    Always a great experience at highbourne my guest and I surely enjoyed, just one down fall the conch fritters aren’t conch fritters it’s more of a conch croquette so we were expecting authentic Bahamian conch fritters and not a conch croquettes.

    As stated in a previous review, the staff at Xuma never fail provide a level of service of that sets them apart from almost any other restaurant in the Exumas. Add to that the welcoming smiles that greet us upon every return, and you have that special thing that thing is usually only found with family.

    Jamal was by far my most favorite waiter. He was kind, knowledgeable, expeditious and polite. The food was exquisite. The cauliflower was increidble and so was the Ahi Tuna. Hubby had the Lamb which was wonderful. Thanks Jamal, we'll be back . .and enjoy that book.
