The Lighthouse

Dinner for 2 on the Balcony

It was another lazy, sunshiny day in East End, Grand Cayman. We kept our food intake low all day in anticipation of our dinner reservation at the Lighthouse tonight.  Making a reservation for tonight as we left after lunch on Monday definitely paid off.  I think I mentioned that they have one table for two on a small deck over the water behind the restaurant.  When we arrived for dinner tonight we were thrilled to be led out to that table.  

Mussels with Tomatoes and Spinach

As you can see in the photo here, we enjoyed a sunset dinner with the waves gently lapping the coral shore below us. We started with Mohitos and appetizers.  Ray had a Ceasar Salad and I had Chilean Black Mussels garnished with warm tomatoes and spinach.  For dinner, Ray enjoyed Chicken Parmesan  and I had the chef's special, Spinach Gnocchi with chicken and walnuts in a mushroom sauce, paired with a nice Pinot Grigio.  For dessert Ray had an Almond Napoleon and I had Cardamon Creme Brulee'.  

I do love this restaurant.  I am telling you, this chef can do no wrong in my book, and the service couldn't be better.  As we ate, an Ag plane flew past low along the shore several times as he made his circuit over interior fields.  We enjoyed watching him fly off into the sunset almost as much as we enjoyed watching the waves. We finished the meal with specialty coffees. 

What a wonderful evening.    I don't know what tomorrow will bring and I don't care.  This has been a perfect day.
