). The potato-yuca mash was a great complement. And the veggies were excellent. read more

Good food. Terrible server. And they don't separate the ticket. I do not recommend it at all.

Two thumbs up make sure you go lobster Tuesday or Saturday. Great drinks great service. Be sure to make reservations.

Love the atmosphere of this place! Great food - would recommend having your servers taste your wine so they can help guide our decision. My friends went back a second time the same week read more

Morgan's Mango - Filet with potatoes and mixed veggies - Seafood Near Me - Saint John, Virgin Islands

Our first time on the island and visiting Morgan's Mango did not disappoint. Definitely make reservations in advance as they book up quick! We went on a Tuesday which is one of their lobster nights. The staff is right on point with their service and knowledge of the menu. We started with the appetizer special of the day which was a flash fried sushi roll and was so delicious. I ordered the lobster dinner (1 lb) and had more food than I knew what to do with. The lobster was cooked perfectly and accompanied with plantains and beans. Hubs decided on the coconut crusted grouper and had the best meal out in a long time. The sauce that is served alongside the grouper is such a nice surprise really complimenting the flavors of the grouper. We would 100% go back and try other items on the menu the next time we visit the island. read more

Got seated at a tiny wobbly table for two. Ordered the coconut leak purée soup. it was a thin bland broth with a few leaks thrown in. I got coconut encrusted grouper. the fish was way over cooked and tough. The coconut crust was saturated with oil. My wife got the catch of the day swordfish which was good. key lime pie was also good but overall for the prices they charge it was no where worth it. Also it's very loud in there. read more

Morgan's Mango is a must try on the island! The ambiance is great and was the perfect spot for my groups Christmas Eve dinner. Highly recommend making reservations ahead of time because this place gets packed! Appetizers: - pan seared lamb lollipops: ($18) this was hands down the best lamb I've ever tried. Perfectly cooked and juicy. Extremely flavorful from the tamarind-Cabernet reduction. - yellow fin tuna tartare: ($18) super fresh and perfectly paired with the yuca chips. A very refreshing app. - calarmares fritos: ($12) you can never go wrong with fried calamari! - malbec steamed mussels: ($16) these were really underwhelming and extremely tiny. Main courses: - creamy seafood paella: ($40) MUST TRY! I've only ever had traditional paella which is more dry. This creamy paella was so flavorful filled with mussels, shrimp, mahi, calamari in a rich creamy sauce. Our group loved this dish. - grilled mahi mahi: ($40) this was just okay. Considering we're on an island, thought the fish would be amazing but it wasn't anything special. - poppas ribeye steak: ($38) great steak, make sure you dip it in the sauce. read more

We made a reservation for Saturday night and glad that we did. There was long queue of people waiting to get a table. We ordered the Empanada de la casa and the bread basket to begin with, it was very good. We order the Lomo con chimi churri and lobster with saffron rice, beans and fried plantains every dish was scrumptious. We ordered the chocolate brownie to go. read more

All the other restaurants we wanted to visit in Cruz bay were booked and after sunset drinks in the beach we wanted a good resto before taking the ferry back to to St Thomas. Ambiance is great, we were able to get. 7:45p reservation so we stopped at longboard for a quick drink. All the food items ordered with our group were on point. The osso bucco, the steak, the vegan options, the wahoo ... and the dessert too. Staff was decent, we had to remind them we needed to catch the 10p ferry off the island. Overall food came out on time. We've already recommend the resto to others we've met. read more

We always eat at Morgan's Mango at least once per trip to St. John. Many great meals and good times. A family tradition for us. Our visit this trip was great in spite of a few mis-steps. Even though I made reservations a week before and confirmed when they sent a text the day of, someone else claimed our table right before we walked up to the hostess stand. Fortunately they sat the five of us immediately; so while it is disturbing to think some feel it is OK to steal a reservation (what jerks!) Morgan's didnt miss a beat so it had no effect on us. We enjoyed our conversations with our server and the manager, both of whom had close ties to our home towns and colleges. The drinks are great, the wine prices extremely reasonable (about the same you pay retail at Starfish Market!). The food is the star here, of course, and this visit did not disappoint, except for one goof with the fish (seems I got my daughter's fish (wahoo) served with the accompaniments my fish (sea bass) was to have but didn't notice until I had eaten it... sorry daughter #1!) Always a good time with great food. read more

Wow. Another wonderful meal here at Morgan's Mango! We made a reservation and were so glad we did because this place was really busy. Everything we ordered was amazing, but the red snapper (fish of the day) was PHENOMENAL. Please do yourself a favor and order it. The fish was flaky and melted on your tongue. Other things we ordered were the lamb lollipops (so good), coconut shrimp, grouper, seafood paella, empanadas, local wahoo (also the fish of the day), and a bunch of drinks. Dessert was delicious! And was consumed completely before any of us remembered to take a picture. But we had the white chocolate banana pecan bread pudding, chocolate torte with guava mousse, and of course the key lime pie. All were fantastic. Don't forget, parking here is a little bit difficult (not a lot of parking spots) so give yourself some extra time to drive around looking for a spot. read more

Made reservations a week ahead of time for a party of seven. 3 kids, 4 adults. As soon as we were sat the crew was pushing us out. Every 3 minutes it was how is everything (even when we hadn't gotten our drinks (which were watery) or our apps or dinner). Food was fine - not worth the cost - would have been interesting to see what the food would have been like on a night the head chef was working as we were constantly reminded by our waitress that we shouldn't expect much because the second team was on. I'm not 100% sure why an overcooked half war of corn is on every plate but if that's the go to ... ok I guess. Fewer than ten minutes after the mains arrived the waitress asked if we were ready for the check. Guys, this is fine for TGI fridays, not ok when we're dropping $400 for dinner. Been coming here since you opened, this is the last visit. read more

A true fine dining experience in Cruz Bay that is still laid back and casual as you'd expect on St John. Refined well crafted menu options that use local Caribbean ingredients, fabulous cocktails, and a nice sunset view from their elevated open air seating.

Great dinner on our last night. Sat at the bar and service was amazing. What a great spot!

Morgan's Mango opened on the island of Saint John in 1992. Their food is delicious and their service is exceptional. It is a restaurant that you have to put on your list of places to visit while in the island. Make a reservation or you will most likely be disappointed by either not getting in or not dining at the time that suits you best. The menu is fun and the atmosphere is relaxing. We started with the calamari. It is highly recommended and after trying it we wanted a second order. For dinner we decided to go with the grouper and a steak. The grouper is coconut panko encrusted and comes with a potato and yuca mash. The grouper was fresh, wonderfully seasoned and moist. I also had a side of plantains that were amazing. The steak was marinated in a pickapepper sauce and grilled to perfection. There is an impressive list of desserts but we were beyond full and had to pass. read more

Wow! This is a great restaurant. We went there for dinner two nights before we were leaving -and then cancelled the reservation we had for the next night--and went there again!! The people are wonderful-the food is delicious - fresh seafood- great lobster on Sat--lobster night. The key lime pie is to die for--and I usually don't even like it that much!! The ambiance is delightful - I cannot say enough positive things about this place. You just need to try it - and go in the beginning of your vacation, so you can keep going back. read more

The food here is good but overpriced for the quality. It's good, but not THAT good. One thing that I do like is that they have more Caribbean flavours vs. just catering to American tastes. Also, definitely save room to try the key lime pie! Cocktails: the Hugo cocktail is a frozen fruity delight! Not sure how much alcohol it really has but it tastes like a fruit smoothie. The Mango drink though was super strong! It tastes like a dash of mango purée and then pure liqueur. Morgan's Ceviche: Light and refreshing, this was a great appetizer to start off the dinner. Don't expect the Peruvian style, but the salsa & red snapper is still really good, plus they've got yuca chips! Coconut panko crusted grouper: This was one of the better dishes, but I don't know if it's really worth $45? It was light breaded and crisp, with a nice hint of coconut, but nothing else really stood out. The broccoli and mashed potatoes were the same for the steak dish, so there's no sense of 'pairing' flavors with the right food, more like here's your protein and some side veggies that we make for every dish. Chimi churri steak: Wow was I disappointed. I mean I know I shouldn't expect much for steak on an island, but for a $40 filet mignon I expected a little more tender or better quality cut. The meat was cooked medium rare as requested, but boy was it tougher than a chew toy. Unfortunately, because of COVID, they DON'T HAVE STEAK KNIVES. So I got a serious arm workout trying to cut each piece of this tough steak. The chimichurri sauce was probably the best part of this dish. Key lime pie: I would probably come back just to eat this, the graham crust and key lime was a perfect balance with the light mousse on top. It wasn't too sweet or heavy, and each bite made me crave more (though I do have a sweet tooth). read more
