The lime in the coconut is the way to go... I mean there is a song about that shit. The food was great and portions were huge. No way I could finish my paella after having drinks and appetizers. Same for my wife's main dish, had the steak, which was enormous! I don't think you can go wrong with anything on their menu read more

5 star fish. Best fish on the island! Wow, they are back and better than ever. We dined last night. The restaurant looks amazing. So, we were told we didn't need reservations anywhere right now. False. Make a reservation here. It was packed. My husband got quite upset. We don't mind waiting of course but it became rather obvious that others without reservations who came behind us were seated ahead of us. We were the very last to be seated. We're just returning tourists, I guess. Seemed like a lot of well-known locals this evening. I could gripe a lot (and hope management takes heed ) and my husband would complain indeed, but forget about it. The food is amazing!! We had the empanada de la casa (house special of the day) $9, a beef and cheese, with the flakiest most melt-in-your mouth crust. And a fresh little citrus slaw salad that balances the empanada perfectly. Then, we asked our waiter if we could do the coconut shrimp as an appetizer and they said sure, no problem. Thank you for that. Four perfectly crispy coconutty delicious shrimp served with a spicy banana dipping sauce $16 and worth every penny. Onto dinner. My husband ordered panko coconut crusted grouper $40. A nice size portion, crispy on the outside, moist and flaky on the inside, drizzled with a lemongrass reduction. These indescribable mashed potatoes with an island succulence I can't quite put my finger on. Addicting. The only downfall were the undercooked Brussels sprouts. I had the fresh catch $40, one of 3 selections, striped sea bass with a chimichurri sauce (parsley, garlic, olive oil). The fish was juicy, flaky, tender, and super fresh. One of the most enjoyable fish dishes I have ever had. One of the best fish preparations on the island, of not the best. Paired with authentic Spanish beans and chick peas and Spanish rice. We were stuffed yet we couldn't pass up a taste of the almond joy bread pudding, which we wished had been served much warmer. We took it to go and enjoyed it hot as it should have been, for breakfast the next day. We will be back with a reservation. Update: we did come back with a reservation for my birthday March 23rd. They were out of empanadas and I made a terrible sad noise when they told me. We had lamb lollipops and tuna tartare. Very good. Tuna tartare immaculately fresh but we found two tendons which should not have been there and the mango vinaigrette was absent. We still enjoyed the raw greasiness of the tuna with squeezed lemons. I ordered surf and turf -filet with chimichurri amazing! Fresh swordfish with mango rum sauce. Wow! Another spectacular meal and I am picky. $70 My husband had the coconut panko encrusted grouper with lemongrass reduction again $40. Love this dish. Dessert was key lime pie, good, but not great like Ocean Grill. And a new flourless chocolate torte. No, not good. We took these to go so no sending it back. It was my birthday bummer. No free birthday dessert here either, oh well. Things must be tight. Still 5 stars! The strongest recommendation I have is the drinks are not very good. They don't taste very good. Separate easily, little to no alcohol. Please, management, seriously, revisit the bar drink recipes and techniques. There's a reason people leave so much of their drinks behind and don't order seconds. It's definitely not the price. But that fish, chimichurri, those sides my goodness!!! read more

Happy Birthday to me!!! What did they get me??? DIARRHEA!! My wife planned this dinner before we even flew to St John. I couldn't wait. We both ordered the Diarrhea bisque...err I mean Shrimp/bacon bisque. It had a weird taste, but not quite as weird as Caribbean lobster. This was my first time eating a Caribbean lobster and probably my last. After a few bites I tried to squeeze the hell out of that lemon wedge to get every drop on the meat. My wife thought it was weird tasting too. Not sure if it was how they cooked it or that's how it's supposed to taste. Either way, it was gross. I started breaking out in a sweat after the bisque and few bites of the lobster. As I sat in the restaurant bathroom I was paranoid that some kid would open the door. The bathrooms are adjacent to the dining tables and are individual bathrooms. One false move and everybody in the restaurant will see you releasing a grumpy. When I got back to the table my wife said she had to go!!! We got the check from the waiter and hauled ass. Almost ran over a couple deer driving like a maniac back to the cottage. My wife thinks it was food poisoning but I informed her it was merely the diarrhea bisque. read more

Morgan's Mango - Diarrhea bisque - Seafood Near Me - Saint John, Virgin Islands

We made reservations at Morgan's Mango for our dinner cruise from St. Thomas to St. John and I'm SO glad we did. This was my favorite dinner of our whole trip. The atmosphere is laid back but sophisticated and has the island feel without being too beachy. Our waitress was very pleasant and ensured our night went perfectly. For drinks we ordered the Lovango Lime, which was nice and refreshing for a warm summer evening, the Hugo, 1989, which was sweet like an alcoholic fruit smoothie, and the Jamaican Planters Punch, which was sweet-ish but very strong. We ordered one of the appetizer specials, I believe it was a ceviche-type dish served in plantain cups, and it was delicious. We all agreed that we could have each ordered that as our main dish and we would have been very satisfied. For the meal I ordered the coconut panko encrusted fresh grouper with yuca/potato mash and plantains as the sides. Thinking about it now has me about to get on an airplane just so I can taste it again. Everything about it was absolutely to die for. The fish was fresh and flaky, with a sweet coconutty crust. The yuca/potato mash was like mashed potatoes but a billion times better. The mash was seasoned to utter perfection. The plantains were soft and tasty and felt like a little bit of dessert with my main dish. My fiancé ordered the coconut shrimp with rice and beans and corn as the sides. The coconut shrimp was exactly as you dream of coconut shrimp to be on an island. Truly delectable. It was difficult to not take his plate and eat both meals! The rice and beans and corn were...you guessed it...delicious. For dessert we ordered the key lime pie and it was out of this world. The mousse on top instead of meringue was such a neat change from a typical key lime pie. Everything about Morgan's Mango was just a dream, I highly recommend giving it a try. read more

We had an excellent experience at Morgan's Mango. It was hot so we got frozen drinks and they were good. Then we got the Malbec mussels for an appetizer, and they were truly outstanding! The broth was so good we ordered extra bread to dip in it. Then we got the seafood paella and the grilled Mahi Mahi for entrees. Both were delicious! The paella had tons of seafood in it, and the mango rum sauce on the Mahi was perfect. Service was good too. We would definitely go back here again. read more

"Quaint" romantic place for dinner with a great view! We sat by the balcony and have a great view of the island across from the water. Ambiance is an elegant Caribbean feel which is also reflected in the menu. We had the mussels, paella- which was creamier and richer than what I am used to but still delicious, and their version of churrasco-filet mignon with chimichurri sauce. Could tell the seafood was fresh and also well prepared! Great service! Hope to be back someday! read more

Morgan's Mango - 2 and 2 1/2 lbs lobsters. Saturday lobster special. - Seafood Near Me - Saint John, Virgin Islands

We ate at Morgan's Mango in St John's (virgin islands) twice on our vacation...5 star all the way around--we were lucky on Saturday night that we had reservations for Lobster Night--what a treat! Cliff and Cody devoured last morsel of the lobster. The mark-up for one of our fave wines (The Prisoner) was minimal, which was another bonus. Emily and I had the seafood paella (we really should have ordered one and split it, there was so much of it). The cherry on the top was their key lime pie (made in house). We had to go back a 2nd time for the ambiance, the food and the dessert. Oh, and did we mention the service--both nights we had the best servers on the island! The owner (Carlos) came by our table a couple times to check on us--you won't meet a nicer man! read more

One of the best on the island. Staff is attentive and can handle large groups and a full restaurant. Food is excellent. Reservations are a must. read more

Staff service and food were excellent. JC our bartender/server made the experience great.

Excellent service! Surf and turf special was outstanding. Key Lime the best on St John.

Food is pretty solid for the island . Nice upscale feel . We had filet mignon and fish dishes . All well prepared . Ended up waiting 35 min for 3 slices of key lime pie to go . We understand "island time " but that was a bit ridiculous. On a positive note , the key lime pie is delicious and decadent. Hard to get reservations here as well . Had to call 10-15 times over various days/ times for someone to answer phone . read more

Returned to this restaurant after 25 years and it was as good as I remember. Keeping my rating from a 5 was that the calamari was dry and rough, and the scallop appetizer came out on the cold side. Cocktails were disappointing. However the main dishes were fabulous. I would recommend this place, but keep in mind that it is pricey. read more

One of the best meals on this lovely island. Make sure to come here for their lobster night! it's one of the few places that I'd recommend a reservation Also they make a mean bushwacker ;) read more

A beautiful restaurant located right by Mongoose Junction. The service was great & the food too! I recommend the poke bowl for a shareable appetizer & the swordfish voodoo style, which is comparable to a blackened seasoning! read more

Nice little restaurant in St. John. Service was great and options were good. Was looking forward to having steak and lobster only to find out they only serve lobster on Tuesdays and Saturdays which was a bummer. Ended up having their special which was Tuna over bacon fried rice. It was pretty good. Drinks were tasty and the appetizers were delicious! read more

Had one of the most incredible meals here last night. The paella was out of this world. The cocktails were on point. The staff was very very attentive. Fast forward to today: Came in to order 3 deserts to go. It's a tough order, I know. Bar staff berated me for taking a single spot at the bar while masked because I didn't have a reservation. (I understand that my meager to go order is taking away from a solo spot at bar, but I digress.). I move to end of bar and wait for 25 minutes for the bartender to meet me that has greeted 4 new guests since me sitting. She says "busy night, right?" I say not busy enough for the service I've gotten. I'd like to order 3 deserts please. And she then asks if I'd like a beverage while I wait. My response due to the horrible service was "only if you'll cover it to make up for this situation". She politely declined. My family and I came here the night before with the most incredible experience ever. The bar staff in one night changed the feelings and chances of recommending this place in 40 minutes. read more

Oh I loved Morgan's mango! We had reservations and were seated right away. There was a power outage that day but the restaurant had a generator and we were so grateful to be there. We had delicious frozen drinks that everyone loved. For my entree I had the vegan coconut paella which was unforgettably awesome. I wouldn't have imagined we had room for dessert but they were soooo yummy and we tried several. Most memorable was key lime pie. I cannot wait to return one day. A beautiful restaurant - wonderful and attentive wait staff - amazing kitchen (delicious and efficient). I don't know what more one could ask for - Thank you Morgan's Mango! read more

After waiting an hour, the food arrived cold. The service was terrible and the owner, who refused to do anything, was rude and obnoxious! I would put this down as one of the worst dining experiences ever! read more

I do not understand the hype. We had much better food at more affordable prices other places around town. It was nice for a group dinner but the drinks were overly sugary and the seafood dish I had was underwhelming. It surprisingly lacked flavor. The atmosphere was lovely tho, and the service was exceptional. It is not a place I would suggest to go back to but wouldn't reluctantly join friends either. read more

Went for dinner with a party of 8. Very busy place, as most places on the island are. Service was good (not great). The 4 guys went with the cheeseburger. Wasn't that good. The cheese was Brie. Not exactly a classic. It was kind of bitter. Not one guy said they enjoyed it. The ladies had various dishes and all of them had no complaints. Quite a few places downtown to choose from so don't know if I would rush to come back. read more

I went to Morgan's Mango for dinner with friends. The decor and ambiance are nice. It's inside and open air at the same time. And, it's clean. They did a great job of rebuilding following the hurricanes. The art is done by local artists. The service was good & friendly. The wine list was decent and offered numerous wines by the glass. In addition there were the requisite named cocktails on the menu. The menu had a nice selection of items to please any palate. We ordered the mussels (they were out), the calamari, a broccoli cheddar soup, 2 cheeseburgers medium rare, 2 catch of the day dinners: scallops in a ginger soy sauce and key lime pie. Everything was delicious. The soup was super. The key lime pie was not traditional nor 'limey', but good. The scallops were sweet and tender. The burgers done perfectly. We had La Crema Chardonnay, Oregon Reisling, French Rose, Caipiroska, and Island Hoppin' IPA to accompany. One thing we did not like was that they still serve drinks with plastic straws. This was a disturbing surprise. We hope they will stop, and I shudder to imagine the to-go containers in light of this. No single use plastic. We will definitely return and I recommend this restaurant. read more

Unbelievable atmosphere and food. Had the lamb chops which were to die for. The key lime pie is immaculate and the service was top tier. Definitely will be back. read more

This was our first time at Morgan's Mango, as we had never fit it in on our prior trips to St. John. We made a reservation and were immediately impressed with the atmosphere. Gorgeous open air establishment that never got too hot, despite the high temps outside. We didn't have any issues with bugs here either at sunset. Service started off a little slow, but they were busy. Food and drinks were excellent, prepared and presented beyond our expectations. The in house gnocchi was sooo good, we took what couldn't be finished with us! Would certainly recommend for a nice romantic dinner, but do not see this being a fun place for a family with young kids. We will return! read more

Slow service. Our waitress Nicci was obnoxious to put it bluntly! We waited a 1/2 hour to order drinks! When they arrived one of the drinks had a fly in it! We were still charged for it! Very disappointing for such a high quality establishment! Main meal - Grouper was fantastic! We then waited another 1/2 hour to get the bill. We have been going to Morgan's Mango for many years, not sure if we'll return! read more

I asked the concierge at our hotel to recommend a casual, inexpensive restaurant. He informed me nothing on the island was inexpensive (i should have known this after just 1 day), but thought Morgan's Mango would be our best bet. We dined here on Christmas and it was quite busy...and festive. I had almost forgot it was Christmas (spending it in the Caribbean will do that to you), but was quickly reminded thanks to the santa hats worn by all the waiters here. The cocktails looked great, but I was in a wine mood...and enjoyed a lovely glass of pinot grigio. The menu was full of seafood deliciousness. We started with the calamari, which I enjoyed so much that I hardly left any for my husband. One of my New Years resolutions is to share my food. For my entree I ordered the catch of the day (seabass) and asked for it to be prepared voodoo style. Voodoo Style= spicy black magic seasoning and island salsa. It's light, delicious and I didn't find it to be overly spicy. The hubby ordered the voodoo snapper. He gave me a few bites (he's better when it comes to sharing) and I think it may have been even better the seabass. It was a beautiful night and I think we would have been satisfied with any meal just sitting at Morgan's Mango, but the food turned out to be pretty good too. As our concierge warned us this wasn't inexpensive, but it did actually turn out to be our most inexpensive dinner on the island. read more
