The Caribbean’s original Island Vodka handcrafted from breadfruit, MUTINY Island Vodka® is a true island vodka with a luxurious smoothness that reminds you of the trade winds and blue waters of its island home. The only spirit distilled, bottled, and distributed on St Croix, we are proud to be a US Virgin Islands export! Full of Island vibes, Island character, Island flavor, and Island rhythm! The magic of breadfruit not only makes a smooth Island Vodka, but it helps feed people, create jobs, and benefit the environment. Ask for us at all restaurants on island, visit our iconic mill tasting room on the Christiansted boardwalk, and join us at Sion Farm Distillery for breadfruit eats and drinks. BETTER Cocktails. BETTER Planet.

St. Croix is such a wonderful place to live and work. My wife (Caroline) and I are thrilled to bring our “Goat” family down from Put-in-Bay, Ohio each winter season. This will be our fourth season of service at our Coakley Bay location.

We are very thankful to all of our guests who have become island friends. That is the fun part of our business, and we look forward to meeting more of our island neighbors. We are proud of our staff and the menu that we offer, we hope that you will enjoy them too!

Our lunch menu features “from scratch made to order” soups, salads and sandwiches. Our delicious appetizers are available all day. Enjoy several wonderful options including escargot, oysters Rockefeller and crab deviled eggs.

Dinner entrees include local fresh fish specials, “prime” hand cut steaks and a wide variety of pasta dishes. In house desserts, wonderful cocktails and a thoughtful wine list will make every visit to The Goat special.

I have enjoyed working in the restaurant business for the past forty-one years. At fourteen I worked at my first fine dining restaurant in Canton, Ohio as a bus boy. I climbed my way up to dish washer! It has been an interesting journey to say the least! How very special to find ourselves landing on St Croix. It is a privilege to be a part of the restaurant scene here, with so many outstanding food trucks and wonderful restaurants.

Caroline, our staff and I hope to see you at our locations in Keystone Resort, Colorado and Put-in-Bay, Ohio, but, especially here on the East End of St. Croix! Please stop by and enjoy the beautiful views and ambiance of the Coakley Bay, Goat, Soup and Whiskey. Thanks for visiting! - Scott Jackson
