![]() “The best place to eat on St. John”
Ocean GrillWe enjoyed both dinner and lunch at the Ocean Grill on our
recent visit to St. John. This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member
and not of TripAdvisor LLC. “Ocean Grill was the Culinary find of our most recent trip to St. John”Ocean GrillWe were on St. John May 9-14, 2010. We ate well, including Asolare, Zozo's, Rhumb Lines, La Tapa, and Ocean Grill. We had eaten at most before, but not Ocean Grill. Main courses were delicious and had surprisingly large portions as compared to others. THE DESSERTS WERE THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD, ANYWHERE. We went back a 2nd night just for dessert. All of our restaurant choices were great, but Ocean Grill was a surprise and stood out. “No doubt this would be top 5 in Cruz Bay if it were right on the water”
Ocean GrillWe went the first week of May and probably had our best meal - better than Zozo's, The Equator and Morgan's Mango. Not that we had a bad meal at those places, its just that the quality and service here were clearly better. The setting is really nice but I think it gets a little over-looked because its set on the interior of Mongoose Junction. But the architecture and materials used are really cool and its not like you're sitting "inside". Ocean GrillThis was the third restaurant my wife and I ate at in St John. The mussel are sauted in a ginger coconut broth with garlic and onions. The dish had layers and layers of flavor and at the same time the bread for sopping up the juice gave it a great comfort food feel. As for the mussels they were very tender and fresh. I had the seared salmon for dinner and it was very fresh, light and crispy at the edges. The roasted eggplant verde added a rustic note that paired well with the petite sirah. Lastly, all of our food was hot, cooked to perfection and a generous portion. “Fine dining, beautiful atmosphere and large portions. No faults.”
Ocean GrillDecided to dine here last night and was very
pleased. It's situated in Mongoose Junction, in an open courtyard with
tall trees and a jungle feel. If you are in St. John for any legnth of time, do yourself a favor and visit Ocen Grill in Mongoose Junction. Dinner was awesome, but the desserts were to die for. They were some of the best desserts I have ever had. We were wishing we had more time so we could go back for more.
