Reservoir Lounge

52 Wellington St E · Toronto

5 / 5.0 Editor's Pick

I went to Reservoir Lounge for my birthday dinner and live entertainment on Sunday, September 20th, and it turned out to be a great choice for a Sunday night. The fish cakes were excellent; as my friend put it, you could "taste the sea," in the best possible way. We also ordered the pizza with everything on it, the last one on the menu, and it was so fresh and delicious that we ordered a second one. The lychee martinis were okay but not a highlight. The star of the evening was Xavier Solis, an amazingly charismatic singer who performed old-school soul and pop hits and even serenaded me with Happy Birthday. The room feels like an old speakeasy, with a low ceiling, red lighting, a small stage, and plenty of room to dance. I highly recommend it for dinner, live music, and the option to get up and dance.

5 / 5.0 Editor's Pick

We got to Mango Tree around 8pm on Thursday, September 10th for karaoke and grabbed seats right beside the DJ booth, which turns into the dance floor later in the night. Getting there early meant I could get on the mic before the crowd built up. Within an hour the place filled up fast, with singers taking turns and a bachelorette party in colorful wigs cranking the energy even higher. We ordered the fried chicken with rice and peas around 9pm and both were fresh, hot, and well seasoned. If you're in Grand Cayman on a Thursday night, Mango Tree should be on your list. Come early for a seat, stay for dinner, and watch the night get progressively more entertaining.

5 / 5.0 Editor's Pick

We got to Starfish Point around 2pm on Tuesday, September 8th and ended up staying four hours, which says everything. It wasn't crowded, just a few locals and a boat of snorkelers passing through. There really are starfish, several sitting in clear thigh-high water a few steps offshore, no swim or tour required (just don't pick them up, it can kill them). The water was calm and warm with zero smelly Sargassum, plenty of natural shade, free parking, and no admission fee, so bring your own chairs and drinks. It feels hidden among the rental villas, so trust Google Maps and keep going. Visiting between August and November? Bring mosquito spray.

Blue Sea Rentals

Cabana #4 · Seven Mile Public Beach

5 / 5.0 Editor's Pick

My girlfriend, her sister, and I spent the day on Seven Mile Beach on Thursday, August 27th and had a fantastic experience with Blu Sea Rentals. George met us in the parking lot to set up payment, and Neville took over on the sand, setting our chairs and umbrellas right by the water. Despite a full cruise ship crowd that day, George and Neville looked after everyone all day: adjusting our umbrellas as the sun moved, bringing free water and ice, and even running to the liquor store when we ran out of beer. That's service. The chairs and umbrellas are worth every dollar on that hot white sand, and this was one of our best beach days on the island.

Allora Cayman

Harbour Walk · 52a Edgewater Way, Grand Harbour

5 / 5.0 Editor's Pick

We stopped at Allora for coffee and dessert and loved it. My cappuccino was smooth and rich with perfect foam and latte art, and my girlfriend's Americano was just as good; this is a café that takes its coffee seriously. The carrot cake stole the show: soft, moist, full of flavor, with a creamy frosting that complemented it without overpowering it. The dessert case is full of cakes, pastries, and gelato, and walking past it takes real self-control. We sat outside in the courtyard, which has a relaxed atmosphere and games like cornhole and foosball, so a quiet coffee break turned into a surprisingly competitive round of foosball.

Jacks Beach Bar

5 / 5.0 Editor's Pick

We visited Jack's on Tuesday afternoon, August 25th, and had a fantastic lunch right on the sand: open-air, plenty of seating, and a great bar area even during the cruise ship rush. I ordered the Shrimp Boil (CI$19) with seasoned shrimp, corn, baby potatoes, smoked sausage, garlic butter, and Cajun spices. I've eaten Cajun food in Louisiana and this seasoning was dead on, with a generous portion for the price. My girlfriend had the Birria Tacos (CI$16), braised beef with pepper jack, jalapeño, red onion, and a consommé for dipping; the beef was tender and the tacos were packed with meat. A highlight was meeting "Calico Jack" from the former Calico Jack's next door, who took time to chat with us and other patrons even as the place got slammed. That Shrimp Boil was one of the best things I ate on this trip.

My Island Dentist

Governor's Square · 23 Lime Tree Bay Ave

5 / 5.0 Editor's Pick

Olive had an excellent experience at My Island Dentist on Friday, August 21st 2026. She went in because the crown on her dental implant had become loose. Dr. Talia Davidson's office contacted the Toronto dentist who originally placed the implant to identify the correct implant system, took an X-ray, removed the loose crown painlessly, and re-cemented it properly, then took a second X-ray to confirm everything was in place. Olive had no pain during or after. Dr. Davidson was professional, skilled, and reassuring, and her assistant Nishi was excellent and attentive. They also have a WhatsApp number, which was one of the deciding factors in choosing them.
