Located on the waterfront in bustling Camana Bay, Union offers Cayman's finest selection of fresh fish and seafood, Angus steaks, grill classics, as well as a dedicated vegan menu. Union is a classic, lively bistro with a sophisticated flair. We source the finest quality Angus from the USA and grass-fed Angus cuts from New Zealand, as well as local line-caught snapper, tuna, wahoo and lobster.

I enjoyed two lovely evenings at Union grill and bar during my trip to Grand Cayman. First evening was live soul music with Daisy Lee and the second was jazz with Devon Edie. Both were awesome!! The salmon, lobster tails, and red snapper were all delicious!!

We went to Union Grill and Bar on November 16th and had a great meal and wonderful time. It was our second time there and our waiter, Chaz, was knowledgeable and attentive. We tried the recommended mushroom pate and thought it lived up to the hype of being the #1 appetizer on the menu. The wagu steak was cooked to perfection and was very flavorful. I split the entire with salads, another appetizer and accompaniments . We have added Union Grill to our list of must dine locations for our annual trip to Grand Cayman.

We had a great waiter - Chaz - he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu! Helped us choose some of our food items by giving his recommendations. We went for our anniversary, and they surprised us with a dessert to celebrate! We had a lovely evening; I would highly recommend.

Have come here more than a handful of times, and each time the overall experience was excellent. The cocktails, the appetizers, and entrees all hit the spot. Excited to try more of their dishes next time.

We can’t say enough positive things about Union Grill. One of our favorite restaurants in Cayman. The food, wine, ambience and especially the wait staff are beyond excellent. Jamie was our server, so professional and attentive. Thank you for yet another wonderful evening.

Good morning Cori Thank you for your review and we are always grateful for constructive reviews to improve our offering. However, on this occassion, we wanted to point out factual errors contained in your review so as not to mislead other diners. We have on our Dinner Menu 12 different Appetizers and 19 Entrees (with 7 different steaks to choose from), as well as six desserts. We are happy that you enjoyed the food but wanted to point out that your total bill including 3 glasses of wine was actually 152USD plus 24.32 gratuities, plus a very generous tip from yourselves of 35.20 for, we assume, receiving exceptional service. Making your total bill 176.32USD.
