Cafe Fresco — Restaurant in Saint Croix

It only took a few visits to Café Fresco in Gallows Bay to decide that it is one of my “go to” places now when dining out with friends or visiting family. The menu is a very refreshing change from the standard fare of many other eateries on island and even a bit eclectic with Cuban, Uruguayan, Vietnamese inspired dishes as well as the standard pub fare you’d expect. The food is consistently good (and reasonably priced), the cocktails are generous and the service is excellent (although, when busy, service naturally slows down a bit). If the weather is nice you’ll find the atmosphere a little more tropical and soothing outside on the patio. Inside is less impressive and a bit more reminiscent of a sports bar with televisions showing the latest sports games. If hard chairs aren’t your thing, opt for a table along the back wall where you will find cushioned bench seating on at least one side of the tables. All-in-all, Café Fresco is worth...

Went again after years away and the service was still great and fast. They served two large tables (14 total) including children, bringing extra cups without being asked and extra plates.

The blueberry pancakes were wonderful and the French toast was decent, though not as good. The omelette was well seasoned and the Chivito with eggs was amazingly tasty, though the steak could have been sliced a little thinner so that it was easier to cut on top of the open faced sandwich.

The courtyard is beautiful and really welcoming especially if you need a little room or a couple of sights to quietly distract children while you briefly wait for your meal.

Overall a wonderful experience that doesn't seem to have the poor service I've noticed all over since the labor...

My husband and I stopped here for brunch and what a treat.

The seating area is a small courtyard with around 8 tables. Each table has an umbrella. There are three tables under a large solid overhang. No indoor seating (that I saw).

We both enjoyed the Caffe Miel (it was great iced!) He had the quesadilla which was just... delicious. The tortilla was crispy and crunchy, and the Old Bay/cayenne coating on top was bangin'.

My Funky Chicken was refreshing on a hot day, and the portion was huge. Loved the curry take on a chicken salad.

The mango chutney you're seeing in other reviews... LAWD.

Friendly, attentive, FAST service, too.

A must in...
