Shangi-la. This waterside restaurant is swank, oozes atmosphere, and an ultra friendly waitstaff. Its beachside chic, and contemporary casual outside space to dine (intimate balcony setting for evening dining if you choose). Whether for dinner, or spending an afternoon lounging and snacking, the environment epitomizes the "lux" side of Cayman life. I almost expected to hear "Piper, noooo!!!" (White Lotus vibe) from a nearby table. The menu is one of a varietal nature, from gastropub, to high end decadence. Well executed and always fresh, its one of the "go to" places on Rum Point. If you're on 7 Mile, grab a ferry ride, and or charter a boat, and make this your destination, it feels intimate and exclusive, but not pompous or pretentious. It is well executed island dining, leveraging every ounce of the resolute beauty of the island.
