We planned our wedding reception at La Tapa for a year and finally had it last weekend. The restaurant had a feel of European bistro. The food blew us and the guests away. The ingredients were very fresh. We had shared appetizers and salad, then entree selection of mahi mahi and confit de canard. The sangria, chardonnay and the rose were all excellent. Alex and the staff were very sweet and accommodating. We dropped the reception decoration off at the restaurant 2 days before the wedding, and they helped us arrange everything, the whole setting was very beautiful and inviting. Alex baked us a cake in additional to a passion fruit cheese cake. My husband and I were very grateful for their help.

We returned on Tuesday night for their live jazz night. The restaurant was buzzling and everyone seemed to enjoy it there. We ordered the seared yellowfin tuna, squid in squid ink, seared foie gras, escargo, confit de canard, PEI mussels, con pan w 3 sauces and la tapa oil, gazpacho, the veal and apricot bread putting. Everything was amazing. We'll definitely return next time we come back to St. John!
