We had an amazing time here. All the staff and the owner were extremely friendly and welcoming. This is a 10 out of 10 must go for delicious locally sourced food.

Wow!! We have been coming to St Croix for years and it seems like there's always a revolving door of restaurants downtown. Some good, some bad.1756 is a smash hit. This place is going to be impossible to get a reservation at in a year, I promise you. We had the island fried chicken, the rum sangria and the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake.My wife was licking the plate clean!We cannot wait to come back next time we're on- island!

Great location, the outside seating area is awesome. The food was very good and the staff were very attentive, only thing was our appetizer and meals came out at the same time, made our experience seem a little rushed.

WOW. Hands down one of the best places I have been in the USVI territory and maybe even stateside. Food was SO SO SO SO GOOD. Attentive and courteous waitstaff, really cool chill ambiance, and GREAT FOOD. The entire KEEP LEFT RESTAURANT GROUP is fabulous and this may be the crowning jewel.My mouth is watering looking at these pics already!

I can’t rave enough about the food!! I’m from New Orleans so I like to pretend I know a thing or two about food. This place was spectacular! We had the Brie and garlic appetizer and the risotto and lobster and everything was fantastic. Our bartender, Victor, was so friendly and accommodating. The owner was so fun and sweet! My husband and I come to the island every April and this place is absolutely going to be our top place to dine from now on.

Outstanding food and atmosphere. Staff was very helpful. Best meal out my wife and I have had in a long time. If you are visiting St. Croix, you need to add this to your list

Very cool vibe when you walk in. Beautiful old building with wonderfully preserved historic touches throughout the restaurant. Stopped in for drinks and got talked into staying for dinner by the owner! Awesome service, great drinks, and delicious food in a beautifully unique space. Food portions do run on the smaller side but their menu items are reasonably priced for the quality, service, ambience, and location. Highly recommend!

Celebrated my birthday with a big group. Our first of many times to come. Delicious food, excellent service, beautiful courtyard & decor. STX has a new hot spot!

In all earnestness, downtown Christiansted has a lot of misses. This place is definitely a hit. The staff is attentive and friendly. The food is wildly excellent. And the ambiance is fantastic. All ingredients I had were locally sourced. Tempura lobster and okra with a scotch bonnet salsa were sublime. Goat bolognese was comfort food for the ages. Give the place a try and you won't be disappointed.
