    I'll be honest, we only had drinks at Phil's (1/1/24), but they were awesome! And we got to see…read morelots of food coming out of Chef Charles's kitchen, so we'll be back on our next visit for the full treatment! Zach, the guy waiting all the tables and running the bar, was gracious to a fault. We had a huge mango margarita that we split, then followed that with a blended raspberry margarita. Both were amazing, fresh, and delicious. Despite being so busy, Zach took a few minutes to share his love of tequila, and showed us their growing collection. It was a great way to finish our evening. We'd go back for the bar alone, but as I said, the food looked great, so we'll probably have dinner, as well.

    Can I give 0 stars? We came upon this spot and wanted a quick bite before we went back to St…read more Thomas. We sat down and she took drink orders. We saw a roach on the wall and that should've had us running, but we were outside so we let that go. We waited so long and when we asked how much longer because we had to catch the ferry back, the cook began yelling loudly and slamming things. When we got the bill she charged us $10 for chips and salsa when menu said 5 dollars also it was like a side of salsa versus an order! The waitress was so rude and since we waited so long and took it to go they charged us 1 dollar/ box. LAST BUT NOT LEAST I ordered an empanada and I what appeared to be a quesadilla. When I told her this wasn't right she kept insisting it was intact an empanada. All in all one of the worst places, atmosphere and service I have ever seen or have been to.

I ordered the Coco Berry Cream ($12.37) which was slightly sweet and refreshing with berry and coconut flavors. I also got three tacos ($19.59) served with tomato, onion, jalapenos, and cheese. The tacos were flavorful and the ingredients tasted fresh, especially with their house salsa on the side. I also grabbed a bottle of water ($3.09). One thing to note is that 18% gratuity is automatically added to all checks, which is common on the island. Also the billl is slightly less if pay by cash. They also had some interesting specials posted like two pork belly tacos with rice and beans for $22, and margaritas like a Spicy Pomegranate Lunazul Margarita ($15) and Orange Cranberry Margarita ($13). Overall, the food was tasty, the atmosphere was fun, and the service was smooth.

    This place was so flippin' cool... but absolutely terrifying for a less-than-confident swimmer to…read morereach. We were taken out on the shuttle and told we'd need to swim the final 10 yards or so. As someone who didn't exactly grow up in the water, that was easier said than done. I even had a floatie for assistance, but it didn't inspire much confidence. It was the longest two minutes of my life. To make matters even more exciting, the water was pretty choppy that day. To be clear, this is completely a "me" problem and not a reflection of the establishment at all. I just hope that one day there's an easier option for land-loving odd ducks like myself to enjoy the experience without convincing ourselves we're about to become part of a maritime rescue operation. Once we made it, though, it was absolutely worth it. We ordered a couple of margaritas that were fresh, strong, and delicious. I had the Spiced Tuna Taco and my wife ordered the Shrimp Taco. We absolutely inhaled them. I would've happily ordered several more rounds if I hadn't been mentally preparing for the swim back to the shuttle. The vibe was fun, energetic, and laid-back. Being from St. Louis, it was a happy coincidence that they were playing Nelly and Chingy all afternoon, which made me feel oddly at home. All in all, this was a stellar experience, and I would absolutely go back. I may just want to log a few more hours of swimming practice first.

    I was worried the tacos wouldn't be good and people go for the floating restaurant experience, but…read morethis place was amazing! We got a bunch of different tacos to try, but I would say the two short ribs were definitely my favorites (although they were all good and I would happily eat again). The tacos were large so we were able to do two per person as a meal and felt pretty good. They are pricy by way of tacos, but it is well worth it for the experience and the flavor of the food. We took a charter out to the restaurant which I recommend doing, and shared a lily pad with another family (they are first come first served). Our waitress Erica was very attentive and helped us with everything we needed! Definitely a must visit if you are in St. John. Everyone loves this place and now I can see why!
