1. Blue by Eric Ripert
$$$$ | |Celebrity chef Eric Ripert's trademark ethereal seafood, flawless but not fawning service, swish setting, and soothing, unpretentious sophistication make this one of the Caribbean's finest restaurants. Choose from six- and seven-course tasting menus (with or without wine pairing); there are also trendy "almost raw" and "barely touched" options. Many dishes are clever riffs on the mother restaurant (New York's celebrated Le Bernardin), using the island's natural bounty, such as the celebrated signature tuna foie. Dishes might include lobster with purple cauliflower and macadamia nuts in truffle butter, or seared turbot with braised endive in a clam–foie gras emulsion. The vast wine list showcases not just heavy hitters but hot new regions and lesser-known varietals.

2. Catch
$$$$ | |With the fishermen practically cruising up to your table with glistening seafood, this restaurant right on the harbor lives up to its name. Even the decor is appetizing, with walls daubed in edible hues like mustard, tomato, and mint, setting off bleached distressed wood, and prime seating on two patios, one of which has a retractable roof. The same appetizers are served at lunch and dinner, making a fine tapas-style option. You might savor the coriander-toasted crispy octopus; the tuna-wahoo carpaccio duo, both exquisite; tenderized thin slices of panko-fried conch; or the house answer to surf and turf: pork belly porchetta and seared scallop with apple and celery all’amatriciana.The standout among the stunners: oxtail ravioli, with sprouts adding just the right crunchiness while local pepper jelly contributes just enough heat. Like parent restaurant Agua there's a fabulous cocktail list, emphasizing modern twists on the classics, while Peter Bedocs, a member of the Court of Master Sommeliers oversees the excellent wine list.

3. Beach House
$$$ | |This refined eatery glamorously channels South Beach and Santa Monica, with a sleek black bar, an earthy color scheme, and sparkly ecru curtains dividing dining spaces. Executive chef Sandy Tuason (who apprenticed with the Roux brothers, Daniel Boulud, and David Burke) masterfully adapts Mediterranean and Asian influences to local traditions and ingredients to create a "coastal cuisine" menu that offers mostly small plates and large plates to be shared family style. Seafood is the star, unsurprisingly (Tuason's marine version of a charcuterie plate makes a marvelous meal). But the mouthwatering sous vide beef tenderloin is a winner, too. Pairings are suggested for each dish, and the wine list features several fine CI$40 options and some surprising high-end bargains. Wine Master dinners pair several courses with wines (from Marchese di Barolo to Gosset Champagne), often introduced by guest winemakers or owners from as far afield as Tuscany, Australia, Napa, and Chile.

4. 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.

- Delectable fish tacos

6. 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.

7. 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
