Morgan's Harbour

One night while we decided to go out for dinner at Morgan's Harbour for a nice night out. This was a seafood restaurant located in West Bay, Grand Cayman. There was an adorable outdoor patio right on the water to dine. I was so excited just by the looks of it, besides for the fact my hair was blowing everywhere because it was a little windy.

Once we started reviewing the menus, it was hard to choice because everything sounded so good. There was a whole page of items that was there catch of the day. Our waiter informed us that the restaurant uses only locally caught fish to satisfy their guests. You could be eating seafood that the local fisherman caught as early as that morning!

I decided on the Mahi Mahi with a glass of white wine. When the food arrived, the presentation looks amazing! I had Mahi Mahi with potatoes and asparagus. The fish melted in my mouth. I could not find a thing to complain about. My meal was perfect! After all of us were stuffed with delicious food, we still could not say no to dessert. You always have extra room for dessert, right? We decided to spilt a peanut butter ice cream pie because how could you say no to that? The waiter was a jokester and bought all of us tiny baby spoons and my cousin's husband a big spoon. The dessert was amazing even with a TINY spoon! Overall, it was amazing food, great service, and 5 stars! I wish I could eat here everyday!!

Alfresco

Alfresco was a restaurant that was recommended to us to eat at because of the great food. We glanced to the reviews for the restaurant before we went and people raved about the place and how great it was. After my experience I only somewhat agree to that. Alfresco has outdoor sitting on a patio right off the ocean. The view was fantastic, breathtaking actually. Everything on the menu was very reasonable compared to other restaurants in the area. We had some appetizers and I had a grouper fish for my entree. My company I was with had a pasta dish and pizza. All of us thought the food was great!


All of the food and wonderful scenery was ruined by the poorest service I have ever had unfortunately. Appetizers and dinner literally took 3 hours. I had a glass of wine, I would have liked to have another but the server didn't bother to ask. Our server never asked if we needed anything. She was not very friendly either. Our table was next to the staircase leading to the beach, which was good because the ocean kept my little cousin occupied while we waited for dinner. We had to find our server and ask them to get the check ready right after dinner because we did not want to be there any longer. Like I mentioned before the place gets great reviews, so maybe it was just a bad night. I would recommend this restaurant to others if there was better service.
