Frommer's Highly Recommended

Located in the center of George Town and surrounded by office buildings and shops, this restaurant does most of its business at lunch and during the late afternoon, once nearby businesses have closed. Dozens of regulars enjoy cocktails after work, making a late afternoon here an especially good time to gain insight into the inner life of Grand Cayman. The restaurant and bar are decorated like a warm, welcoming tavern, with exposed brick and dark mahogany paneling. Lunches are simple, focusing on salads, sandwiches, light platters, and soups. Dinners are more elaborate and can be accompanied by glasses of any of the house wines, ranging from CI$5 to CI$8 (US$6.25-US$10/£3-£4.80) a glass. Other cocktails, such as a melon-flavored piña colada, go for CI$6.50 to CI$8 (US$8.15-US$10/£3.90-£4.80). If you just want to hang out at the bar and nibble on snacks and tapas, consider ordering the jerk-chicken quesadilla, the flash-fried calamari with jerk-seasoned tartar sauce, or an antipasto platter. Main courses at dinner might include partially seared tuna tataki, baked portobello mushrooms with Gorgonzola cheese, roasted and olive-crusted rack of lamb, and braised salmon with a seaweed salad. The wide-ranging vegetarian options are very tasty too.
