Reef Grill At The Royal Palms

The Reef Grill in Grand Cayman, often also referred to a Royal Palms, Cayman, cleverly manages to combine three dining styles in a single location. Depending on your mood you can dine in the elegant and air-conditioned main Reef Grill Restaurant on Seven Mile Beach where you will find stimulating pieces of art adorning the walls at one end, and a cozy bar for pre-dinner drinks at the other. Alternatively you can chose to either dine outside on the lush tropical garden patio, or enjoy an ocean view from the newly constructed second floor restaurant where you will hear the waves lapping on the beach as you enjoy the cool evening breeze. Lastly, you might chose to eat at the beach-side bar while enjoying a house cocktail and in the evening listen to, or even dance to a live band playing soca and calypso. Which ever option you choose The Reef Grill Restaurant in the Cayman Islands is must if you are visiting Grand Cayman.

Indeed the Reef Grill and Royal Palms Beach Bar are the culmination of many years of experience of co-owners Don and Julie Loyd and Chef George Dahlstrom. Don and Julie first arrived on the Island in 1982 and started a number of successful restaurants: DJ’s and Almond Tree on the relatively fast paced Seven Mile Beach strip; and the Kaibo restaurant in the tranquillity of Cayman Kai. The strength of the partnership with Chef George Dahlstrom, which was formed in Stuart, Florida in the restaurant scene, has ensured Reef Grill’s continued success.

All the fish is fresh, all the steaks are hand cut, all the sauces, soups, stocks, breads and desserts are made in house, which gives the Reef Grill complete control over the quality they serve. A distinguishing feature of this restaurant is having the beauty of Seven Mile Beach as a backdrop. So it is not surprising that Frommer’s refer to the Reef Grill as one of Cayman’s finest restaurants and Fodor’s call the food ‘divine’.

Frommer’s Review “In the heart of Seven Mile Beach is one of Cayman’s finest restaurants. One of the helpful, experienced staff members will guide you through one of Cayman’s best wine lists” Fodor’s Review “Impeccable service by the knowledgeable wait staff is surpassed only by the divine food. The food is fresh and stunningly prepared, yet the prices for both food and wine are eminently reasonable.” Hurricane Ivan gave the Reef Grill an opportunity to re-evaluate how they could cater to their guests. By rebuilding the Beach Bar to incorporate a second floor they are able to offer residents and visitors a totally unique experience. You are able to enjoy great food and drinks overlooking the most beautiful beach and blue ocean Cayman has to offer.
