Neptune Restaurant Cayman Islands

Filed under: Restaurants — Tags: , , — CaymanBoy @ 7:05 pm

As I live in West Bay and work in George Town I drive by my favourite Italian Restaurant twice daily, so it's always reminding me to pop in and try the best Lasagna in The Cayman Islands.

I guess it's the slow season as when we walked to the restaurant tonight even the outside bar was empty, and when entering the actual restaurant there was only one table occupied with two people.

I'm very familiar, as would be expected, with the entire menu, so didn't need much time to look through it :-)

For starters tonight the Insalata Caprese was my choice – three large tomato slices each with a whopping cut of buffalo mozzarella ontop, and covered in a thick Basil dressing – this must be the best Caprese Salad in all of The Cayman Islands I think?

For the main I went for the Lasagna as I always seem to do these last several visits – is it the best in The Cayman Islands? YES, I've tried them everywhere here and Neptune is #1, no argument!

As an aside the bread they bring to the table before the starter is delicious – mix this with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil and you'll think you're in Italy again.

Total cost for two CI$62.

Will I be back? Si!

Seven Restaurant at The Ritz, Cayman Islands

Filed under: Restaurants — Tags: , , — CaymanBoy @ 9:16 pm

Twice a year we travel to Seven Restaurant at The Ritz Hotel for an expensive celebration. I say expensive as we've never left there with a bill less than CI$200, and we don't even try the wine!

So we headed to Seven tonight and had a lovely seat overlooking the pool which looks exotic with the underwater lights at night.

The menu as ever was heavy due to the leather binding but also the prices inside. Any time there's a waiter and an assistant waiter I just see the "ka-chings" going off in their eyes.

Have you ever seen a CI$65 steak? nope, well check the menu in this restaurant and you'll spot several varieties with the cheapest at CI$50.

So on this night I opted for the French Onion Soup which is not just the best in the Cayman, but I suspect the world – well apart from my mums.  One HUGE bowl of delicious soup was the start of my great evening.

We were lucky tonight as there was a "Sunday Special" of Prime Beef with Yorkshire Pudding, so two orders of these were placed along with some French Fries and "wild" mushrooms.

Imagine a juicy medium 16 Oz steak three centimeters thick, well that's what arrived on my plate 15 minutes later – that plus some greens and a medium sized Yorkshire pudding. There is simply no better tasting steak in Grand Cayman that this one!

The French Fries were strangely reminiscent of Legendz - perhaps the chefs are playing musical chairs again. Oh I consider Legendz to have the best fries on Island, just to clarify.

So how to top such a lovely meal? well of course – dessert ! Garcon.

Dessert menu arrives and what jumps straight out of the page? Chocolate Lava Cake – yum yum, massarap, aroy – so good I learned to bake it myself about a year ago!

Total Bill: CI$190
