If you are looking for a reason to book dinner somewhere special, themed dining nights are where Cayman’s dining scene really shines. Bite Club restaurants host regular experiences that combine great food with a sense of occasion, from chef-led teppanyaki to shareable thali and interactive Korean BBQ. These are the kind of meals you look forward to, plan with friends and talk about long after the plates are cleared.
Whether you are a Bite Club member chasing your next favourite night out, a local ready for something different, or a visitor exploring the Cayman Islands who wants more than just another dinner, Bite Club has you covered with some of the most memorable themed experiences on island.
Teppanyaki Night at Mizu: dinner with a show
Teppanyaki at Mizu Asian Bistro & Bar is a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Set right on the water’s edge, the night combines a multi-course Japanese meal with live cooking at the hotplate by chefs who know how to bring both precision and personality to the table.
The menu moves from light starters like miso soup into premium meats, fresh seafood and fried rice, all grilled to perfection right in front of you. Expect plenty of flair: quick-fire chopping, flames leaping , and plates artfully assembled before they’re presented to you.
Mizu’s Asian menu also includes favourites like ramen, dumplings, calamari and incredibly fresh sushi, so you can mix the theatre of teppanyaki with tried-and-true classics. Pair your meal with one of Mizu’s curated sake cocktails for the full experience. It is a unique dining experience in Grand Cayman that is as entertaining as it is delicious, and it works just as well for date night as it does for a group celebration.
Thali Night at Pani: a feast worth sharing
Every Tuesday and Thursday evening, Pani Indian Kitchen hosts Thali Night, turning the restaurant into a hub for warm, communal dining. The thali format is perfect for those who want variety in every bite. One large platter arrives holding smaller bowls of rich curries, fluffy biryani, fresh roti, tangy pickles and a sweet treat to finish.
Everything is cooked with a focus on authentic flavour, from slow-cooked meats to fragrant vegetarian options. It is a great choice if you are dining with friends or family, because you can share the culinary experience together.
Thali Night is one of those repeatable pleasures. The menu changes just enough to keep things interesting, and the generous portions mean you leave feeling fully satisfied.
Korean BBQ at Mizu: grill it your way
If you like your meals interactive, Korean BBQ at Mizu is hard to beat, particularly with its beautiful waterfront views. This is dining as a social event, with the grill set right on your table so you can cook your own meats, seafood or vegetables exactly the way you like them.
The set experience starts with traditional small dishes, followed by an array of sides for the table: steamed rice, crisp Boston lettuce, cucumber salad, kombu salad, bean sprout salad, pickled vegetables, kimchi and a punchy samjang dipping sauce. Each guest chooses one main from rib eye, shrimp, pork belly or shiitake mushrooms, with the option to add more.
It is relaxed, full of flavour and perfect for groups who like to try different combinations of food and sauces. Pair it with one of Mizu’s Korean-inspired cocktails, like strawberry, basil or ginger, and you have a night that is both fun and memorable.
Caribbean BBQ: relaxed, flavour-packed and perfect for groups
For something casual but just as flavourful, Caribbean BBQ nights at venues like Waterfront every Friday and Saturday night, bring together smoky grilled favourites, fresh salads and hearty sides in settings designed for groups. These events offer generous plates, cold drinks and an easy-going atmosphere.
You can expect a rotating line-up of grilled meats, fish and vegetables, with plenty of sides to share. Seafood lovers might even spot mahi or conch on the menu, depending on the night. Whether you go for an all-you-can-eat option or order from the set menu, it is a simple, satisfying way to spend an evening with friends or family.
Mediterranean Night: venture abroad through your meal
Mediterranean Night, every Wednesday from 5pm, at Saltwater Grill brings together the best flavours from Greece, Italy and neighbouring regions. Think mezze platters loaded with olives, hummus and grilled vegetables, seafood cooked with herbs and citrus, and risottos or pastas that lean into the region’s love of fresh, seasonal ingredients.
These nights are ideal for sharing. Order a mix of dishes, open a bottle of wine and let the conversation run as long as the plates keep coming. The menu typically changes with the season, so there is always a reason to come back. Feeling thirsty earlier? Stop by for Saltwater Grill’s popular happy hour and stay for dinner.
Brooklyn: house-made pasta and more
Brooklyn Pizza + Pasta in Camana Bay is a reliable pick for nights when you want great food with zero fuss. Known for its fresh, house-made pasta and wood-fired pizzas, Brooklyn keeps things interesting with weekly pasta specials and a menu that balances New York comfort with Italian tradition.
The menu ranges from hearty Italian noodle-based dishes to seafood pastas and truffle-infused plates. Starters include crowd-pleasers like calamari, warm goat cheese salad and jerk chicken wings. With its location at the heart of Camana Bay, Brooklyn is also the go-to for pairing dinner with a movie at the cinema. Whether you are after a quick bite before the film or a long dinner with friends, Brooklyn delivers consistency, friendly service and plenty of choice.
How to make the most of themed dining nights
These nights are popular, so it is worth planning ahead:
- Book early, especially for teppanyaki, Korean BBQ and thali nights, which have limited seating.
- Mention any dietary preferences when booking. Most venues can adapt dishes for vegetarian, gluten free or allergy-friendly dining with notice.
- Check the event details for pricing, set menus and whether gratuity is added automatically.
- Bite Club members should always use their account when paying to collect points.
Why booking with Bite Club makes sense

Whether you want the spectacle of teppanyaki, the warmth of a thali, the fun of Korean BBQ, the laid-back flavours of Caribbean cooking or the sharing spirit of Mediterranean dining, the calendar is full of reasons to gather your friends, book a table and make a night of it. From George Town to Camana Bay, waterfront dining is never far away, and the island’s restaurants continue to prove why Cayman is the culinary capital of the Caribbean.
