Just wanted to see how your trip was in February? We are heading to the BVIs in June. Just curious how many things are open. Thanks for your help.

Is it possible for the original poster to update the initial post with all those that people report open?

It doesn't have to be the OP. Anyone willing to go through 9 pages of material to post a summary can do it.

The new Brandwine Rooftop location is now open in Road Town. Serving lunch Monday - Friday and tapas from 4:30pm Monday - Saturday. Closed Sunday. Have tried both evening tapas and lunch. Both were excellent with a nice wine list.

As of March Fort Burt Hotel was open for accommodations. No bar, no restaurant, WiFi only in the lobby, much of the A/C is not working. It's pretty ramshackle.

Thank you so much for the consolidated summary!

Could someone create a list of markets/grocery stores where one could stop to re-provision? (More interested in locations other than Road Town.).

Also, any options to do a load of laundry?

Thanks!

Apologies for not reading previous 9 pages but FYI, Bath and Turtle and Rendevous have relocated post Irma to the Chez Bamboo location and the sign notes Bath and Turtle and Rendevous. Food great still featuring BTR menu plus lengthy list of CB type entrees on the board

I can’t seem to edit my post, or I would add it to the list. We ate there in April, it was delicious.

A new restaurant to Cane Garden Bay, Bananas, opened a couple of weeks ago. They are located across from the car park next to Myett's.

I have not tried it personally yet, but I have heard good reports. I will try dinner later this week if anyone has questions.

I haven't been there to ask in person, but I did see a FB reply that indicated the rooms were open. Last I heard they were going to have about 1/2 the room ready for July.

We have eaten at Maria’s, and our neighbors, whose house is uninhabitable, stayed there for a week. It’s fine. That’s where the insurance adjusters stayed, so the hotel had a good revenue stream. In fact, we’re making our fifth post-Irma trip in September, and we’ve decided to arrive after dark and stay at Maria’s instead of overnighting on San Juan.

Not serving dinners?

Sorry if I missed something, but is Tony’s (Stanley’s) open next to Myetts? Or did that close as a result of the hurricanes?

Tony's is not open and if it does again, Tony will not be involved. He is building a new place in front of his house. On the road between Myett's and Bobby's.

Have not heard from Dennis and Mary for a while..anyone know if The Sugar Mill beach bar has reopened...I believe it should be by now as they were quite far along with it. Last word from Mary she was en route from Monaco back to the BVI's. They were expecting to reopen the Beach Bar in May/June..Anyone??

Thanks.
So if the bldg is still there next to Myett’s, is the new Banana place next to Tony’s bldg? Or on the other side of Myett’s? Thanks, just trying to picture it...

Banana's is not on the beach. It is across the street from the Cruise ship bathrooms.

Tony's new place is also across the street from the beach but closer to Bobby's old supermarket.

Bananas is great.. cute little indoor restaurant, nicely finished, A/C (no bugs!). Home made pizza was great, garlic shrimp great! Server was very sweet lady.

I don't think it's been mentioned, but Sugarmill's new Beach Restaurant and Bar, TRAMONTI, is now open. It's beautiful and the food and service were fantastic last week!
