Cracked Conch Restaurant & Macabuca Tiki Bar

We had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely outstanding — the lobster with risotto and the octopus were both cooked to perfection. Our kids said it was their favorite and most delicious meal they’ve ever had! They ordered a special request fettuccine Alfredo, and it was a big hit. The tuna salad was also incredible — the tuna was fresh and full of flavor. Our server, Michael, was extremely polite, attentive, and made the evening even more enjoyable. The service overall was truly top-notch. The kids especially loved the sorbet served between courses — the cranberry and orange flavors were refreshing and fun. We highly recommend sitting on the terrace — even though we came very late at night, it was still beautiful with a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend this place — truly a memorable dining experience!

We ate outside which allowed us to take advantage of the restaurant's great location so we could enjoy both the view of the Caribbean Sea and its waves hitting the shore as well as the dishes served. The dishes were very good, the service was very nice and friendly. A place worth recommending, especially for seafood lovers.

Nice Oceanside bar at a super easy access snorkel and dive walk-in. Gorgeous reef if you're willing to swim out 100m, over about 30-60 get deep water. Almost no current, so it was an easy snorkel, with breathtaking views to the bottom through crystal clear water. Typically-overpriced Cayman drinks and food but their cocktails were fun and tasty. Didn't get food, just kept switching between drinks and snorkeling. Upon next visit to the island, will beeline there to rent dive gear and walk on in to explore the reef!

We went here back in 2012 and came back this year (2025). The food was outstanding back then and they stepped their game up even more. It’s an elegant menu in a great casual setting with the most amazing view at sunset. Easily our best meal during our vacation on GC. I would say this is a must visit if you’re coming to GC.

Whats not to love? Specifically speaking of the bar, bohemian chic with of course, seaside, diver, nautical flair. Breezes sweep in off the ocean, offering refreshment, in addition to whatever might be in your glass. Waitstaff is ultra friendly, food is gastropub delicious and the environment encapsulates the very best part of being on Grand Cayman, a mashup of locals, expats, tourists, and everyone else wanting a piece of paradise. Unpretentious, uber cool.

Edit. Changed my review to a 1 star after another trip with atrociously bad service. Check the other 1 star reviews, they say the same thing. Shame, too. It's a beautiful location, the food is pretty good, but the service is crap. An automatic gratuity makes for lazy servers. A fed dog doesn't bark as they say.

New best restaurant experience✅🏆 We were warmly greeted by the host and walked to our table right by the water (we got extremely lucky with these seats, but all the outdoor seating was gorgeous). Our server, Michael, was very kind, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. Service was impeccable. We got our starter so fast, then we were given a raspberry ginger sorbet to cleanse our pallets for the main course, which came soon after. Seriously, I was shocked at the level of professionalism and class of this team. And of course, the food was excellent! We got the chicken and duck, which were both fantastic, with delicious, well-presented sides. I will say we got really lucky with a great sunset and a cloudless, starry night, which definitely added to the magic of this dinner, but even without that, the setting was super classy and had nice lights around the deck, so I think it would be a great experience any night, especially with such great service and food. A well-earned 5/5 Just one suggestion: It would be nice to have the online reservation system be a little more automated rather than getting a call to confirm the reservation just a few hours before. We were wondering the whole morning whether the reservation would be confirmed or not and if we should make another reservation somewhere else

We ate at Macabuca three times during our 9 day stay on Grand Cayman. Two lunches and one dinner. Food is good. Service and atmosphere is great. Dive shop on site has good equipment to rent. Great dive site for beginners and experienced divers.
