When you're at Bahama Breeze Island Grille, life's one big party. It's an escape from the ordinary and a much-needed excuse for you to let loose. Famous since 1996 for tropical cocktails, live music, and more, the vibe here is always as amazing as that Caribbean-inspired food we're known for. Bahama Breeze offers your favorites: seafood, salads, chicken--all with island flair. From Jerk Chicken Pasta to Seafood Paella, you can enjoy the islands one taste at a time, discovering new flavors along the way. Naturally, we're the perfect spot for all the sunniest moments in life: happy hours with friends, anniversaries, birthdays, date nights and unique culinary experiences. So, when you're ready to raise your glass and move your feet, the party's in full swing and the islands are waiting for you or if you'd rather bring the Island party home, online ordering is a Breeze too!

We sat outside and we’re not stopped by any heaters so it was a little chilly

3 sets of dirty silverware, my fiancés plate was dirty, it had what looked like potatoes crusted on to it, and she didn’t order potatoes, I learned after 35 minutes of waiting that they were out of what I ordered, so I had to wait another 20 minutes before they brought our food out. In my opinion unacceptable.

I have dined at Bahama Breeze quite a number of times in the past seven years. The ambience is vibrant and fun. The service has always been very good. There however is a lack of attention to those vegan/vegetarian customers who eat only plant based items. Diners practicing these diets can only choose from a few standard options and nothing more. I encourage Bahama Breeze to embrace the growth and uptrend of vegan/vegetarianism and to add variety and enhanced selection to their menu. I will definitely be back when that happens.
