The Inn at Tamarind Court’s courtyard dining area.

Looking for a new place to grab dinner when you’re visiting St. John? Well if you like spice and Cajun cooking, you’re going to want to check out the new Cajun-style menu over at the Inn at Tamarind Court.

Chef Isaac Buckner has been heading up the team over at Tamarind Inn for the past few months, and the reviews have been amazing! He was crowned King of the Wing over in St. Thomas and even won a chicken wing contest up in Buffalo, New York a few years back. This man knows spice!

Chef Isaac Buckner

Isaac is serving a variety of Cajun dishes including Cajun Ratatouille, French Onion Meatloaf and more. He even has a special sliders menu every Saturday. Check it out:

Looks great, doesn’t it?

Now if Isaac looks familiar to you, it’s probably because you’ve seen him over at The Tap Room. He cheffed over there for several years before coming over to the Tamarind.

The Inn at Tamarind Court serves dinner Monday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. They are also open for breakfast seven days a week.

St. John Restaurants: Check for Auto-Grat

Jenn Manes

Today’s post is a quick PSA for those of you who are scheduled to travel to St. John soon and plan to dine at one of many amazing restaurants.

My parents visited us for the Christmas holiday, and we ate out a lot. There were several restaurants that we dined at that added 20 percent gratuity to the bill. A few of the servers pointed out that gratuity was already added (auto-grat as we call it), but not all did. This happened at fine dining restaurants, but also at some of the most casual restaurants on island.

If a restaurant chooses to add gratuity automatically, that is fine. But I think the server should be required to tell the customer.

I am not knocking any of the restaurants who choose to do this. I am simply saying, check your bills.

That’s it for today. Happy New Year, everyone!

 

Look for the Green Flash Near Cruz Bay!

Last night’s sunset

My parents are visiting for Christmas, and my mom really enjoys a good sunset. So last night, we decided to check it out from the Cruz Bay overlook. In the hecticness that is the holiday season here on island, I completely forgot that it’s also green flash season!

The green flash is something that can appear just as the sun dips down into the ocean at sunset. For a split second, a flash of green appears just as the top of the sun falls below the horizon line. The sun is currently setting between Great St. James and St. Thomas, so it’s possible to see this from the Cruz Bay overlook, among other spots near Cruz Bay.

Conversely, The Windmill Bar is a great place to see the green flash in the summer when the sun is setting more to the north.

Unfortunately there were clouds near the horizon last night, so we did not get the opportunity to catch the green flash, but we will try to see it again tonight.

Those pesky clouds got in the way last night!

Random island fun fact: Our friends at St. John Brewers make an energy drink called Green Flash.

That’s it for today, folks! Have a great day!
