we will be coming off the ferry from virgin gorda back into road town on 2/12 at 5;30pm any dinner recomendations for a family of 4 after a long day doing the baths and exploring the island? any help much appreciated?

For a great, reasonable, family meal Capriccio right across from the ferry dock is very hard to beat..terrific pizzas, pastas, soups and salads..

Love the pizza at Capriccio

We always try to do at least one dinner or lunch at C+F. Clarence can always to a superb barbecue chicken or fish!. Behind the Riteway

How old are the kids?

It really depends upon what you are looking for.

Capriccio Di Mare has already been mentioned and it's one of my favourites for Italian food and particularly the pizza.

For places all within walking distance of the ferry dock, try Bamboushay Lounge (local food such as roti and North American cuisine), Origin (Japanese - very nice), Pusser's (North American pub type food), The Watering Hole (Friday night is pizza night) and just a short cab ride away is Sharky's for Mexican food and pizza as well. They are all listed here and each is pretty casual, so you don't have to worry about what you look like.

There's also The Dove (French cuisine) which has just re-opened and a new place called Fantasia By Georgio (Italian food). Both of these places are a little fancy and unless you go shower and fix yourselves up, may not be appropriate for you if coming straight off the ferry.

this is great thank you for the recomendations! kids are actually more teenage 17 & 15

C&F. Always consistently good.
