How to choose a Red Hook restaurant
Choose by the hour, since all eight sit on one harbor or across the road from it. Hook'd is the morning kitchen, serving from 8am at the dock with breakfast until 11:30, and Agave opens at 11am for lunch. Duffy's Love Shack, in Red Hook Plaza, starts at 11:30am and calls itself a bar that serves food, and the menu bears it out: wings, nachos, fish tacos. Dinner is where the choice widens: Italian at Pesce, sushi at RAW, seafood with a French Creole hand at 3 Palms, and the wood-fired kitchen at The Easterly, all on the waterfront.
The Red Hook area guide has the drives from the harbor; the St. Thomas eat-and-drink page covers the rest of the island by neighborhood.
Red Hook restaurants that take reservations
Six of the eight take a booking as of October 2026. Pesce, RAW and Agave share one reservation line, (340) 714-7874, and an online form, so name the restaurant when you call. 3 Palms books through OpenTable from its site. The Easterly says reservations are strongly recommended, takes them online, up to 60 days ahead, and keeps part of the room each night for walk-ins. Hook'd's listing says it takes bookings, on (340) 714-4665. Duffy's and Tap & Still are walk-in bars by our read: neither mentions a booking, and at Tap & Still you order at the bar.
The tradeoff: short weeks and missing hours
Not every kitchen opens every night. The Easterly serves dinner Thursday to Monday and is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays during hurricane season, per its own page in October 2026. RAW serves Tuesday to Saturday only. 3 Palms publishes no opening hours on its site, and a September 2026 listing has it closed on Tuesdays; Duffy's gives an opening time but no closing one. On a Tuesday in October, the kitchens with published dinner hours are Pesce, Agave, RAW, Hook'd and Tap & Still; ring the others before you drive.
Dinner around the St. John ferry
The passenger ferry to Cruz Bay leaves Red Hook every hour on the hour until 10pm, and a non-resident adult fare is $8.15, per the Department of Public Works as of October 2026. A guest staying on St. John should plan around the 10pm boat the Department of Public Works lists: Pesce, Agave and RAW serve until 10pm and Hook'd until 9pm, so book early enough to settle the bill and reach the terminal.
