STJ Speakeasy (Formerly STJ Hideaway)

"STJ Speakeasy is newer to the island but their team includes many restaurant veterans of St. John, bringing the best of the best together for one very special dining experience. From the atmosphere, to the delicious food, fresh & tasty drinks, this spot has it all! We really enjoyed our dinner! We opted for the tasting menu which was so fun to be able to experience a little bit of everything off the menu! We look forward to our next dinner at the STJ Speakeasy!"

"On a recent trip to St. John, we had several options for dinner one evening. On the recommendation of our innkeeper, we decided to give Speakeasy a go. So glad we did! Don’t be fooled by appearances… a couple of decorated shipping containers with a roof thrown up in between is what you see. Once there, however, you’ll find one of the best restaurants on St. John! We had a delightful dinner, sitting at the bar, waited on by a real character, who said her name was “Mary” that night. She was fantastic! Lots of locals there, regulars, always a good sign! Great view of the sunset from the entire place, and our seats at the bar. The drinks and food were both fantastic! Creative craft cocktails are the star! The menu is local, but chef-inspired infusions of incredible flavors. We shared ceviche, fresh catch and the truffled foie gras… all were simply delicious! Key lime pie to die for! We’ll definitely be back next time we visit the island! Highly recommend Speakeasy!"

"This was a beautiful, cozy experience. I sat at the bar (for one) and Kim the bartender was very attentive and knowledgeable. I got the tasting menu and was very specific about my dietary restrictions (pescatarian, no red meat, no shellfish). Each of the five courses was a menu item, beautifully plated, exquisitely delicious, and so tasty I would take a bite and just sit in wonder over how delicious it was. The music was not so loud that people had to shout to be heard. It was an entirely wonderful experience. Chef Vinny even walks the plates out to each table himself, talking with each guest and explaining the food. He asked me personally about my tastes in dessert and brought me the most amazing strawberry sorbet."
