At Salud, I try and change our drink list every two months. Now, I know this seems a little unconventional compared to most restaurants, but since we’re located on a small island with a strong local clientele I try to keep it fresh and interesting to my two-to-four time a week customers.

Thanks to all who attended the 11th annual Taste of St. Croix on Thursday. Once again we had a crazy good time with all of you. This was my first time with my own table and I’m proud to report that the St. Croix Libation Society took home the 1st Place prize in the Beverage [...]
