I am very disappointed by this restaurant Not only is it overpriced but the food is nothing to rave about. They pay the drivers to bring the tourist here which defeats the Bahamian experience. I recommend checking out the other spots for half the price and more tasty food . I paid $40 for the smallest snapper I ever had and $40 for a tasteless salmon. You’re better off going to NOBU for a better experience for the price My bill was $130 for what you see pictured .

Good food and a great vibe to enjoy. Came here near closing with a very large group and we were able to get our order in. The food is very simple but that’s the best part, there’s no frills. Some options are on the expensive side but as are most things in this area. Would definitely recommend!

Everything was good! Food was in line with island pricing and the serving sizes were massive. Conch fritters and fried plantains were blissful. Loved the passion fruit mojito too. Would recommend.

Where does one begin?! Believe every single positive review you read!!!! Twin Brothers is by far some of the best food on the island. I had a lobster and conch platter.... BEST LOBSTER I'VE EVER EATEN! I can't even fit the whole plate in one picture. Look closely, there's tons of stuff on the plate! My friend, who vacations in Nassau every year, suggested this restaurant and that I order the Miami Vice. ORDER THE MIAMI VICE!!!!!

This area is a great mix of locals and tourists, every time we visit this island we always stop to have great food with good service. The cracked lobster and the whole fried fish are always a must!

Everything here is amazing. The bread, the cocktails, the appetizers were all divine. The tenderloin entree was the best thing my wife and I had at Baha Mar, and the chocolate lava dessert was unreal. Our server, Anthony Bain, showed us the upmost hospitality and was phenomenal the entire night. Attentive, friendly and offered fantastic recommendations. Fluffy, the bartender, is also a gem. Overall, a 10/10 dining experience, you cannot go wrong with Cafe Boulud.

Cafe Boulud was gorgeous! We sat outside; there were lights hanging from a giant tree that hung over us. It was immersive; it felt woodland fairy tail like. Overall, Boulud has been my favorite dinner so far. I loved that they have mocktails here! There haven't been many mocktail options at Baha Mar. I got the grilled zucchini. It was a zucchini boat and it came with romesco sauce, chickpeas, and piquillo pepper. It was a well constructed and delicious vegan dish. At Baha Mar, there aren't many vegan options at all, and I highly recommend this one. However, I thought half a zucchini was not enough food for a meal. I was still hungry after. I definitely could've eaten a second one of these.

We are on our honeymoon, this is our first night and the Café Boulud was our first restaurant upon arrival. The restaurants vibe is intimate and seductive making it perfect for couples. We requested outdoor seating to see and hear the Bahamian nature and tonight it rained… the rain made it so intimate and completed the evening for us. For starters we had the tuna carpaccio and the spring salad which was so refreshing and the flavors were zesty and light. For main we had the Sea Bream which was done to perfection with the ginger broth, local vegetables and the perfect crisp on the Sea Bream. Our dessert was the chocolate Coulant which complimented the entire meal and perfected it with its rich chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream… the service and staff are professional and talented to say the least… 5 starts do not do this place justice… highly recommend when you come and visit the Bahamas… thank you to our waiter Glen Roy for making our night…

Top notch espresso martini and tenderloin was the best meal we had at Bahamar! Tuna carpaccio was good but not memorable and pork chop was great! Can't miss their chocolate cake dessert! Glenroy was the best server we had throughout our stay as well! Overall highly recommend!

Our family dinner at Cafe Boulud was the highlight of our Bahamas trip. The managers and our waiter delivered top notch service which made a wonderful dining experience. Food was one of the best we’ve had in Nassau, and we are certainly looking forward to dining here again on our next trip!

Yea. Was looking for authentic Bahamian food, this joint is not it. The rice for the rice and Peas was old, not fresh rice. The BBQ chicken was bland, potatoe salad and Mac n cheese, blah. Conch fritters has little to no conch. Overall horrible.

I ate in the restaurant for dinner, I have had lunch to go. Flavours are good, portions are good, value for money is good. People are very friendly. The interior is clean, bright and air-conditioned. They have the best value in the country, it's breakfast. Takeaway only for breakfast. Grits and eggs with choice of meat sausages, fish, souse. The big one cost $7 and the weight is like 4 lbs. Bring your appetite or a friend! The regular price is $4 and enough to curb your appetite at dinner.

Terrible meal. Fish old and stinky borderline inedible. Service passable, but I asked several times if the fish was fresh a repeatedly reassured that it was. Fat lie. When pointed out to the server the problem she shrugged and said they get fish every day. Total disaster. Never again.

We had already spent 3hrs bobbing up and down in the water and wanted LOCAL food. This place is good, conch any way you want it, strong drinks, a nice decore. The only problem was the wonderful service was slow. There was a 10 top that came, ate and left while we were seated. It seems to be a 4 person operation. I would go back,but don't be in a hurry

The ladies were awesome, cheerful and so so kind. The food was so good. I had the ribs Mac and cheese and fries. Husband had the seafood platter, it had fried conch, fried gouper and fried shrimp. He said it was the best seafood he ever ate. I don't eat seafood but I tried his grouper and it was delicious. The ribs were tender and fell off the bone the bbq sauce was a little sweeter than I like but it was somehow perfect. The drinks were delicious. Goombay smash was my favorite my husband loved the Bahamian cooler. The coconut rum they used tasted like it was straight from a coconut minus the alcohol. Definitely recommend this place 10x over. Also the bathroom signs were awesome I had to take pics.

Popped into Oh Andros while in port for the day. Everything we ordered was delicious and seasoned perfectly. Even tried the Alfredo. Plenty of food--we could have easily shared half of what we ordered and been full. The only downside was the wait for the food, so plan accordingly. And bring cash. Would definitely come back if we ever pop into Nassau again!
Emily Hill
I love in here. Always have a good time my husband and I recently visited for our lunch date. The servings was more than enough we took home more than half our food for later. Just a bit noisy but overall experience was good.

This is by far the best food I had on my vacation! The service was amazing, we were going to sit inside the restaurant, but inside felt too humid. So we opt for outside, which was a nice weather feeling. We got served drinks first, food took a while , but we got the shareable plate , and we had to end up taking it back to our hotel. Overall the beer food I had during my stay , it is just expensive to get out there from our hotel. We had the seafood platter fried. Comes with about 4 fish , one lobster , 6 shrimps, coleslaw & rice and peas. 4 stars because the lobster taste was wired.

We came after locals recommended this place as the best Bahamian fish fry to try. They hyped the cracked conch (fried) and conch salad, that’s what we ordered. The conch salad (appetizer) was delish! We added mangoes and pineapple. The cracked conch was just okay. Not much conch. Not crispy at all even though it’s supposed to be fried. Would not recommend. It came with two sides - we chose fries and macncheese. They were okay. The mac was hard. Others near us ordered potato salad and fried fish which looked better and prob tasted better. Cash only. Better pricing than resorts! Took about 30 min to get food for lunch time.

The service from the waitress was extremely poor. The food is transported from the kitchen to the tables uncovered, the waitress did not have on any hair nets, so their hair is likely to fall in the food. The plate is too crowded, and the presentation is horrible. The conch fritters did not have much conch.. I had the fish finger and conch. I would give this meal a 2 out of 5. Other persons in my party had the fish dinner 1 out of 5, shrimp and fries 2 out of 5, pork chops 3 out of 5.

We had a wonderful meal. The owners are very generous and gracious and allowed us to customize our meal The way you wanted to. Very good service and high-quality ingredients for Italy. A must visit!
Iqbal Akhtar
This was our first time at the restaurant. Unlike other Italian restaurants that are cramped up and noisy,here we could carry out conversation. The servers were attentive and friendly. The portions were adequate and the drinks were generous!! The price was reasonable as well. This will be our go to place.
Shashi Patel
Best Italian food that I ever had. Serving great, and authentic and italian foods, from handmade pasta to handmade pizza. Italian waiter is attentive to details, and friendly. Always warm welcome and check if things all good. Will come back again when I back to Bahamas.
Anna Lee
Amazing food. The pizza napolitaine was excellent one of the best i’ve had. Server was very nice too. Would totally recommend the restaurant and the prices aren’t outrageous like some others restaurants in Nassau
Lyna Benmesbah
A very authentic Italian experience. Great atmosphere! The food was good as was the service. Went there in the middle of the day, on a week day and basically had the place to ourselves. Strongly recommend you trying it out.

Hot, fresh served in a timely fashion. Shout out to the staff Keno and Q and the bartenders amazing personalities. The biggest con is the DJ playing his favorite YouTube videos, old funeral depressing music, instead of playing hip current music which suit the demographics of the patrons 👎👎👎. Otherwise the staff and food is Fantastic.
August Moon
It was our first visit and its worth it...its raining and yet we enjoyed our dinner. The staff were very accomodating,service was good..rhe food was great! There's a variety of selection from appetizer/salad,soup,entree and drinks.Weve missed the Saturday Karaoke night due to a bad weather but still enjoyed the music played.We will surely comeback. Thank u guyz!🤩

Friendly service, good food at a good price. All seating is outside. There was really loud YouTube music videos playing, so be aware that you will have to shout to talk during dinner. You definitely need reservations, as it is relatively small and fills up quickly. They have karaoke nights and there is a $10 refundable charge for making a reservation. It’s been 24 hours and it still hasn’t come back to my card. I wish they would have just taken it off the bill, as now I have to keep track of the refund.

If you’re staying at Atlantis and like to walk, take the shuttle to the Coral and walk the rest to Viola’s. My husband and I ordered the same meal - Breakfast in Bed. The difference was he did sausages. I did bacon. The prices are excellent. The pancakes and eggs were a 3/5; bacon was very thin sliced so 4/5, coffee and oj 5/5.
Marcia Cephus
Our server did an excellent job making us feel welcomed, hats off! The calamari and drinks were on point!

You already know what I’m here to do! Let’s begin the Gone Fish’n Beach Bar & Grill bullet point review: *I didn’t get to capture the view there but I must say it’s very beautiful!! You’d get to experience the beach breeze that we all love to smell and feel as you dine in. *It’s always a fresh atmosphere when I go there and so is the seafood!!! I could live for conch fritters the way I love them! However, not everyone’s conch fritters I like. These ones here though😫 I could eat over and over again. It was mouth watering the way every thing aligned. The sauce was lickinnnnn and the conch fritters was nice and hot!! *It wasn’t a long wait and I surely enjoyed the conversations in there. I didn’t know what I wanted to drink so I requested something that the bartender recommended. It was soo good!! I wish I could tell y’all what it was exactly, but I didn’t get the name for it. *The customer service was amazing too! Everyone was welcoming and there was good vibes being shared. Gone Fish’n Beach Bar & Grill rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Eh, just ok..I got an alcoholic beverage and it was not good at all. Also had to either pay cash or minimum of $20 charge if using a debit / credit card

Gone fish’n has made our trip! We have come back everyday of our trip and the owner has made us feel like family… one of THE best meals I have had! Not as busy as Junkanoo beach and amazing water views. Good prices compared to the resorts and will be back everytime! Highly recommend!
