St. Croix Restaurants
Dine outside in the balmy air in a courtyard flanked by stone columns, Danish arches, trees and gardens. Enjoy the view from your table on a hilltop verandah, balcony or Christiansted boardwalk. Take in paintings, photography, and tasteful decor, or enjoy the homey atmosphere of a local deli, cafe, barbeque or burger stop.
There is food for all tastes and occasions and our specialties are special indeed. Munch on conch fritters or crack open clawless Caribbean lobster. Try the local fresh fish brought in minutes ago and prepared in a unique fashion by an expert chef.
Whether you're chatting with the friendly bartender over your cheeseburger or asking your knowledgeable server to recommend food and wine pairings, you will enjoy excellent service. The owners will, no doubt, be in attendance, greeting guests or working magic in the kitchen. You will find that the dining experience on St. Croix is always one of island intimacy and inspiration.
