Let's all spend some money - go out to dinner!

We went to Breezes. The food was delicious!

H2O Friday; food, drinks and service were great.

My son and DIL are bringing another couple with them to Cottages next month to help out as much as they can.

Pizza at East End Pizza at Divi.$20. it was pretty good pizza.

Great post Linda! (tu)

Bombi did you meet Melissa at East End Pizza?

Is Off the Wall open? We tried to go there last weekend, and they were closed. Tried to call, no answer. So, we drove all the way out to the East End to try the pizza. Nice looking place, etc., There weren't but a couple of customers, and we didn't stay because the music was not to our liking, and it was way too loud. Had to be for the pleasure of the employees, not the customers. The young employees don't want to hear it, but you have got to turn the music down to a level where people can carry on a conversation comfortably. Particularly if the music is something that appeals to a limited audience, like rap, hip hop (if that's what it's called) or something like that. I've taken my money and gone somewhere else many times while the restaurant sits empty, with music loving bartenders.

Yearasta, Yes she is very personable and friendly. She does a great job of making you feel welcome. Next time the calzones.

Yes, Off the Wall is open. It was apparently packed on Friday night...bingo night.

great idea Linda,
I will be back in 9 days to help do my part.:@)

Pick your three favorite restaurants and patronize them regularly. Times are tough and only the strong are going to survive so help your favorites be a survivor. Not everyone is going to make it.

Sidebar: Why do bartenders insist on filling a glass to the brim with ICE? When I request just a little ICE I still get a lot. I don't mind paying $6.00 bucks for a drink but six bucks for ICE and little beverage is ridiculous.

Great idea, help the restaurants & save electric from the stove not to mention, no dishes!!

My favorites so far! I havent ventured to restaurants in fredericksted yet, soon!

$$ Bombay Club: Stuffed crabs, onion soup, escargot, chicken fried steak, and seafood pasta dishes to die for!

$$ Pelican Cove- backwards wings
$$ Smugglers Cove- OMG Philly Cheesesteak

Victor Menchos-best sandwiches
The health food place in town(forgot name)
Pickled greek- anybody been?
No Bones-?

Excellent list Cory! If you like Quality's Cubano make sure you go to Victor Menchos - so good!

East End Pizza is so good! I also have to add to the list Salud (make sure you have the portobello soup) and Ana's in Gallow's Bay (I think they're closed for the next two weeks but when they reopen go there - love their muffins).

Any place have good chili? This is definitely a soup or chili kind of day.

Juanita,
The next time you come out to East End Pizza (Im hoping you do) if you have a problem with the music or the music level or anything for that matter please come let me know. I don't know if I was there or not that night, I'm assuming I wasn't. I know the cooks sometimes have a habit of getting carried away with what they like to hear. Especially when I am not there, but this is the type of feedback I need....thank you...Melissa

Bombi next time you come out, say hi, or anyone else that come out! Feedback appreciated both positive and negative...Melissa

Actually Cheesburgers has the best chilli in my book.

Love east end pizza! Really good.

I don't think Dashi deserves three $$$, just depends on how hungry you are. Some need one roll some need 4. It doesnt seem anymore expensive to me then an average stateside sushi place, which is nice for the pocket book. Cant WAIT until they open Oct 21!!!

If you like local food try Harveys on company, its the best and then villa morales (west end).

YEP Harvey's is really good!, the best chicken IMO is La Reine Chicken shack...can't beat the 1/2 chicken and johnny cake for $5. Juni's also has good local food.

Hi Melissa,

We will definitely try again. I don't think you were there because I don't recall seing a female at all. I think it was last Sunday mid to late afternoon. Thanks for the post.

Cohiba is for all practical purposes defunct. They are open to sell off their remaining inventory of soft drinks and booze. No food.

Jim

Can't miss me, I'm the only blonde. I went in at 5pm last Sunday. Come see me next time, I'll make it right.

Ditto on Cheeseburgers chilli - yum!! Just got home from lunch there - always great!

The restaurants on STX are really suffering because of the slow season and economic downturn. I think now is the time to spend some cash. If you can afford it, go out to your favorite restaurant, have dinner/lunch, visit with your neighbors, tell the owner/operator how much you appreciate them. Help them get through this rough patch.

Believe me, if we were there, we would!
