Would like suggestion for a restaurant<BR>the night before our wedding on St. John.<BR>There will be a total of 6 guests. Would<BR>love gorgeous view, intimate and great food.<BR><BR>Suggestions have been:<BR>Chateau Bordeux<BR>Asolore<BR>Equater Rest. (Caneel Bay resort)<BR><BR>Please send your favorite.<BR>Thanks!

Stone Terrace...the best food on the island in my opinion.

My husband and I just returned from St. John this week. What a beautiful place, you will love it. We ate at all the restaurants you mentioned. Of those, our favorite was Asolare. Outstanding food, beautiful views, good service, and very quiet and elegant. Chateau Bordaux has incredible views from atop the mountain but we felt the food was just o.k. We also enjoyed Stone Terrace and Equator. Another great place to try is Paradiso. Food is incredible although they do not have ocean views. Lots of terrific places to try--enjoy!

Thanks for your replies. From searching<BR>the forums, it seems that Asolare is<BR>what we are looking for. Although,<BR>Chateau Bordeux sounds lovely, I think<BR>the drive may be a bit of a pain.<BR><BR>Asolare sounds like it's closer to town.<BR>Maybe when everyone leaves my hubby <BR>and I will try either the Equator or<BR>Chateau or maybe just cook a great<BR>dinner at our villa and enjoy our last<BR>evening in St. John.<BR><BR>Saw a special on the travel channel <BR>today on St. John. Trunk Bay looks<BR>like a great beach to get married on<BR>after 5:00pm when the crowds die down.<BR>Any other beaches anyone can suggest<BR>that has easy access?<BR><BR>Thanks!

i would definitely avoid Equator (very unoriginal and not very good food for a high price). do not miss stone terrace...the view is not what you would have at Asolare...but the food is spectacular as is the service. one of the best meals i have EVER had and we eat at great restaurants all the time.

Trunk Bay is a great place for the ceremony - if you wait until the evening. When the crowds die down, the sun starts to set and the air cools, it is magical. Other options are Hawksnest (a bit narrow though) and Cinnamon. I still think Trunk is the best. Asolare is definitely our fav. for food, atmosphere, location, views. Congrats!

My one thought about 5 PM on any beach is whether or not the noseeums will be coming out while you're out there. They can be uncomfortable companions. Anyone else have any thoughts on the combination of timing and the local biting pests?

Yes, I would like to hear more about<BR>the timing to have the wedding on<BR>the beach. The no-seeums seems to<BR>be a problem. Any suggestions of time<BR>of day would be most helpful. We<BR>were thinking around 5:00 or 5:30pm<BR>but am open to time.<BR><BR>The reason we picked this time because<BR>I believe Trunk Bay or the other<BR>beaches won't be as crowded.<BR><BR>Please send your viewpoint. Thanks
