Music to My Ears – Unlimited Lobster Night

Posted on January 16, 2014 by lesleycarter

As an eastern Canadian, I would put my family to shame if I didn’t attend an unlimited lobster night. To be honest, I didn’t ever think I’d hear of unlimited lobster night; some things are just too good to be true. Yet every Wednesday night, Solana Restaurant at Marriott Grand Cayman offers an All You Can Eat Lobster Night! Their menu starts with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine, a special selection of appetizers, followed by a great lobster menu and topped off with a choice of desserts. Luckily, the plates are not too large and we were able to try almost everything on the menu.

Every dish was made fresh to order and the samples were truly unlimited. Just for you, I asked for a total of 6 pieces of dessert to make sure they were actually unlimited. I know, I know. You’re welcome.

My top 3 choices were:

Caribbean Grilled Lobster with Creole Sauce

Lobster Thermidor

Rib Eye Steak served with Chimichurri Sauce

Darren’s top picks were:

Shrimp Spring Rolls

Lobster Curry with Basmati Rice

Lobster Thermidor

We both loved all of the desserts so much that we had several “samples” each. The desserts included:

Sticky toffee pudding

Coconut key lime pie

Snickers bar

We’re not usually into all you can eat meals because the food is usually lacking and the choices are limited, but this was a delightful experience with fresh Caribbean lobster served on one of the nicest beaches in the world. It was such a mouth-watering experience that we’re thinking about attending the Friday night Buccaneer’s Feast too. I think Marriott Grand Cayman still has tons of pleasant surprises up their sleeve.

Arrgggg! All you can eat lobster? Am I understanding this correctly? I’m actually trying a cleanse. I’m on day one… of the pre-cleanse. I’ve got to shut my computer down till I’m done with it. It’s just too much torture. I don’t know if I’ll actually make it to the juicing part.
Have the most wonderful time and eat lobster for you, your family and all us readers out here. Wish I could take my husband! He’d put there numbers in the red on unlimited lobster night!
cheers …wendy

  Darren is trying to really manage his eating habits and bringing him to an all you can eat lobster restaurant was too much for his willpower. 😉

  Lobster is my first choice in seafood. There are not too many other things from the ocean that I eat, but I do love a good lobster. What is your favorite type of food?

Oh man! All you can eat Lobster!!!! I LOVE lobster. On my 18th birthday my parents got me a 10lb lobster. It wasn’t that good I think their meat is more tender when they are younger. Unfortunately I believe I can’t eat more than 7 lobster tails at a time…

This is making me wonder how much lobster I could eat?? Seems like quite a bit. If it were clams or shrimp, I’d probably eat myself sick. Sounds wonderful. I missed this on my trip to the Caymans. Next time…

Looks like the restaurant took all the fun out of the lobster feast……and that would be the mess you get into by cracking the shells on the claws and body, drinking the juice from the travelling feet and trying hard not to get all the lobster juice over your clothes! Shucks….all you had to do was pick up your fork and dive in!! So different from your feast in NB last August!!

I almost didn’t click in to read the rest of your blog. My tongue was hanging out as soon as I read “lobster.” But, my curiosity got the better of me. Not only is my tongue hanging out, my eyes are bulging out of my head, and my heart is going, “thump, thump” so loud, even I can hear it. In the end, I’m glad I read every last drop – er, word – of your blog. Wouldn’t have missed it for the world!! Thanks.
