“ I attended a surprise party for my two sons over the weekend. Kudos to the entire staff on Saturday. They did a fantastic job and were very attentive. I want to give a big shout out to Steven. I was the first guest to arrive at the party and he made me feel welcomed. Steven took pride in his work, was efficient and personable. The food was delicious, well prepared and plentiful. Thanks again to the staff who worked in the event space on 4-19-25. A great time was had by all. ”
“ We decided to kick off Mother’s Day weekend with a pre-celebration lunch at Bahama Breeze, and it did not disappoint! We came as a party of 7 and were too busy laughing, talking, and enjoying amazing food to take many pics—oops! You really can’t go wrong here. Whatever you’re craving, if it’s on the menu, it’s going to be delicious. From appetizers to entrees to drinks, everything hit the spot. Our waitress was fabulous—friendly, attentive, and full of good energy. Loved that management made the rounds to check on tables too. That personal touch goes a long way! Shoutout to the bartender as well—the drinks were spot on . And thank goodness we had a reservation because the crowd was rolling in heavy! Clearly a local favorite, and now we know why. The location is another plus—right by the water. After our meal, we took a little stroll and hung out by the water to soak in the view and good vibes. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for great food, fun atmosphere, and top-notch service. We’ll definitely be back! ”
“ I actually dined here twice on a recent business trip mostly initially because I could walk from the hotel to the restaurant. I would say both the the food and the service have been excellent. I enjoyed both the jerk chicken pineapple bowl and the stuffed plantain. The view is lovely even if you aren’t directly adjacent to the water. The waitress/waiter had excellent knowledge of the menu. The first waitress gave me a great recommendation on the coconut Mojito. Ernesto, the second visit, was able to help me choose between a pasta dish and the stuff plantains. Both were quick to refill glasses and food arrived quickly. Lots of fun music, but not a place for a quiet dinner. ”
“ Great food, although quite a bit pricey compared to the Bahama Breeze locations near Atlanta. Great service! The view here .... FANTASTIC! We were lucky enough to be right along the water, outside. We were able to watch boats, cars, and even jets. Great experience! ”
“ My mom took me and my 20 girlfriends out for my birthday at Bahama Breeze during Memorial Weekend. Our section server, Ashley, was THE BEST. She was quick, had a great vibe, and made sure our guests were treated with class and care. Everyone commented that she was the best. I have been to Bahama Breeze many times in the past, but I will now make sure to always ask for Ashley. I had my elderly aunts, international out-of-town friends, and we even had some youth -- an eclectic group all treated with respect and keeping the beats positive and tables clean, always ready with water, extra lemons, and drinks flowing. She was awesome and helped make my birthday a blast!! From me and my crew, Thanks Ashley!! PS: we did set aside an RSVP in advance, and the restaurant did work with us to have that space for our guests. ”
“ I went on a Friday evening. It was super busy so there was a 20 minute wait but it was worth it. There was a live band performing outside by the water. The food was great! The crab dip had lots of lump blue crab meat and the conch fritters were packed with lots of Bahamian flavor. The menu has been updated with some new drinks, my girlfriend and I each ordered a flight and shared the drinks. Our server was Sandra, she made great recommendations for food and drinks and made sure my water cup was full at all times. I will definitely be returning. ”
“ Awesome atmosphere. Very roomy. Indoors or outdoors. Live music. Chase provided us with attentive, friendly service. Food was good. Wife had the coconut shrimp, while I enjoyed the Mahi tacos with maduros. Shrimps tasted a bit overcooked. ”
“ Loved the island atmosphere and entertainment at dinner and lunchtime. Visited 3 times for lunch, dinner, and dessert during our last trip to Tampa. Generous portion sizes, beautiful presentation, and tasty dishes. It's a very busy place so some waiting to get your table is expected. Pasta dishes and seafood paella are excellent. We also tried all 3 desserts and loved the keylime pie and the chocolate island mouse cake. The flaming pineapple rum cake was much better without the caramel topping - definitely not needed as it's a very fresh and sweet dessert as is. The service was always very friendly and courteous. Dylan was amazing! Will definitely visit on our next trip! ”
