I'm back!!! My husband and I are back in St. John for two weeks to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We usually bring family with us, but it's just the two of us this time. We have a ton of dinner reservations, including some new places. We got to the island really early yesterday, too early to pick up our Jeep or get into our rental house, so we of course went to find food while we waited. We had our luggage, so ended up just going to High Tide since they have a place to stash your bags while you eat. Restaurant view
Lunch menu. Pretty standard stuff
We got the the blackened fish tacos and blackened shrimp tacos to split, and one of us got fries and the other got salad so we could split those too. Shrimp
Fish
While we were at lunch we got a text that we could get in to our house four hours early. Since we had been up since 3AM, this was most welcome news. Here's the view from our rental house
After a nap, we headed in to town for some light bites. The restaurants were not crowded, but there was nowhere to park! I have no idea where everyone was. We ended up having to park in a really expensive lot that I had vowed to never use again, which was annoying. We did not want a full dinner, so ended up at Longboard, which had small plates you can share. Menu pictures
I forgot to take a photo of the cocktail menu. They have some really interesting choices here. My husband's sunshower cocktail (grilled lemon vodka, elderflower liqueur, basil, cucumber, house lemonade, bitters).
We split the shrimp seveche
the shrimp tostones
and the spicy tuna lettuce wraps
It was all light, fresh and tasty, just what we needed.
