1. Grand Old House
$$$$ | |Built in 1908 as the Petra Plantation House and transformed into the island's first upscale establishment decades ago, this grande dame evokes bygone grandeur sans pretension. Outside, hundreds of sparkling lights adorning the gazebos compete with the starry sky. Live nightly music and rumors of a charming blond ghost trailing white chiffon complete the picture. The interior rooms, awash in crystal, recall its plantation-house origins. Expertly executed classics include panfried foie gras with black currant and green apple purees, salted mango chutney, and microgreens; roasted lobster in creamy Chardonnay sauce; and chicken cordon bleu. The subtle yet complex flavor interactions, stellar service, and encyclopedic if stratospherically priced wine list ensure legendary status. Nightly happy hours with discounted tapas at the restaurant's On the Rocks bar are a substantial bargain.

2. The Brasserie
$$$ | |Actuaries, bankers, and CEOs frequent this contemporary throwback to a colonial country club for lunch and for "attitude adjustment" happy hours with creative cocktails and complimentary canapés. Inviting fusion farm- and sea-to-table cuisine, which emphasizes local ingredients whenever possible (the restaurant has its own boat and garden), includes terrific bar tapas. Dishes deftly balance flavors and textures without sensory overload: this is serious food with a sense of playfulness. Save room for dessert, from an artisanal cheese plate to an ice-cream-and-sorbet tasting menu and elaborate architectural confections. Lunch is more reasonably priced but equally creative; the adjacent Market excels at takeout, and the wine list is well considered.

5. Casanova Restaurant by the Sea
$$$ | |Owner Tony Crescente and younger brother, maître d' Carlo, offer a simpatico dining experience, practically exhorting you to mangia and sending you off with a chorus of ciaos. There's some decorative formaggio (cheese): murals of grape clusters and cavorting cherubs, paintings of the Amalfi Coast, and una finestra sul mare ("window to the sea") stenciled redundantly over arches opening onto the harbor. The kitsch doesn't extend to the kitchen. Sterling Italian favorites include lemony veal piccata; gnocchetti in velvety four-cheese sauce with a blush of tomato; and the seafood grill in parsley-garlic-lemon sauce. Enjoy grappa at the marble bar of Il Bacio lounge amid its wooden wine racks (the impressive selection isn't overly Italian-centric). The patio juts over the harbor, and moonlight, abetted by a soundtrack featuring Bocelli and Bennett, can transform an amorous coward into a Casanova.

7. Champion House II
$$ | |Ads trumpet that this restaurant—overlooking a garden with a cheery tropical motif—is "where the islanders dine"; indeed they have since the Robinson family started selling takeout from its kitchen in 1965. The West Indies breakfast, themed lunch, and Taste of Cayman dinner buffets are legendary spreads. Local food (curried goat, oxtail with broad beans, turtle soup, and heavy cake) is authentic, hearty, and cheap. Pricier global dishes range from chop suey to enchiladas and fine Indian vegetarian options like samosas and masala dal (lentils simmered with green chilis).

- Traditional local and Asian dishes
- Lavish buffets

8. Da Fish Shack
$$$ | |This classic clapboard seaside shanty couldn't be homier: constructed from an old fishing vessel, the structure is an authentic representation of original Caymanian architecture. The deck is perfectly placed to savor the breezes and water views, and the chill Caribbean vibe makes it feel as if you're having the freshest seafood at a friend's home. The owners source fresh, local ingredients wherever possible and have developed relationships with Caymanian fishermen, who often cruise up to the dock with their catch. Savor jerk fish tacos, saltfish fritters, coconut shrimp with pineapple-tomato salsa, and golden crunchy breadfruit fries. Landlubber selections run from pork chops with pineapple butter to baby back ribs braised in Jack Daniels. Free Wi-Fi and occasional DJs are bonuses.
127 N. Church St., George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands345-947–8126Known For
- Terrific harbor views
- Delectable fish tacos
- Mellow ambience

9. Guy Harvey's Boathouse Grill
$$$$ | |The Boathouse Grill is perched atop the majestic George Town harbor, offering an exquisite Caribbean and international menu. Our fare emphasizes fresh, sustainable seafood, harvested from nearby waters. Inside, one will find a gorgeous interior decor complemented by awe-inspiring artwork from acclaimed marine wildlife artist Guy Harvey. The best seat in the house, however, is on the first-floor deck of the Boathouse Grill; here, guests can relish stunning sunsets over the bustling harbor. Open Monday to Saturday from 11:30.
66 S. Church St., George Town, Grand Cayman, KY1-1207, Cayman Islands345-946--9000Known For

- All-you-can-eat lobster
- Sustainable seafood

10. Lobster Pot
$$$$ | |The nondescript building belies the lovely marine-motif decor and luscious seafood at this second-story restaurant overlooking the harbor. Enjoy lobster prepared several ways (all à la sticker shock) along with reasonably priced wine, which you can sample by the glass in the cozy bar. The two musts are the Cayman Trio (lobster tail, grilled mahimahi, and garlic shrimp) and the Pot (lobster, giant prawns, and crab). The wildly popular Friday lunch special is the decadent CI$19 lobster burger, a hefty heifer topped with a perfectly cooked 3-ounce lobster tail, bacon, cheddar, shrimp, jalapeño, and onion rings (add the day's special wine for CI$9/bottle). The kitchen happily provides reduced-oil and -fat alternatives to most dishes; vegetarians love the flavorful chili-lime polenta with grilled artichoke in mango cream and the tofu, zucchini, and yellow-squash spaghetti. The balcony offers a breathtaking view of the sunset tarpon feeding.
245 N. Church St., George Town, Grand Cayman, KY1-1107, Cayman Islands345-949–2736Known For
- Scintillating harbor views
- Strong selection of wines by the glass
- Predictably fine lobster, especially the Friday special lobster burger

11. The Wharf Restaurant and Bar
$$$$ | |The location of this waterside eatery is a series of elevated decks and Victorian-style gazebos in blue and white hugging the sea. Its enviable location helps to explain its enduring appeal (wedding parties have their own pavilion, but celebrations of all sorts can overrun the place, including Salsa Tuesdays, with lessons). The Ports of Call bar is a splendid place for sunset fanciers, and tarpon feeding off the deck is a twice-nightly (7 and 9 pm) spectacle. Save room for dessert: perhaps the Cayman lime pie or toffee banana.
43 W. Bay Rd., George Town, Grand Cayman, KY1-1110, Cayman Islands345-949–2231Known For
- Stunning seaside location
- Fun evening entertainment including tarpon feedings
- Delectable desserts
