| " | Greetings from Colorado, USA! Please let me know your opinion of what are the six best restaurants on GC. I'm particularly interested in restaurants which specialize in the highest quality of food prepared with the finest ingredients, and where the chefs are oriented to experimentation, fusion, taking risks, changing their menus regularly, etc. The reason I ask for your input is I am in the organic olive oil business, will be on GC in mid-June, and intend to develop new business for our fine oils in addition to visiting our important customer there -- The Ritz Carlton - Grand Cayman. Thank you!" |

| " | Hello! What a great website! Very informative regarding restaurants. I see that Eats is listed, but just wanted confirmation that they have reopened after Hurricane Ivan. I hope so. Also, the Crow's Nest. I didn't see it listed and had heard when we were there last May, that they weren't going to reopen. Is that the case? I would truly hate that because that restaurant was very good, intimate and the staff were exceptional! We are arriving back to the island on Tuesday for two weeks and are looking forward to finding some of the old places repaired and reopened. Please let me know about Eats and The Crow's Nest." Thank you so much!!" |

| " | I know that Casanova's was wiped out by the hurricane, but, I thought it was re-opening this winter/spring. I haven't seen or heard anything regarding this for some time. Is it still planning on re-opening? We ate there a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. We will be back for an extended vacation this summer and we are hoping to be able to eat there again. Any info you have would be great! Thanks so much. Your website is great!" |

| " | I've found this restaurant guide to be very helpful. We'll be returning to Grand Cayman, to vacation, in a couple of months and this guide has answered a lot of my questions about which restaurants are open. When we were there in 2002 we ate at Outback Steakhouse located in The Strand, and had a great meal and was served by a friendly waitress. I've emailed Outback Steakhouse asking if the restaurant will reopen. I was sorry to received the following response: -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Outback in the Cayman Islands will not be returning Sherri Jones |

Did not like the red color -- couldn't read very well... 2. Your intro said menus -- could not find any 3. Was looking for a restaurant that specialized in "turtle steaks" -- hoped your site could help -- it did not. " |

you for responding. We took your advice and had a turtle steak sandwich at the
Turtle Farm. It was great! Would liked to have tried a true "steak"
at one of your finer restaurants but our ship left before the restaurants opened at 5:00. Not to worry -- gives us something to look forward to on our next visit to your wonderful island. Thanks again. " |

We are taking our 3 children, ages 11-15, and they were thrilled to find many of their favorite restaurants there-ie. Hard Rock Café, the Outback. Their fear of starvation was alleviated!!! It also helped us decide which places we'd like to try by previewing the menus. Thanks again… " |

Thanks again for making our trip more enjoyable before we even leave. " |

| " | I recently visited the Cayman Islands and dined at the Reef Grill. For dinner, I ordered their roasted chicken soup for an appetizer, and it was positively some of the best soup I have ever had. I am trying desperately to contact either the restaurant or at least find a similar recipe. If you have any information or advice concerning this matter, please let me know. Thanks very much… " |

| " | I discovered your site via Yahoo and have already contacted Papagollo's regarding a group of 40 for a private dinner function. I understand there is another restaurant called Chef Tell? (Editor's note: this is the Grand Old House). It was not listed on your site. Are you familiar with them? Has there been a name change? I am attempting to book a group of 71 for dinner on Wednesday, May 23, 2001. Any advice you can give would be appreciated!" |

like an excellent website and the information is very helpful for an upcoming
trip. One small item to note is the color of the background. With the red background and pink lettering it is not real easy to read when printed. Any possibility of changing the print to another color?" |
