Too.Chez Restaurant + Bar
Get cozy in the charming courtyard of Too.Chez Restaurant + Bar, located in a superbly restored historic building in the heart of Christiansted.

Start with the lobster cakes or handmade sweet potato-and-gorgonzola ravioli, then move on to entrees like the grilled filet au poivre with wild mushroom bordelaise or baked salmon. Try a Love Potion #9 (a mix of rum, coconut cream, pineapple and fresh-squeezed lemon juice).
Brew STX
Head to the picturesque Christiansted Boardwalk for craft beers and elevated pub fare at Brew STX. The two-story, open-air restaurant/microbrewery features sweeping views of boats bobbing in the harbor. Sample a flight of house-brewed beers to discover your favorite (like the Mango Lager).
