Surly Cantina is leaving St. John.
On the popular Mexican restaurant's Facebook page, this message appeared over the weekend.
"The Surly Cantina is no longer. We are moving to Charlotte NC on Wednesday. We will miss all of our incredibly loyal fans. Who knows, maybe a Surly in NC. Best to all."
Comments made it clear that many folks will be sorry to see the cantina owners, Suzanne Schlessinger and Craig Sullivan, leave the US Virgin Islands.
Some posted saying they hoped the news was a late April Fools joke.
- Rosanne Perkins said, "That is a bummer!!! I was hoping to see you over the summer!!"
- Cici Davis said she was "Sad to hear" the news.
- Tiffany Gilbert Thomas sounded melancholy, writing, "The island of broken dreams."
