Tropical Delight Restaurant Review

One of the island's most authentic old restaurants, this place is popular with locals and draws an occasional visitor. It's most festive on Sunday when church groups in their "Sunday-go-to-meeting" clothes pour in for "a fill-up." The restaurant is housed in a wooden structure decorated with ship carvings and pictures of Caymanian life. The cooks make the island's most savory kettle of turtle stew, served with rice, beans, potato salad, and coleslaw. You can also order such hearty fare as braised oxtail or roast beef in gravy with vegetables and rice. The choice selection is always the catch of the day -- perhaps mahimahi, snapper, or kingfish -- served fried or grilled.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
