STT dining, tours to Virgin Gorda

We will be at the Ritz in St. Thomas the 4th of July long weekend next summer -- are there tour boats from Red Hook to Virgin Gorda (especially The Baths) ? We haven't been to USVI for 15 years -- what are the best restaurants now on St. Thomas, either in Charlotte Amalie or Red Hook area ? We have heard about Havana Blue and Tavern on the Waterfront, as well as Craig & Sally's, Romano's, Herve's, Duffy's -- anything else?

take a look at www.newhorizonscharters.com they have a wonderful tour on a cigarette boat that includes the baths, pussers for lunch on marina cay, snorkel at monkey point and drinks at the soggy dollar. this tour goes from the sapphire marina just a mile or so further than red hook from the ritz. great boat. great staff. good painkillers... (if this appeals book asap as they tend to book up months ahead)
also on the road from ritz to red hook turn is a road into secret harbour resort. try out their restaurant the blue moon cafe.
on the road into coki world is tony romano's italian. reservation required.
havana blue is not to be missed. reserve a window side table and watch the moon rise from the ocean.
you can take the ferry from red hook to st. john and on to virgin gorda for $60/pp takes 11/2+hrs each way. leaves red hook thurs and sun only at 8am and leaves vg at 3pm.
i know there is another almost as fast boat that heads to vg but i don't know its name. sailing would take forever.

We did the New Horizons II trip also and really enjoyed it. We booked 3 months out.

We did the AI plan at the Wyndham, but did venture to Paradise Point and Duffy's Love Shack. Try Paradise Point on Wed. night when they have their live band. They serve bar type food and have drinks specials.

We only drank at Duffy's. The place was packed with a youngercrowd. The "lime in dee coconut" was very good.

Alexander's Bella Blu also in Frenchtown.
I've had good meals at East End Cafe in Red Hook.
Old Stone Farm House on the north side which everyone seems to rave about. Expensive.
Haven't been there in a while but Room with a View in Charlotte Amalie in Bluebeard's did have good food when I've been there as well as a really spectacular view.
