Cayman Islands
Will be in Cayman first week of Dec. for the third time.
Can someone tell me the 2 best fine dining spots (quality of food and atmosphere) and the two best local dining spots?
Also, who has the best snorkel trips? Have done Red Sail and the one across from Westin. Who takes you to the most fish?
Thanks.

Two best fine dining....always a matter of personal preference, but for me :
- Calypso Grill
- Ristorante Papagallo
..both in deepest West Bay
Local food ?
- Singhs Roti Shop (in downtown GT)...actually Trini food, but "local"
- Lorna's Jerk Stand in Pease Bay
Re Snorkel trip, make sure you book a day with fewest cruise ships in port....for smaller groups, suggest Red Baron charters
- Calypso Grill
- Ristorante Papagallo

I'll have to agree with the recomendation of the Reef Grill as one of the best, we usually eat there twice when we visit GC. You must try their signature Chilean Sea Bass, it is amazing.
Our 2nd choice for the best, and also very Romantic, is Smuggler's Cove. A small intimate place right on the water in Georgetown. The service is impeccable, food even better. Two suggestions here are the jerk duck appetizer, and for an entree, their lobster stuffed filet mignon is incredible.
I'll also agree with Tom's choices as being excellent restaurants. Calypso Grill has a fishcake appetizer that is beyond words. Papagallo was also very good, with a very cool atmosphere. Good luck finding it on your first try....everyone we know has to stop for directions, but it's worth a try.
As far as snorkel trips go, just pick someone that keeps a light load of passengers. They all go to the same reefs for the most part. If you want to see a lot of fish, it's tough to beat Eden Rock from shore.
