Here is a summary of the restaurants we went to when we were there back in 2011:
Rum Point Club Restaurant – take catamaran from Red Sail dock near Grand Caymanian. Food good, service slow. They don’t look like they can handle a full boat when it comes in. They won’t seat a party of 2 at a table for 4 with ocean view.
Guy Harvey’s Island Grill – downtown Georgetown across from the cruise ship terminal. Upstairs water front patio. Stopped for drinks.
Hemingways – in the Grand Cayman Beach Suites on West Bay at 7 mile beach close to Grand Caymanian. Food good, view good, service fair but fast – asked me how I wanted burger and delivered it well; asked for salad instead of fries and got fries.
Rackams – on West Bay just before getting into downtown Georgetown, this side of Casanova’s. Craig at the Grand Caymanian said bar food is better than Paradise Grill. Specialty drinks don’t have much booze. View not as good as Paradise Grill. Lots of locals were there. You can feed the tarpons @ 7:30 weekdays and I think all day Saturday.
The Cracked Conch – West Bay across from the car museum. Get a table on the patio or outside deck. Food & service good, only one of a few places I left more than the 15% automatically added to the bill.
Casanova’s – recommended by Craig @ the Grand Caymanian. Get a table on the balcony – outdoor tables are on the sand. Food good, service a bit rushed. Did leave more than the 15% added to bill.
Lighthouse – West Bay past Georgetown on way to Rum Point. About a 40 minute drive from Grand Caymanian. Food & service good. Limited menu (lots of shellfish and pork, but bengie dessert was HUGE and great. Did leave more than the 15% added to bill.
Coconut Joe’s – West Bay @ 7 mile beach across from Comfort Suites close to resort. Basic bar food, good service & specialty drinks. You sit under a huge tree outside.
Calypso Grill – Morgan’s Harbor. Right on West Bay, turn before Cracked Conch. Great location, food & service. Outside patio.
Papagallo – Right on West Bay, turn before Cracked Conch. Look for sign. Discount card in desk drawer picked up at Grand Caymanian. Great food & service. Patio is screened in, has a room with parrots.
Michael’s – Camana Bay left on Esterly Tibbets. Eclectic food, good food & service.
On the Edge – Rum Point hour and 15 minute drive from Grand Caymanian. Great view, poor service, good bar food. Good place to go and have a drink and have bar food.
Paradise Grill – in Georgetown, at the end of the shopping district – (opposite end from Casanova’s). Just stopped in for a drink. Better view than Rackam’s. Craig from the Grand Caymanian said food was not as good as Rackam’s. Specialty drink was good.
