Restaurant Reservations Needed in St. John?
The last time we were in St. John was in 2009 and in August so I can't remember if we needed restaurant reservations for places in Cruz Bay. This time we're going in January when the island will be more crowded. Thoughts?

I agree with roamsaround. Depends on where you go. I would make a reservation at the high end places or if you have a large party. The day before would probably be fine. I just got back. Ate at The Lime Inn, Rhumblines, High Tide, Da Livio and a new place called Virgin Fire. All were excellent meals. If you like thin crust pizza definitely try Da Livio's. Delicious. They have a wood burning stove on the patio. The old JJ's reopened right after I left and has been renovated. Getting great reviews so far. Apparently good breakfast fare, now called Cruz Bay Landing.

In the winter in the Caribbean, it is always a good idea to call ahead. In August, if the place is open, you are usually welcomed with open arms. In season, many of the good places are jammed and walk-ins may get turned away.

We were there last March. Had luck getting into every restaurant with no reservation except for Zozo's at Gallows Point. There you have to reserve a seat at the bar because the view is so great!
FYI - our absolutely favorite place was FATTY CRAB. Very different, fresh vibe, upscale but very eclectic food and actually reasonable prices.

Zozo's is a nice place to eat and a resv. only takes a call. It is very popular with the regular snow birds from the main land who spend winters in STT and take the ferry over to SJ. Hence the need for the call!
