Frommer's Review

This most popular lunch stop specializes in local cookery served the way it was long before the Cayman Islands became a popular travel destination. Traditional-looking with dark-wood furnishings, the restaurant offers air-conditioning -- a recent novelty. A great family dining choice because of its children's menu, the restaurant has a nonsmoking section and provides for special diets if requested far enough in advance. A takeout service is available if you're planning a picnic on the beach. The all-time favorite meal is red-bean soup followed by roast beef with rice and beans. We're more drawn, however, to the steamed, freshly caught turbot with steamed vegetables, and the fried kingfish with rice and beans. Chicken is another favorite dish here, and it comes baked, curried, or stewed.

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.
