JUST ACROSS the road from the world-famous Seven Mile Beach, Deckers Caribbean Inspired Grille is one of Cayman’s go-to spots for fresh seafood.

It’s hard to miss, thanks to the London double decker bus that forms the bar, and the frequent live music permeating the eatery courtesy of local group Hi-Tide.

But Deckers is really all about the lobster.

Every Tuesday and Saturday night, Deckers offers all-you-can-eat Caribbean lobster, a tour de force that, if done properly, will make the rest of the week’s meals simply unnecessary.

Deckers is simply a must-visit on any trip to Grand Cayman.

And did we mention the lobster?
