Calypso Grill

Calypso Grill Review

Shack chic describes this inviting split-level space splashed in Dr. Seuss primary colors that contrast with brick walls, hardwood furnishings, terra-cotta floors, trompe l'oeil shutters, and (real) French doors opening onto sweeping North Sound views. If the interior is like stepping into a Caribbean painting, the outdoor deck serenely surveying frigate birds watchfully circling fishing boats is a Winslow Homer canvas brought to life. George Fowler's menu rightly emphasizes fish hauled in at the adjacent dock, so fresh (and never overcooked) that it almost literally jumps from the plate. You'll never go wrong with the unvarnished catch of the day grilled, blackened, or sautéed. Though this is seafood turf, landlubbers can savor a veal chop with morel-marsala sauce or a proper rack of lamb. End with the sticky toffee pudding.

    What an amazing restaurant. We ended up here accidentally for lunch and just had to come back for dinner. The decor is enchanting and intimate, as well as very carribean. The food was wonderful and we savored everything we ate. Two things that are a bonus are the outdoor patio and the service.

    We loved our time here so much, we booked our final night on Grand Cayman there as well. The atmosphere and the staff are warm and inviting. Sitting inside or outside (we did each) were equally enjoyable and the food was great.

    The restaurant is in Morgan Harbor overlooking the marina. Outdoor dining is very romantic. Inside is beautiful and romantic as well. Food is great! Make sure you get the sticky toffee pudding. It is to die for. We have been there many times. We save that for our last meal every year when we go to Cayman.
