The first night we were in the Virgin Islands, we ate dinner at Zozo's. This is one of my brother's favorite restaurants on St. John, and we were celebrating before his wedding. We were part of a rather large group, so reservations were made ahead of time. Arriving just a few minutes early, we congregated at the bar while our tables were made ready. Night had fallen, so the spectacular view of the ocean was reduced to the sight of twinkling lights across the waters in St. Thomas. What was the food like? We had just come from a small cocktail reception, so I was not exceptionally hungry. Still, the Italian/seafood menu was chocked full of tempting choices. In addition to several specials, the regular menu includes lobster, sea bass, pork tenderloin, scallops, and steak. My cousin opted for a tuna dish that he said was excellent. With a much smaller appetite, I chose the lobster mezalune for my meal. This was delicious. And the perfect portion for me. We complimented all this with a bottle of Schaffer wine. Wonderful!
Bottom line? The service was spectacular, especially for our large group. The food couldn't have been better. While I didn't see Kenny Chesney grabbing a bite, I've been told this country music star also likes meals at Zozo's. Whether or not he shows up, I would recommend this place for a couple out for a fine dining (yet not stuffy) experience. We certainly enjoyed the meal we had here.
