Don't know what was going on with this place. We went to bar and all employees seemed confused except the hostess. Even the manager or head girl was like rushing around. I don't think either people showed up for work and they were short handed. It didn't seem that busy, maybe the staff that closed didn't restock because the bartender seemed to be stocking stuff that should have been done. Then the whole staff was behind the bar getting all there own stuff. It was very entertaining to watch. We had a beer and calamari beer was good calamari was ok seemed greasy. We decided to leave, place just seemed in disarray. We will give it another try another night.

I ordered the cob tuna salad with the salad dressing on the side. The server brought it out with the dressing on the side and salad dressing on the lettuce. Mind you the dressing did taste good but when your watching calories. The server finally came back to check on us and I told her about the mix up on the salad dressing. She offered to bring me another salad but I declined because my husband was almost done with his meal. The manager came up to us and offered me something else and I again declined. He then said he would take it off our bill. I never asked for them to do this. I had eaten the tuna and it was prepared correctly, I told them this and the dressing was lovely but I wanted it on the side not dressed. The restaurant was also setting up for a wedding reception and the help were rather loud while setting up. I would give this restaurant another chance it is a lovely restaurant on the back bay on the canal. I just feel the server should have checked our orders before bringing them out to us.

There are not enough wonderful things to say. We made reservations for 11 and were seated right away when we arrived. We sat inside as a rainstorm had just come through, but the view was amazing and just as lovely as sitting outside. It is a little fancier than a standard beach restaurant, but is still casual enough and perfectly family friendly. The chargrilled oysters were delicious, the red snapper perfectly cooked, the enormous plate of fried shrimp was amazing. My one complaint is that one of us wanted to substitute a wedge salad for the house salad (which comes standard with most meals). They are both $5 on the menu if ordered independent, and it seems that would be a fair substitution. However, they wouldn't substitute out the salad, so if he'd wanted the wedge salad he had to pay $5 extra and just order one. My kids loved the huge tank in the middle of the restaurant, which is the home to stingrays and other fish. The staff brought the kids raw shrimp to feed them, which just added to the delightful experience.

Best fried shrimp in Gulf Shores!! I'm glad I didn't listen to the other reviews. We almost picked another place. Very nice restaurant! Made reservations for 6 people at 6 pm and got here and was seated immediately. Very big inside and seating outside, but chose to sit inside because it was very hot. While we waited on our food they had a balloon guy walking around making balloon animals, face painting for kids and live music. Great atmosphere for kids. Food was great. We had fried shrimp and the grilled shrimp on skewers and they were they best shrimp around. Husband had the ribeye and it was perfectly cooked and flavored. Highly recommend this place!

My friends & I came in for the Red Plate specials - we were targeted by their FaceBook ad. The beautiful entry & hallway have gorgeous handmade glass chandeliers; the hallway led to the inside bar, open kitchen and a very spacious waterfront dining hall. Their outdoor bar & patio overlook Wolf Bay & Bay La Launch but it was too hot to sit outside. The staff were very friendly and seated us by the glass windows. We ordered the Cayman Shrimp, BBQ Pork Sliders, Bacon Cheese Fries & Jamaican Jerk Chicken skewers off the $5 menu and CG Oysters from the regular menu. We were a little disappointed that the kitchen had not prepared the Tuna Dip for today's happy hour. The place wasn't busy; our food was served in 15 minutes. We relaxed and enjoyed the gorgeous view while we ate. The happy hour specials were good, nothing fantastic. Our least favorite was the jerk chicken skewers which were bland; no jerk flavor at all. It was not served with Jezebel sauce - perhaps that would have made it more palatable. In my opinion, the BBQ pork sliders were the best deal of the bunch - the meat was flavored well and a single plate of 3 could be a meal on its own. The Bacon Cheese Fries and Cayman Shrimp were okay; but for $5, I still prefer The Beach House Kitchen's happy hour jumbo-sized Coconut Shrimp. *Our CG Oysters never made it to our table, we had to ask for the item to be removed from our bill. However, when we had already settled up & were just chatting, the kitchen sent out our "missing" plate of crispy oysters which we declined.* Overall we had a good time, the saltwater tank was cool; we enjoyed seeing how the bull reds rushed over when the water was tapped a couple of times. It was very nice to stroll down their pier after our meal. I plan to bring my out-of-town guests for dinner out on their patio and order off their regular menu next time.

An excellent dining experience! Our reservation was for 6pm. We were greeted and seated promptly at a beautiful table by the window. Our waiter was at our table within a couple of minutes to take our drink order. We ordered our drinks- I got a Sangria and the husband ordered a beer. We received them within ten minutes. Only complaint was that when our meals were brought out we had to ask for bread. I gave this restaurant 5 stars anyway because in the past times I have been there I have had nothing but exceptional food and service.
(5)Michael L.
Atmosphere is key here, but I'm afraid they rely too much on environmental appeal and not enough on flavor. You can't beat the views. The food, however, leaves much to be desired. If a restaurant has grilled chicken on the menu, I consider it the linchpin for the chef. If you can't pull off the grilled chicken, there are some serious problems in the kitchen. As such, the menu offers a 10 oz serving of grilled chicken. A 6 oz (at most) serving was delivered. A small breast connected to a wing. Seriously? A chef should know better than to serve a chicken wing at that price point. The flavor? Completely absent. Not a single bit of marinate or season to be detected. Seeing as how satiation completely escaped me, I tried some other dishes at the table. They were certainly better than the chicken, but definitely not worthy of the environment they were served in. The staff was friendly. A tad bit forgetful, but the server could have been a new hire for the seasonal rush. Overall, I'd consider coming back, but would probably stick to drinking at the outside bar and order from the appetizer menu. Surely you can't screw that up?
(3)Linda H.
So disappointed!! I hate to even give it one star. I had been looking forward to my second visit here and was thrilled to find that they took reservations. Made a reservation for eight, arrived on time, was seated fairly promptly, and then it went downhill. Our server had a simply horrible attitude - sullen, petulant, not friendly at all. Never checked to see if we wanted more drinks (we did), was really snippy when we asked where our appetizer was - "it's going to be a while; the kitchen is slammed." Long and short of it: we were seated around 8 and left at 9:55, never having gotten our dinners. The two managers with whom we spoke were clearly trying to make it right, but to no avail. And we were not the only table who left! Yes, I know it's a holiday weekend, but, trust me, there was no excuse for this type of delay - the restaurant was only about three quarters full when we got there and less than half full by the time we left. I had wanted to have a special dinner with my children and their spouses, but instead it was a real nightmare.

We had a party of 9 and 6 of the 9 had great food experiences. Really dry shrimp is a bummer and dropping another's dinner was worse and screwing up fried shrimp was really bad. Wait staff was good but the inside decor and balloon animal maker kinda put a damper on the dining experience.
(3)Melanie W.
Usually love this place.. But i had the ribeye and it tasted like nothing at all. I added salt and butter. I took another bite and thought i broke a tooth on the shards of bone in the meat... My dinner was over at that point. I was put off by this time. Goat cheese was great and the mashed potatoes we good.
(3)Deanna S.
The location is perfect with a beautiful atmosphere. Dinner was all very flavorful, filet mignon was very tender and well seasoned. Mac and cheese lacked seasoning, but everything was fresh and tasty.
(5)Deb R.
What a great find!!! I can't believe there isn't a wait each night to get in!!! I arrived with a group of eight at 6:30 and was seated immediately. Beautiful decor....inside and out. Food was cooked to perfection and we had a wonderful time. Our waitress was attentive and very sweet. We will be back!
(5)Matthew V.
Went for Sunday brunch. I haven't been to many places around the area but I've lived in Houston and Baton Rouge so I know a good place when I see one. The restaurant itself has a beautiful decor - cathedral ceilings, big beams, copper ducts and beam tie ins. The menu was pretty expansive and they had good brunch options. Drinks were solid and the outside dining area was really nice. They also brought out fresh bread and cinnamon rolls ex Gratis. All in all, great spot.
(5)Chris B.
We came here on a recommendation, but we were a little nervous based on some harsh reviews; however, all 11 in our party left happy and satisfied. The atmosphere is fun and Ron the Balloon Artist kept the kids entertained. We liked how spacious the room felt and enjoyed the live saxophone player. The Margherita Pizza was awesome. Other items we purchased was the fried shrimp, cheese grits, fish sandwich, mac and cheese, and swordfish with lemon risotto. The only reason I didn't give a five star was the steak fries. All-in-all, we'd come back.
(4)Nicole H.
Meh....the food was just ok, the service was cheerful but slower than a geriatric field trip, and the chef dropped the ball so hard on seasoning that it could be heard around the world. I had the grilled shrimp skewers: grilled well, but under seasoned and begging...screaming...CRYING for a sauce. The server offer a marmalade type mustard that was better left in the kitchen. The hubs had a grilled snapper that was good, but the mac&cheese fell down...way down. The lighting was terrible (fluorescent above beams) but the sting ray tank was cool. All in all, I'd skip it in favor of something more fun and with attention to flavor.
(2)Marc C.
Family of 8 went last evening for dinner. The service was great and the food was even better! Wood fired pizza for kids and seafood for the adults. Mixed Grill blackened was fantastic! Other members had the avocado salad, fried oysters and shrimp alfredo - all highly recommended! Great location with cool outdoor deck seating. We sat indoors and the kids loved the open saltwater fish tank...especially the sting rays!
(5)Sarah W.
* this restaurant contacted me to make it right. Major props!* No wait on a Thursday night. Great atmosphere. Loved the decorations. Beautiful view as well. However, we waited almost an hour...maybe more...for our food. Don't get the stir fry vegetables or chicken skewers. I'm not a picky eater but couldn't even chew the chicken it was so tough. Oh well. I won't return.
(2)Erin B.
Beautiful view. Interesting and different but simple menu. The menu changes a bit every week. They list where each fish comes from. What we ordered and liked: The bread basket was far from ordinary. We loved the cheddar jalapeneo rolls. The broiled oysters were full of flavor and went perfectly with toasted French bread slices. I had a margherita flat bread. The cheese was quality and didn't disappoint. The menu included many items that sounded interesting and have me wanting to go back to try them. 3 people at our table ordered steaks that they said were very good. My husband ordered the mahi and had the whole thing eaten before I ate my first piece of pizza.
(4)Kit W.
Came for Sunday brunch. Very good food. Crab cakes Benedict was delish, cheese grits were some of the best I've ever had. Husband had ham and cheese omelet and he liked it very much. Mini muffins brought to the table before food were very good. Nice atmosphere and great service by a new server, Bobby. Very polite and very nice. Will definitely come back!!!
(5)Tom J.
Outdoor patio beautiful view! Excellent waitstaff, good Sunday brunch selection. Made reservations for Easter brunch already.
(5)James H.
Our motel recommended this place, and it was excellent. We got the crab cakes with the mango and Vidalia onion salsa on it. Very tasty. I got bowl of shrimp bisque, and it was so rich and buttery tasting. My girlfriend had an awesome bloody Mary. Very good taste with 1 large olive and lemon and lime, and pepper. It had the well vodka and the drink was only $6, a bargain by Ohio standards where she pays $8 and usually does not care for them. For dinner she had grilled Cobia-reminded her of grilled shark her father prepared in Florida. She got mac n cheese and stir fry veggie medley-both very good but could barely take a bite. She was stuffed. I had the seafood mixed grill consisting of red snapper, swordfish and king-klip with mashed potatoes and oyster bread pudding. I had to get most of the fish and oyster bread putting to go. It was a wonderful meal and all staff was great, including our server, Christina.
(5)Heather R.
We almost didn't go here because of the yelp reviews. I'm so happy we didn't listen. This is the coolest place ever and definatly a highlight to our trip. My sister and I were traveling with our 5 kids to orange beach. This place was perfect for kids. We sat in the outside area. They had a large area where the kids could run around, a dock to watch the sun set, and live entertainment. It was beautiful, the food was good and we had so much fun that we stayed there 2 hours.
(5)Chelsea W.
Nice place for Sunday brunch! First off, this place is beautiful. Large dining room with tall ceilings and a large wall of windows facing the bay letting in tons of natural light. We opted to sit indoors, but they also have a huge outdoor deck with its own bar. I had the bacon cheddar burger which was pretty standard. Served with steak fries, it was really nothing to write home about. My Grandpa had the stuffed waffles which looked delectable! He said they had a great taste with grilled banana and mango slices. Next time I will definitely be trying that for myself! Service was nice. All staff was well dressed and presented themselves and the restaurant well. This place has a bit of a classier feel than others in the area. We will certainly be back!
(4)Jason D.
Great food. Atrocious service. Do not subject your family and friends to this place. Go to Fishers Upstairs--they understand fine dining. After tonight, we have cancelled 2 large dinners due to the fact that the front of the house took inept to a new level. Save your money and go somewhere. This is a disappointment for me to say because the food was top notch--when it arrived.
(1)Michele H.
Sat outside on the patio and the view was amazing! We had raw oysters and the shrimp appetizer. Both to die for! The fruit salad is so wonderful as well. Definitely will go again and recommend!
(5)Susan N.
Agree with reviewer Sara second time to try it and we won't be back! Had the crab cakes bland the grits bland and the bartenders the Worst I've ever experienced. However I would recommend Fishers good views great food and great service!!
(2)Darrell N.
This was my first time to this place and I was impressed with everything. The Kenny Chesney concert was going on the same night so it wasn't too crowded which was nice. It's a huge restaurant and sitting out on the back patio is nice if you have a big group, especially if your group is loud and tends to annoy other diners. I had one of the grouper specials and it was perfect. I can't wait to go back to this place the next time I'm in Orange Beach.
(5)Valerie W.
All I can say is save your money. The food is horrible , the service was dismal, and the price for the quality of food was not worth it. Beautiful restaurant, great view for outside dining. We went at night and had to use our cell phones to read the menu. We were told they only had 2 table lights. They brought me one glass of tea, and never came back to ask if I would like a refill. The steak was ordered medium and came out well done. The server left my plate of side items while the evening breeze left everything stone cold, and brought me another steak out 15 min later. It was average at best , and like I said, when the rest of the meal was cold who wanted it. My Caesar salad tasted like it just had lemon juice on it. My friend had the salmon salad and it had tuff stems left on the greens, and the dressing was tasteless. All in all if I pay $50 for just myself to eat, I expect more. Outback has a better steak. They need to up their game. We won't be back.
(1)K J.
Can't possibly understand any poor reviews I've seen here. 5 diners in my party.. We all got different things and they were ALL amazing!!! Pizza was delicious and kids meals big portions and only $4.95. I had the salmon salad... Which was AWESOME and came with this most Devine warm bacon vinegarette dressing. One got the fish sandwich.. Which was like $9-10... And grouper!! (Which is a big diff from all the other GS restaurants where the fish sandwich is typically swaii.. An Asian white fish. We will be going back again and again!!!
(5)Jeremy E.
We had lunch here. The food was great, the place was very nice, service was great, prices were reasonable. The kids loved the fish tank. Next time ill try them out for diner.
(5)Pattie J.
Beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. Great food, different from the ordinary fried seafood you get everywhere. I'd go again and again. It is pricey, but worth it.
(5)Susan R.
Huge space, really classy looking set up...all the makings of a "nice" restaurant. Giant fish pool and the view! Staff was nice and attentive. We went for a late lunch and it was still busy but far from crowded. Food was good. My companions had gumbo (excellent but spicy) and a salmon burger (great flavor and not fishy tasting). I had chicken salad which was just ok...could have used some seasoning. Prices were reasonable, we'd eat here again.
(4)A O.
Excellant food and beautiful decor! Definitely worth a visit. We would come back! View out back is fabulous. We went in January and got right in, but I could see this being very busy in the tourist season. We would consider this upscale.
(5)Keith R.
We live here.so we.have plenty of dining options. In all the choices we think this is the best kept secret IN THE AREA, hands down!!! The location is incredible. Sit on the outside deck if the weather is right. The deck overlooks the water with transient moorage if you want to come in from the water side. We come here to enjoy great.food, the water, the music, and incredible views. Watch dolphins swimming from the outside space. Tiki torches add to the beach feel. When they have live music it's 100% right-on beach vibe and even when it's canned music still captures the Jimmy Buffett feel. Tonight we had our favorite, bacon wrapped scallops. To die for! Nom Nom nom. Followed with the grilled asparagus and shrimp appetizer. Again, fantastic in every regard. Then we wanted something more but not a full dinner we talked to.our waiter Hayden and he negotiated a special plate of just the entree. Sitka Alaska halibut without the sides. Preston, the manager, recommended a wine pairing that was phenomenal It was AMAZING! Cedar planked deliciousness. After dinner we wanted a nice dessert wine and told our waiter to surprise us. Again Preston, the manager, sent over a wonderful fonseca port. It really was an evening to remember. The . restaurant is working through some growing pains but definately working hard to deliver a superior experience. We will be back soon and often.
(5)Haley C.
This restaurant is fantastic and a must stop for anyone in Gulf Shores! We had a party of 12 on a Friday night at 7 and were seated right away. All of us ordered different food, but everything was amazing. The salmon (although not a local fish) was extremely fresh and was the best fish I've ever had. A side of asparagus comes with 6 large shrimp on top of it. The menu changes frequently but has something for everyone. The food took longer than normal to come out but we had a large party and were enjoying our drinks and appetizers. We were not disappointed! I highly recommend this place.
(5)Mitch K.
This place was terrible. We waited 2 hours, our waiter ignored us all night, and our food was so-so. They also shattered a plate and cut my girlfriend's foot, made her bleed. People sitting around us also complained about poor service so it wasn't just us. Would highly recommend against this place.
(1)Grace O.
This is a pretty restaurant with a knock out view. Inside is a large tank/pool with stingrays and fish cruising around. Very cool. Oh and the food was very good. I had crawfish pizza that was to die for. Husband had blackened fish, brother fish and Mac and cheese and sister in law had a fabulous grilled romain salad with scallops. This is a great find but I worry that it's physically too large a restaurant to financially work. I hope it does!
(4)Laura H.
Great coastal cuisine. Beautiful dinning room overlooking the intercostal waterway. We ate overlooking the water and watched the sun set as we ate. We ordered the cheese plate for an appetizer and it was a generous helping of cheese, crackers, and other sides. The restaurant also overs a number of fish options. I ordered the red snapper plank grilled and it was delicious. Another member of our group ordered the wahoo plank grilled and it was also wonderful. Service was fantastic and top notch. Very pleased and we will be back next time we are down.
(5)Andy D.
It's always a sad thing when you go back to a restaurant that you really like and see so much potential, then realize, you may have made a grave mistake. Sometimes people read my stuff, so I wanna look good too! Firstly my second visit was very pleasant, we decided to do the gambit and order lots of appetizers and different entrees. Staff at the Cayman is excellent, unquestionable the best in an area where staffing can be challenging. The ambiance at the Cayman, is phenomenal, it blows away every restaurant in Orange Beach. Yes, not all get that million dollar water view, but you also feel your at a resort. The warm tones and lighting is excellent. The appetizers fell flat, really flat! I ordered the Woodfired Tangy Shrimp, sounds good, but when it comes so late to the table, with dry stale toasted bread and then to top it off, it's over cooked, eeehhh, I know they can do better. My friends ordered the Crispy Oysters, and Calamari. The oysters were the best I've ever had, excellent, they were gently cooked and plated nicely. The Calamari, well, I didn't even know what it was, The breading was cakey, the squid was chewy, and no flavor. I wish they would use the Humboldt Squid, it's far superior and a much tastier product.Also that batter that they use, it gotta go!!! The entrees, well all were excellent, I had the red Grouper, my friends had the Chilean Sea Bass, and the other had the Salmon. Everything was cooked perfectly and it was excellent. The desserts, there is only one that stands out. That is the Strudel (order it when you order your entree, it takes a while) my God this Strudel was perfect. Something that was far from perfect, was the Bread Pudding, it was horrible. It was dry croutons with carmel and powdered sugar. it sure did look good, but it was dry. This dove tails into two other items that we graciously got from the Cayman. A smoked fish dip and their bread. The fish dip was, yep fishy, very fishy. Not a good sign dip shouldn't be fishy. The bread that they served with it, once again dry, stale, blah! Finally, the bread. The bread sticks, tasteless, the bread it's self was dry, except they had a soft bread roll that was truly good. Finally a small criticism about a simple martini glass that they use, it lacks glass, cry's femininity and I as you can see just don't like it. I hate to beat on the Cayman so badly. If this was my first time experience at this restaurant, I probably wouldn't return. Yes, it's new and changes will come, but i touted this place so much, that my second visit was a small slap in my face.
(3)Lori R.
Love love love this place. The bacon wrapped scallops are fantastic. We prefer the outside deck if weather permits. Beautiful view, beachy music, tiki torches, just a lovely way to spend an evening. Inside the restaurant is a big open tank with fish and sting rays. That's pretty cool. The only thing I have had there that I didn't love was the calimari it wasn't awful but not great either. Our waiter Alex and manager Preston were both very attentive and pleasant. Preston gave us a recommendation for an after dinner port wine that was stellar.
(4)Mary A.
I can't understand the negative reviews? So charming and beautiful this place. It is 2 $ but I can't believe how great they prepared our fish! (Not fried) great place for sunset. Thanks for the suggestion Randy VRBO @ 28875 Perdido Beach Blvd. unit 3 I. Awesome. Loved loved loved the Cobb salad. And the special! Oh and btw, it closes at 9pm and one of the waitresses actually came over to the fish pond after closing time (like 30 minutes past close) to spend time with the families helping to feed the fish. Superb! Good people.
(5)David F.
Customer service is God awful all wait staff is extremely rude and unhelpful! The wait for the food took over an hour and a half and the portions are the smallest I've ever seen in a restaurant like this. I paid over $12 for 3 so called fish pieces and 5 fries . STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!!!!!
(1)Becky G.
Fabulous coastal cuisine by Chef Greg Buschmohle. The restaurant decor is a visual delight, from the blown glass ceiling lights, to the indoor saltwater tank with redfish and skates, to the wood-planked patio and pier. They offer a varied and extensive beer and wine selection, and the food is fresh, fresh, fresh. We had calamari with two delightful dipping sauces, a departure from the usual marinara. I had crab cakes from the small plates menu, and wood grilled asparagus topped by skewers of grilled shrimp, drizzled with vinaigrette. Husband had wood grilled snapper and grilled veggies. Everything was expertly done. The wait staff and hostesses were all friendly and contributed to a relaxed dining experience. We will definitely go again and bring guests to show off our great Gulf Coast culinary variety.
(5)Jude C.
Very nice atmosphere, we did Thanksgiving lunch here. There was a great variety to choose from, and for the price it was a great value. Everything was enjoyable, only reason not 5 stars is several things ran out, which could be a result of 2pm reservation and quite a crowd. Will definitely check this place out again
(4)Heidi G.
Heard many great things about this place so we decided to give it a try. Got there on a Friday at 7pm with a party of 9, was told it would be about 1 1/2 hour wait. Several of us ordered drinks & visited with each other. After waiting for 1hr was told we'd be seated in about 20 minutes. About 30 minutes later at 8:30pm was told we wouldn't be seated & have orders taken by the time the kitchen closes at 10pm & they just didn't know how to tell us earlier. My lasting impression is not very good now. Wish they would have been more honest with us when we walked in the door.
(1)S C.
I'm torn as to how best rate this restaurant. In town for vacation and heard about this place from some locals. I was quite impressed with the infrastructure, which includes a spacious indoor area complete with full island bar and sting ray pool. Then there is an outdoor patio area overlooking the water with its own bar and tvs. Hostess was less than friendly, as was our waitress, which put a bad taste in my mouth from the start. I will say that everyone else we came in contact with (server and another waitress) was very friendly! Needless to say, this place was not welcoming or warm. Conversely, the food was quite delicious! Blackened grouper was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection! Mac n cheese is to die for. Do yourself a favor and stay away from their coleslaw - it's just weird. The chargrilled oysters were descent. Not the best I've had - just par for the course.
(4)Christina S.
Visited Cayman for dinner on a Thursday night. I have to start by telling you to ask to be seated in Lauren's section if you ever visit this restaurant. She was an absolute delight!! I was in a party of three and we each selected a different entree for dinner. My mahi mahi was cooked perfectly and my side dishes of grits and mac & cheese were equally well prepared. Another entree selected was the filet, which was cooked exactly to specifications and was tender and flavorful. The whipped potatoes and grilled vegetables were good, but nothing spectacular. The final entree was a combination of mahi mahi and wahoo, with different salsa topping each fish. I think it was probably the best meal of the three. I would definitely return here if/when I return to Gulf Shores.
(4)Jim B.
The good - pretty inside and outside dining areas. Spacious patio with great view of the bay. The goat cheese app. The bad - nearly everything else. We didn't get the sense the staff was all that happy to be there. While our server was friendly and somewhat attentive, she and the rest of the staff carried a look of exasperation on their faces the entire time we were there. There didn't seem to be much communication between the wait, bar, and kitchen staff. Drinks and apps took too long to arrive, and our entrees arrived just as we were starting our salads. By the time we finished our salads, the entrees had gotten cold. I didn't try the other entrees, but the shrimp skewers I ordered were rather bland, albeit cooked perfectly. They needed something else, maybe a sauce of some kind. The other diners at the table picked at their food and seemed rather unimpressed as well. Overall, the hiccups in service can be overlooked if the food is noteworthy or the restaurant is busy. The indoor dining room was practically empty though, and the food just fell flat. Perhaps it was just an off night, but when paying $30+ per entree I at least expect the staff to act appreciative of the patrons, and overall we just didn't get the sense any of the staff, including the manager, was appreciative of us being there.
(2)William S.
Had a wonderful dining experience, topping of a birthday celebration. The food and service were perfect, matched with a beautiful dining experience. We will be back with our friends!
(5)Larkin T.
First no specials where told to us just the same preprinted menu "specials" that they always have. As we are ordering drinks we were told that we needed to go ahead and put our food order in as the kitchen is running about an hour behind. I ordered a wedge salad and was told they are out iceberg what restaurant runs out of iceberg lettuce. We were then told that they were out of pizza dough so no pizza but they brought us bread and crackers to tide us over until our main meal arrived. We we're not the only table that was disgusted with the service apparently everybody else in the restaurant had the same mood as us as there was a pungent odor of distain upon the restaurant. I will not be coming back here and as I from here it will not bother me I just feel sorry for all you other people who don't know any better.
(1)Barbara P.
Visited Cayman Grill for the first time Saturday night and loved it. They have a lot of seating, both indoors and out. We sat outside since the temperature was just about perfect for dinner, and the sunset was truly amazing. Our server was attentive and friendly. The food items we tried were the Cobb salad (huge - a meal in itself), a filet, and the halibut. We definitely will go back.
