We present to you the highly anticipated Seasonal Restaurant Closure List! In spite of all the many obstacles faced by our restaurants this year, we are happy to share that most will remain open during off-season, which typically runs until Thanksgiving week.
Early next week we anticipate – or at least our fingers are crossed – that our Governor will lift the policy requiring restaurants to remain closed except for take-out, and allow them to reopen for full service dining again.
The restaurant owners who plan to stay open say they are doing so as long as it makes sense, and is in the best interest of their employees, our guests, and our community. Of course, like with everything in 2020, we are all just taking it day by day!

If we missed any of your favorites or if you have additional information, please let us know!
The testing has now proven to be flawed.
This virus moved thru the VI last spring from the cruise ships and visitors. Many of us thought it was just the flu and moved on.
We must save our island and open back up now.
Protect the old and weak, but we can’t shut down each flu season. We have treatments and beds.
Please open now.
The ONLY way to combat this, and it will never happen, is to quarentine the entire territory, test every single person and separate the infected from the rest and only allow those that passed the test to carry on as if nothing changed. Anything short of this is politics and not science. One could also infect EVERYBODY, and then let god figure it out. That would also work.
News of St. John, you are the pulse of what all of us locals can count on day to day! Much thanks for that. My name is Kim and my son and I own the Salty Mongoose in coral bay. Can we be put on the list if restaurant/bar open for the season with a menu of food and beverages to go!
Absolutely, Kim! Salty Mongoose has been added to the list. We are so excited about the opening of your restaurant!
How about Ekaete Pink Corner ?
