My love and I had the most amazing experience at The Lobster Pot! We vacationed on Grand Cayman in September, and while my review is severely delayed, the grand experience is still fresh in my mind!
I have various food restrictions/allergies, and contacted the restaurant ahead of our vacation. This is the only are where my experience could have been improved, as it took me reaching out a couple of times to get a response from the restaurant. However, once my contact understood the complexity of my restrictions, I was put directly in touch with Chef Kerry Ann. Can I say, she is not only an amazing chef, but such a warm and hospitable woman?! I submitted my list of restrictions, along with my list of safe foods. Chef Kerry Ann focused on my list of can-have foods, and crafted a delightful, safe, delicious, flavorful meal!
My first course was a ceviche with local fresh catch and freshly made plantain chips. Dinner consisted of another fresh catch of the day, prepared with flavorful white sweet potato mash, vegetable medley, and a coconut cream sauce. Everything tasted so divine!
We were also placed at a table directly over the water's edge, and in our opinion, was the best view in the house! We chose our dinner time to intentionally fall at sunset, and we were not disappointed! This was our one special dinner out during our stay, and it was a most memorable experience!
We will definitely be back, whenever we are able to make it to Cayman again!
Thanks again,...
Read moreNot even sure where to start. Currently here on my honeymoon and wanted to try all the fine dining the Cayman Islands has to offer, this was the absolute worst. Our server was not knowledgeable at all if we asked a question it seemed like he came up with his own answer on the spot. If you take a look at their menu, under Meats it says all served with baked potato. To be sure with what I ordered I asked about it and he stood there for a good 30 seconds trying to figure out the answer then said “no ma’am they don’t only some come with lobster mash.” So the menu is incorrect? Next our food came, we had asked for our meals to come cooked a certain way, you guessed it they came absolutely terribly. They were made wrong, and not as tasty as a meal you think would be at a fine dining like this. Our server and the manager did not like that we had complained began treating us very poorly, and at the end when we got our bill, our waiter whispered to my husband that they gave us 10% off like it was a secret to the other guests that saw us sitting there with meals then with none.
The only good thing about this place is that view. The owner should truly consider re-branding because it’s a shame to waste such an atmosphere on an expensive place that doesn’t live up to the standard. Wendy’s would’ve...
Read moreWe had a shore day on Grand Cayman during our cruise, and we were in search of a good meal with a nice view. We had made reservations for the afternoon, but they were able to easily accommodate us when our plans changed and we found ourselves in town when the restaurant opened
You can see the cruise ships from the deck. We watched a small school of Tarpon feeding near the shore while we waited for our food. The conch fritters were very tasty and came 4 pieces to an order. We had never tried turtle before and found it to be quite delicious. We almost ordered a second plate. The lobster thermidor was rich and cheesy with large chunks of lobster. The tuna ceviche special was also worth a mention
Our server was friendly, attentive, and shared a lot about her experiences on the island, and had no problem calling us a cab to head to our next stop on the island
As in many places we visited on our trip, be aware that there's a 20% auto-gratuity added to your bill. Also, if you're coming from the US, the Cayman dollar is stronger, so be prepared to pay more in US dollars than what you see on the menu. None of these had a negative effect on the experience and are only included as helpful tips to set expectations for future visitors
I would definitely eat here again given...
