First Night Restaurant Recommendations in Cruz Bay?
Hello Again, Fellow STJ addicts -
(You can tell we're getting close to our visit. I can't think about anything else, and here I am posting a second item in as many days. I'm sure I'll be back to lurking soon though!)
For our trip in a few weeks, we'll probably get in late afternoon, and to be courteous to our greeter, we'll likely NOT shop for food until after we get to the villa (which will be up on Bordeaux Mtn.). But we will plan on returning to Cruz Bay to have dinner and then hit the Starfish Market for our "big shop" of the trip.
I'm curious to learn about some of your favorite Cruz Bay restaurants. What I'm thinking of for our first night is a "not over the top" kind of meal, rather something nice but low-key. Not necessarily the BBQ truck, and Later in the week we will likely eat at Zozo's, so not there either.
Any suggestions you can give us?
Thanks!!

I second Banana Deck. It is in our top 3 favorites and the atmosphere (outside on a deck) is great for a first night on island (or any night!). We usually make it there twice per trip. The garlic ribeye is amazing.
A few years ago I would have said Morgan's Mango but their food hasn't been as good our last handful of trips.

John and I usually go to Rhumblines on our first night. It has a very relaxing atmosphere--in an outdoor courtyard surrounded by lots of plants, comfy cushions, tables not jammed together, low lighting, and fairly quiet (except on live music nights), all of which is nice when you are arriving exhausted from travel.
They have a pupu menu of bite-sized items to share, and small plates and salads etc. on the regular menu as well, which is good for when you are tired and not feeling up to a full meal.

It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.
