Delicious tacos, ‘magical’ drinks according to my wife, and good, friendly service. Great visit, thanks!

Lime Inn used to be a prix fixe restaurant. Now, it’s a land-based version of Lime Out, the floating taco bar in Coral Bay. Like most restaurants in St. John, it’s open to the outside, which means it’s the perfect temperature all the time.
We went in (12/29/23) for a couple margaritas. It was nicely crowded, but everyone was friendly, and some folks moved around so we could sit at the bar together. There’s lovely table seating, as well, but it was fun to sit at the bar and watch the skilled bartenders create their magic! Despite the crowd, the staff was pleasant and accommodating. We got the “nene” margarita and the grapefruit margarita. Both were fresh and flavorful. Good pour on the tequila, but very smooth. We split one more of the grapefruit margaritas. We also had a “cowabunga” (braised short rib, blackened shrimp, pickled onions, feta) taco and a “tuna matata” (jerk tuna, pineapple, jicama relish, slaw) taco, whimsically named and delicious. The tacos aren’t cheap ($10 to $14 each), but from a flavor standpoint, they are absolutely worth it. If it was all you were eating, you might want a second, but honestly, there was so much yumminess, we left feeling very satisfied. We’ll definitely go back on our next trip.

The food was fantastic. Best meal we had on the island! Service was also good till the end when we were not given detailed bills and asked to tip. Only to realize they added a gratuity already and in the end received a 40% tip.
Uncertain if the waiter knew what he was doing, as he was quite defensive, but luckily we caught it and the manager corrected it after a little of back and forth.
In the end I say “hi eat here” just insist on a detailed bill.

The wonderful hostess/owner greeted us warmly and made sure our experience was enjoyable from start to finish. Our kids were exhausted from a full day of St. John fun and feeling picky. They offered to make them off-menu dishes; and while I didn't expect that, it was really appreciated. The tacos were amazing, the cocktails were so refreshing. It was an exceptional experience all around.

Fun food..tacos! Relaxed atmosphere. It is first come, first served...and when we arrived, it was packed. Staff seemed a bit overwhelmed but then, it calmed down and was sane.
Food was tasty. Corkage fee very reasonable at $20. (We byob on holiday with great wines from our cellar.)

Best food we had on the island. Great tacos with good flavor and generous portions. Service was fairly shaky, including not being able to get the check right even after two tries, but nonetheless we'd happily go back.

This is our fifth time on St. John, USVI.
We’ve eaten at most every restaurant on the island over the past five years . Our meal at Lime Inn this evening was the best meal we’ve had in our five years visiting St. John. . Flavorful , fresh ingredients , wonderful texture, amazing seasonings and sauces , and generous portions . To call it a taco restaurant is doing this fine restaurant a major dis-service . I am not a taco lover , yet after eating at Lime Inn and having their taco’s, I’m a convert .
Congratulations on a great restaurant.
