"The Lobster Pot A local institution, the Lobster Pot serves up its crustacean namesakes, among other Caribbean delicacies, on a vista-blessed seaside deck. If you can, arrive at sunset for the nightly tarpon feeding (much more engrossing in person than you'd imagine). And even if you don’t get there exactly at the appointed hour, you can still spot these giants as they continue to patrol the dramatically floodlit waters off the restaurant’s deck for leftovers. As you take in the view, you’ll be eating the likes of lobster-and-mango salad, lobster bisque, or lobster sautéed in a tomatoey, peppery blend and served with fried plantains, rice, and beans."
Watching the sunset, the comfortable sea breeze, and the many fish swimming leisurely in the water... all this beauty was ruined by the excessive mosquito bites outside... so we had to move indoors to eat.
The interior is old-fashioned and you have to walk up stairs to get to the restaurant (I don't know if there is an elevator).
French snails are the appetizer we often order, but the taste here may be innovative and different from the traditional taste...
Caribbean lobster tails are a must-order dish whenever I see one, but was I unlucky today? The taste and texture were disappointing, with a chewy texture.
If you are afraid of mosquitoes, don't sit outside to eat. Many people go indoors because of this. I am very troubled by mosquito bites on my skin.

Excellent sunset dinner experience. There is a beautiful view of the water from the patio seating and we had a lovely meal of fresh seafood. There are shades on the patio.
We started with a cocktail. I had the spicy Maggie and it had some good heat from the scotch bonnet tequila!
Then we split the coconut shrimp and jerk pulled pork spring rolls. They were delicious!!
I also tried the conch chowder. It was good with lots of meat but I probably wouldn't order again.
Then we split the yellow curry seafood, Cayman trio, and fresh grouper of the day blackened. All were amazing. Seafood was super fresh and well prepared. So many flavors.
We finished with the creme brulee if the day which was white chocolate and raspberry. It was very tasty!!
Service was excellent. Well timed and very friendly.
We arrived around 545 and had no wait.

We came back here for our 10th anniversary to the island of Grand Cayman and celebrate our anniversary dinner here at the lobster pot. The food is delicious on our server was very attentive and we felt like we were very special guests knowing it was our anniversary. We shared a bowl of lobster bisque soup as well as their Cayman trio dinner. For dessert we had a key lime pie with mango sauce. It was to die for by far the best key lime pie we had and the mango sauce is what made the big difference. We also enjoyed the sunset from the beautiful dining patio seating. Highly recommend this place for at least one of your meals!!🥰❤️

Cannot fault it: great food, fresh, generous portions and great views. We had 5 in our party so got to try quite a range and while budgets weren’t stretching to $60 for a lobster tail, pop just what we had was great. The sandwiches came with a generous portion of fries, the lobster salad had generous pieces of lobster and everything was fresh and lovely. Just need to be careful of opening times as it closes between lunch and dinner.
On a practical note, the sign outside was confusing as it suggested it was only open certain days for lunch, but we were fine on a Tuesday. Friday they do burgers which seems to be restricted to that day.

Had escargot 17.95, ceviche 15.95, lobster thermidor 65.00, rum cake 9.25 and Santa Margarita Pinot Grigio 55.00. Dustin was our server everything was fantastic. Arrive around 6:05 if you want to enjoy a few minutes before sunset which was at 6:30 for us. It gets dark after. They fed the tarpon down below around 7:35pm. Fun for the kids just fyi.

I had an unforgettable dining experience at Lobster pot where both the steak and seafood were absolutely outstanding. The steak was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor!
What really set this visit apart, was the service. Hayley and the team went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable meal. Hayley was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations. The entire staff were warm and professional, making us feel like valued guests throughout the evening.
All in all, it was a top-notch experience, and I can’t wait to return for another round of delicious food and excellent service!

One of the best restaurants I visited in Grand Cayman! As a bread pudding lover, I can say it's one of the finest I've ever had! I even returned just for dessert the night after dining in, and I plan to go back before I leave the island! The lobster thermidor was also delicious! P.S. Be sure to ask for Lee; he went above and beyond to make my experience wonderful.

Probably the best meal I had on my 5 day Cruise! Amazing choices for all kinds of fresh seafood! I had the seafood curry which was amazing and packed with lobster, scallops and shrimp! Lobster bisque, seafood trio , conch fritters and the turtle were also great also. A touch pricey but totally worth it!
