...if your home includes a five star chef and a five star staff. We have eaten there 5 of the 7 nights we were on island and each and every meal was prepared with love. The fresh fish- wahoo, snapper, mahi, mussels, and scallops were prepared perfectly. The bone in rib eye was mouth watering...we had steak and eggs for... More

Our ninth trip to St John but our first time to Aqua Bistro. Let's just say it will now be a regular on the future intineraries. Everything was better than expected. We were a party of five who each ordered appetizers, entrees, & desserts. We all sampled each others plates and raved about everything. I am not a big fish... More

The drinks were a bit watered down and the fish was good. It has a awesome patio. There is shopping around it. The bar has the best view.

During our recent trip to St. John we discovered Aqua Bistro. Ended up dining there 3 times; each time exceeding the prior visit. Staff was very attentive and friendly, food was exceptional. Would heartily recommend this establishment.

We stayed on the east end for a week and ate here twice. Both meals were fresh and reasonably priced. The atmosphere was great with a live steel drum one night. The service was friendly and prompt. Would definately recommend for a dinner in Coral Bay.

I think it might have been the owner, the service was great. The food was tasty but my mahi sandwich had a pretty thin filet. Really cute courtyard area. Hubby got jerk chicken sand. And he said it was too jerky and he loves spice.

We went here on our last night in Coral Bay. We had appetizers so we both ordered sandwiches, although the fresh catch sounded amazing. My fish sandwich was tasty but had an odd texture. I got a salad with homemade dressing which was very thin. We had drinks which were strong (not a bad thing!). Our server was spectacular! There... More

Just returned home after 10 awesome days in Coral Bay. Aqua Bistro is by far the best restaurant on the island Chef MJ cooked us a prime rib (wed. nights) that would "knock your socks off" it was fantastic as are all his creations. If you like grouper his parmesan crusted grouper is nothing short of "FABULOUS". The entire staff... More

Had a great dinner at the Aqua Bistro. Fish was fresh and the Key Lime pie was outstanding. Will be going back.

My husband and I have been to St John 4 times now. Our favorite place to eat by far is Aqua Bistro. The food is just delightful and everyone there is extremely friendly. The chef MJ is just so great that we asked him to cook for our small island wedding of 12 people. He agreed! I am not exaggerating... More
