Abacus

Food was better than a lot of other higher rated restaurants on the island. The oxtail spring rolls were great and so was the lobster bisque. I had the lobster tails, all you can eat, and they start by giving you four good size tails. I couldn't eat anymore. They are well prepared and nicely spiced. I wasn't crazy about the sticky toffee pudding; I thought it was lacking on the dates and overly sweet. Although the owner, or maybe he's the manager, was very pleasant when I arrived, my server was not great; he was more interested in helping other tables than serving mine.

Came here on a recent trip to Grand Cayman with a few friends in May, made reservations in advance for a Sunday evening. The restaurant is located in a commercial/shopping plaza area with a theater and large format supermarket nearby. When we arrived at 6:30pm, the restaurant was about 60-70% full, mostly groups of friends or couples. Half of the available seating is outside, which is nice to be closer to the live music, though also more directly in contact with the hungry mosquitoes also there for dinner. This is a surf and turf spot, so we ordered several items to share: 1) marinated conch ($16.95 KYD) was good, remind me of the text you takowasabi (marinated octopus with wasabi), but without the wasabi lol. The plantain chips provided a nice crunch to accompany the chewier conch. 2) scallop appetizer ($16.75 KYD) was well cooked and tender, though the price for two not particularly large scallops felt on the higher side. 3) Abacus salad ($12.95 KYD) good salad though nothing to write home about. 4) Bone-in Angus ribeye 20oz with herb roasted bone marrow, Caribbean lobster mac 'n cheese, onion rings ($64.95 KYD) + Caribbean lobster tail ($10.00 KYD), I didn't try this but my friends enjoyed it. 5) Seafood risotto ($37.95 KYD): was creamy and rich, decent risotto. 6) Dry aged burger ($19.95 KYD): brioche bun, aged cheddar, crispy bacon, onion and tomato confit, swapped out fries for a salad. This is possibly one of the best burgers I've had in a really long time. It was delicious and I couldn't finish it so asked to take half of the burger to go, but they ended up throwing it away, which I was kinda annoyed at. They tried making amends by giving a free brownie for dessert but it really was nothing special compared to the burger so this final experience didn't leave the best taste in my mouth.Overall the food was good for a fancy night out. Def on the higher side for prices so plan ahead. The live music was really fantastic, they took some requests too, a few of the more enthusiastic customers sitting outside even got up from their tables to dance at one point.

I've been to this restaurant twice since visiting Grand Cayman and it has not disappointed me. It's located in a huge shopping plaza in Caymana Bay. Reservations are made through their website and for us traveling from the states, they are very responsive through email for confirming the reservation. The staff is very courteous. They have both outdoor and indoor seating. Enjoy the all-you-can-eat lobster meal or four-course prix fixe menu, while listening to the sounds of Caribbean music around you. This Caribbean-infused fish and steakhouse is a definite place to visit
