From the ambiance to the service and the quality of the drinks, this place is a must visit. Our…read morebartender, Trevor, was recommended from another bar we visited. We sat at a high top in front of the bar and were greeted immediately. I had the espresso martini and it was sweet and frothy and garnished with shredded chocolate bits. It was the perfect dessert drink. Trevor answered some questions we had about the island and was prompt and pleasant through checkout. Wished we could've gotten over there a few more times during our trip.

Stepping into this dimly lit tiki bar is like entering a hidden world. Lavish details, from the…read morebrass lion heads on the doors, to the glow of a copper diving helmet, to the puffer-fish lamps and gilded menu, create a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of a shipwreck. Once your eyes have adjusted, you can start reading the truly extensive cocktail menu. There are both classic tiki and newer creations available, and during happy hour, some of the simpler drinks (like Mai Tais) are discounted. If you are new to tiki, you might get frustrated with some of the service times, but each drink can be so complex, they take a little longer than your average rail to make (but it's worth it for the layered flavors). Breaker's Roar is my favorite bar in Christiansted, and it is great either as a first drink of the night spot, or as a final hurrah. I have never had a bad drink from them, and I don't even have a favorite, everything I have tried is so delicious. Each drink also comes in a carefully selected vessel, and that id definitely part of the equation in placing an order. The last time we went, there was also a small bites menu that was a pleasant surprise. We liked the two plates we tried, but already had dinner reservations. Next time we go back, we plan to eat a full meal. This place is a must if you are on the boardwalk!

The shrimp and cheesy grits had a roux that was reminiscent of what I've had in Louisiana. Totally rocked it. They don't have desserts on the menu, but the chef whipped up something on the spot. It was a grill slice of angel food cake with apples, and she topped it with homemade caramel and oats. I stopped in later during my stay on the island and had the breakfast jambalaya. The addition of a fried egg and avocado kicked it up several notches. Glad I passed by this cafe and stopped in. Everything was full of flavor, and the cocktails really stood out. If I were in St. Croix now, I would certainly go back.

The food. MEH. I love carpaccio but this was underwhelming and didn't have enough acidity to balance the plate. I ordered the lobster pasta. Wow -what a disappointment. The lobster was over cooked and chewy. The sauce (bisque) was flavorless and needed salt and a bit of heavy cream badly. The pasta was way past al dente. Had to ask for bread- was told "had to see if they had enough for a side of bread." Ran out of risotto for a 730 pm reservation. Offered two specials but I had to ask the price. (Pet peeve--tell me the special price). And then the server wasn't sure and had to go ask. Go only for the location and view --not the food. The mocktails were both delicious. Points for having a mocktail list!

We visited this bistro around 8:30 p.m., before its closing, but the service was unwelcoming and…read morevery slow. It took 15 minutes to get water, the staff seemed disorganized despite only three tables, and we were repeatedly rushed to order because the kitchen was "closing." The food did not justify the high prices. A $60-$70 filet mignon was completely unseasoned and bland, with minimal sides. While the mussel appetizer tasted good, the broth was full of broken shells, making it unpleasant and unsafe to eat. Drink service was also poor: a second glass of wine was served in a small cup and spilled during a refill without any acknowledgment. Portions were inconsistent, and the overall experience felt careless. One dish, the grilled mahi mahi, was well seasoned and tasted good, but at $40 it felt overpriced for a common fish and came with overcooked, unappealing sides. Overall, the meal was not worth the cost.

To call in for takeout, you have to call the hotel that redirects you to the restaurant. That took couple tries for us because of the restaurant not picking up the call first time. We ordered various sandwiches - the Chicken in biscuit sandwich, the chicken blt sliders, a regular BLT and a savory crepe. The food was ready in the time they stated and stayed warm for the 15 min drive back to our rental. The savory crepe met the standards of a crepe but the chicken filling was just okay. The blt sliders and chicken biscuit were the favorites though and were thoroughly enjoyed. The BLT too was full of bacon and decent tomatoes. Overall a win for us.

We started with the grotto salad and conch two ways ! Wow we were off to a great start and the portions were perfect to share. We then literally dived into the seafood grotto. A large bowl filled with local seafood and an amazing broth to complement the variety of fish . We could not stop there as we went for the plantain foster and what a way to end a special and delicious meal. The staff were welcoming and friendly and totally on point taking great care of us! We had a chance to chat with Chef as he came out to ensure everything was up to our expectations. So nice to meet the wizard behind the menu and the kitchen. We will surely make a point of returning in the very near future. Highly recommend!

There is a beautiful outdoor dining courtyard option. Inside is open concept where you can see the chefs preparing the food! Our severe was phenomenal and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Speedy and attentive and just so friendly. For appetizers we had the Octopus, the baked Brie, and the Conch Ceviche with fritters. Truly each of these dishes had something special about them and were all FANTASTIC! Presentation, texture, flavor all amazing. I still think about the Brie five days later writing this review. I wish I took more photos! For entree I had the steak. It was a New York Strip with house made chimichurri, and a sweet potato mash. Wow it was the best steak I've had in a long time. All the flavors on the plate complimented each other so beautifully. Again, I wish I took more pictures!! Dessert was a delight all on its own. The Crème Brûlée was smooooooth as can be. Not a single lump or bump. The plantain foster really did steal the spotlight on the dessert. It was warm and gooey and flavorful and perfect! There was some foster sauce left over that we ended up mixing with some crème brûlée and it was heaven. One of the intriguing aspects of this place was the chef was on the TV show 'Beat Bobby Flay'... iykyk. I definitely can see how he beat him. If you're on STX it's a must that you dine at 1756 Grotto! I will 100% be returning. More pictures next time ;)
