   Five of us were on a “Sister Vacation” staying for 11 days. As we were in a home, we cooked most meals, saving our final night for a special evening, deciding on Zozo’s. Boy, did we make the right decision. From location to atmosphere, food to service, all was outstanding. The Chef’s offerings were nicely varied, and the portions were more plentiful than we expected. Only one entree disappointed - the prawns were unseasoned with a too-sweet sauce. Everything else was excellent. The Maitre d’, Mike, was very welcoming. Our Server, Mindy, was professional and courteous. The support wait staff were very knowledgeable about the food, which shows good training. One support server was just nice and attentive, Rini…don’t forget to roll the “R” should you ever meet him.

   The ambience, food, and service are always excellent at Zozo’s. Tonight did not disappoint and we highly recommend this unique restaurant’s experience on St. John!

   I don't know of many restaurants with this quality of food coupled with one of the best views in the world. The service is exemplary not too mention, John (the host) being part of the staff when it comes to serving drinks and just speaking to all the guests as if you were in his own home. There is so much of this lacking in the world today and Zozo's goes that extra step. The Mahi, Mahi with crab meat was delicious as was the wine selection that was paired with the dishes on the menu. Treat yourself when you are on St John and book a table. It's best to do this one month before your trip or you most likely it's fully booked. Of course, for GOOD reason!

   It was our first time there, but won’t be our last! We did the prefix, four course dinner and wine pairings. Everything was prepared to perfection! Our server, Gabby, was delightful! We look forward to our next time!

   John and Karen do an absolute fabulous job every night at their restaurant. They have had to move several times over the years, but it never ceases to amaze us that no matter where the location, everything about this restaurant just clicks! The current location is the best sunset on the island! The staff is better than excellent. Casey, our server, was fantastic anticipating our every want and need. And I cannot say enough about the kitchen staff! This year, the kitchen staff seems to be so together it is insane! We thought there was a new chef! But, no, we were assured the staff just seems to be much more in sync with each other and the product out of the kitchen has improved (if you can improve upon perfection) to an ultimate meal! Open only 6 months each year but killing it every day! This is a must do on St. John. Highly, highly recommend. And remember to visit Karen in the boutique for some unique items! Absolutely will be back every visit. Thank you John and Karen and the entire staff for a fabulous experience for our 20th anniversary!

   Profusely underwhelming other than the views everything was subpar and I'm sorry to say.... To get here it's more than a trek. It's an experience because you have to cover it or drive it into a parking spot and they take you and by car service over to the restaurant is adjacent to an abandoned resort that was never rebuilt after a hurricane kind of a spooky vibe. It's pretty cool if you're early, which we were, they ask you to sit you can sit at the beach with their lunch waiting area where there is a very nice gift shop, which employee was very unattended so I walked out. The host was very attentive and did ask us if we wanted a drink which we did their Grey Goose so martini was OK. Their olives were amazing. Martini was OK. I better have refreshing non-alcoholic drink was delicious as we waited to be seated and brought upstairs we did partake in the beautiful views totally amazing and maybe what the restaurant banks on the four course tasting menu we were grateful we didn't do the wine pairing, cause my wine was not impressive as wasn't my cocktail my Sauvignon Blanc from France lackluster and for a place that's about $400 to eat without wine pairing. I would expect the staff to be amazing. They were OK they were proficient. They weren't unkind but they were just OK. Everything I had was almost too salty and the papa pasta was not al dente was borderline hard. I'm sorry I come from New York and impressing is hard, but I'm willing to work with OK and delicious for the price point. I could've had four meals on the island which I would've found amazing and which I have and given an extra waiting to this was just not on par. I say save your money go local eat everywhere else. It's just not worth it to come here unless you want the experience of the view and to say you've been here I'm sorry that I had to leave this review..

    Zozos was great! Flexible with one gluten free member of our party. Bring bug spray.
