Urban Chic Posted January 15, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I'' llbe in Grand Cayman soon, and I'm planning to do some shopping in Georgetown, and also catch some rays on seven-mile beach. I'd like to have lunch ashore rather than getting back on board, and am wondering if anyone can suggest a nice place for lunch in Grand Cayman. If possible . . . I would like to have fresh seafood or Caribbean food, and someplace with a nice view of the sea, and/or outdoor dining). Any ideas??? Many thanks to anyone who can provide useful information.

rusw1 Posted January 18, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Breezes by the Bay isn't bad... it's right in Georgetown, only a few blocks from the pier, and right next to all the jewerly/souvenier shops. There's a balcony on the 2nd floor that looks out on the bay and the food is ok (mix of carribean fare and some American standbys like burgers), and the drinks are pretty good (in fact, everything else improves considerably after a few of their Cayman lemonades). Next time I'm there I'd like to try something new, but wouldn't mind going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkdhein Posted January 18, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hi We were in the grand cayman on this past friday and ate at the Paradise Restaurant it was to the right of the pier. It is past Hard Rock and on the right side outside seating right on the beach ocean area. Food was great. Krista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCchic Posted January 18, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Krista - what kind of food did they have? Also what else did you do while in Cayman? Did you go to the beach at all and if so which one? I heard Sea Grape on Seven Mile is great but gets very crowded. I'm just looking for a nice area on Seven Mile to relax at all day. Thanks again.

Urban Chic Posted January 19, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Thanks NYCchic & jkdhein. Both places sound great:-) Any other suggestions? Chic<----likes to have a plan in mind before going ashore;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop35 Posted January 19, 2005 #6 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Someone has said that Calico Jacks is a good place to eat. I won't be in Grand Cayman until the 26th, so I haven't been there. Maybe someone else can comment on Calico Jacks. It is on 7 mile beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean-lynd Posted January 19, 2005 #7 Share Posted January 19, 2005 We really enjoyed the Tree House. We didn't have a full meal just appetizers and drinks but they were very good and we loved the view. I have some pictures at http://community.webshots.com/user/jean_lynd in the Voyager albums that will give you an idea of what it was like. I hope this helps!

Jolly Posted January 21, 2005 #8 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Sorry to say, that the Tree House is no longer. It was damaged very badly from Hurricane Ivan and haven't heard if they plan to rebuild. I will be in GC the 1st weekend in February. So, I can check for you. Have property on the island and going to check out the damage and progess of repairs. Can recommend a few good places for lunch: On SMB , Coconut Joes, Cafe Med(these are not on the beach but across the road). Yes, they are open for business. Please go and enjoy the island. I'm sure it doesn't look like it did before, however, the people of GC are warm & friendly. Beautiful beaches and the water is so inviting! I miss my second home! Have a great time!

Urban Chic Posted January 30, 2005 Author #14 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Does anyone know how far away "Hemingways" at the Hyatt is from Sea Grape Beach? I've heard they have a great lobster & tropical fruit salad there,& great drinks there, and would like to try it, but also want some beach time. Can anyone help? I'm leaving in just a few weeks.

Maybe 1 1/2 miles ? Looking at this: http://www.caribbean-on-line.com/cy/wcmap.shtml Sea Grape is around 32 and 34 (near one of the camera symbols) Hyatt is 35 - near Beach Club Colony Hotel. http://www.frommers.com/destinations/grandcayman/D48538.html http://grandcayman.hyatt.com/property/index.jhtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCchic Posted January 31, 2005 #16 Share Posted January 31, 2005 The link to the Hyatt website makes it sound like the Hyatt is closed until Nov. 2005??? Or maybe just part of the hotel....not sure about Hemingways...I'm sure you could email the Hyatt to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe just part of the hotel....not sure about Hemingways...I'm sure you could email the Hyatt to find out. The Hyatt is located on both sides of the road in GC. The side on SMB is open and this is where you will find Hemingways. The other side across the street is still closed due to hurricane damage. I will be on the island this Thursday to Sunday. Once I get back I will give a listing of places to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
