My favorite restaurants are: La Tapa, Morgan's Mango, Lime Inn, Sun Dog Cafe (lunch), Rhumb Lines, Zozo's.
If you want to explore St John, you will want a car. Taxis charge per person, which will add up quickly for 10 people going somewhere. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

NCSailor said: Cafe Roma for Italian (if they are open). They weren't open Saturday, but they at least seemed to have furniture in. Getting closer,it seems.

Not sure of your exact dates, but check out www.seestjohn.com they show upcoming live music/events. We really like steel pan music,but it's hard to find in the summer months when we go. If you like Reggae ask around about InnerVisions, they are AWESOME!!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />

I agree with Nutmeg but would include Cafe Roma. The Beach Bar not only has a great Mahi sandwich but their Rib Eye steak sandwich makes your your mouth water, then the Tuna DOWN!! On the South side the best Fish&Chips is at the Shipwreck Landing (big tender Chunks of fish fried in a light batter) And of Course Skinny Legs for Burgers and Mahi sandwiches and well poured cocktails <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" /> Also the service is better then most islands.

I'm with Jay on the Beach Bar. Great view, but everything else is so-so.
The new place is Cruz Bay Landing (JJ's former spot). Had breakfast there yesterday and it was okay. Great people watching- ferry comings and goings. But it was expensive for what you get. $9 for a small bowl of yogurt and a few cut up fruits, $3 for coffee. Never was a Woody's fan, so don't suppose we will go there at night.

SXMWendell, the Banana Deck is where Crash Landing was, its a great spot for big groups. High Tide is great for big groups as well with beach-side table service.
Anon mentioned Hercules, which is where we get our Johnnycake and Pate to go. Sogos has great West Indian food, Butter Conch and such, but the ambience is spartan.
Cheers, RickG

Wait a second!
"First Trip to St.John.Will be there for 4 nights in late January in Cruz Bay area.Will be between 6-10 of us. I'm looking for fun places, great ambiance and of course good food. What are the favorite restaurants on the island? I know it's subjective but all recommendations are appreciated"
You didn't say anything about expense. EVERYTHING in the VI is too expensive. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
I think Zozo's and the new Ocean 360 are the most expensive places on St John. They are more like splurge places for many.
