“ Such an amazing experience. A little off the beaten path, this restaurant sits right at the Caneel Bay Beachside. Reservations are required, but this 4 course dining experience is exquisite. Great wine and cocktail list to enjoy while meandering about the premises. Check out the boutique and take a sunset walk to the end of the dock. All of the servers make great suggestions for pairings, incredible attention to detail on staple and rotating menu items. A casual, romantic, getaway here will leave you will a happy belly. ”
“ We had an amazing celebratory dinner last week. The food, service and atmosphere did not disappoint! Thank you for an incredible experience! ”
“ One of the best restaurants in all of Virgin Islands hands-down. From the atmosphere to the service you really couldn’t ask for more. Whether you’re looking for a secluded romantic dinner with the sunset or just some family time, this is a must go to when you’re on St. John. The food palette and drinks are definitely made with passion and love which makes the overall experience amazing. Until next time! ”
“ Go for the food. Go for the sunset. Go for the vibe. Whatever you do, just go. My wife and I celebrated her birthday at ZoZo's and had a wonderful time. It's a bit of an adventure just to get to the restaurant, which makes stepping into the littoral paradise even more of a delight. If you don't like outdoor dining, then ZoZo's is probably not for you. There are sights, sounds, and smells that you would not experience in an air-conditioned restaurant overlooking a city. But if you're already on St. John and want to feel like you're in a movie, then this sunset dining experience is a must. Each course is presented perfectly. I can highly recommend the gnocchi and osso buco, and my guava tart was the perfect dessert. I ended the night with a cappuccino that could've come from a high-end coffee shop. Kudos to the entire staff, including our server Lani, who made our night one to remember! ”
“ They’re open!! We almost didn’t go since the resort is closed, good thing we checked again! Best meal (and sunset) on St. John!Make a reservation online, as they don’t take them by phone. Park at Caneel Bay, just tell security you’re eating at Zozo’s, and they shuttle you to the restaurant. The ride through the abandoned resort feels something like Jurassic Park and you emerge upon this GORGEOUS restaurant. We sat at the bar for à la carte and it was truly perfect. You can walk around the premises while waiting for your food, they even have a small shop with local goods! The Porchetta was to die for, Mahi was delicious, the Panna Cotta was unbelievable and the drinks were strong. This is a MUST if you’re on the island! ”
“ We’ve been to Zozo’s 5ish times and every time they knock it out of the park. Plating is amazing, as are the flavors of each dish. We’re big foodies, so being at a place like Zozo’s where the chefs put on a great show is always a win. We’ve done both bar seating (a la carte) and the coursed meal - both are great. The views from the restaurant are unbeatable and this is our favorite restaurant on the island. I think if you’re someone who really appreciates food and how flavors come together, you’ll easily give this 5 stars and it’ll be worth every penny. ”
“ There should be 6 stars for a place like this! Unbelievable everything! Atmosphere, food, service. All of it. We had a front row table to the sunset. The 4 course meal with wine pairings was just perfect. I can’t wait to come again! ”
“ This is my favorite restaurant in the USVI. The food is amazing, the staff is extremely friendly and attentive and the vibes leave nothing to be desired. The entire grounds are breathtaking. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. ”
