The VIP treatment starts on your arrival when you can enjoy complimentary valet parking. Much nicer than hunting for a parking space, as this place does get busy and so does the car park. You may have to wait for a table at peak times, but it’s worth the wait! It also gives you a chance to enjoy their huge outside terrace which has two bars, lots of seating and a stage where steel drums play reggae music all night long.

What’s better than a little island music while you sip one of their fabulous speciality cocktails? My favourite is their Bahamarita, which consists of colourful layers of assorted fruit Margaritas. Others worth trying are their Ultimate Pina Colada or their Mojito Cubano which has a perfect blend of white rum, lime, mint and sugar cane. They even have their own house beer called Aruba Red which is brewed by Anheuser Busch and produced only for Bahama Breeze.

Inside the restaurant the lush tropical plants and decor, thatched roofs and colourful wicker style furnishings all add to the feeling that you’re actually dining in the Bahamas. The service is always friendly, and the staff are happy to help you with food and drink choices.

As for their delicious food, we normally start off by sharing some fresh coconut shrimp and a giant stack of their island onion rings and dips. They do some great seafood and steaks for entrees, but I’m a sucker for their West Indies Ribs or their Jamaican Grilled Chicken Breast which comes with cinnamon sweet mashed potatoes.

A dessert is often out of the question by this time, but if you can manage one you won’t be disappointed. I can’t resist their traditional Key Lime Pie, or their Bananas Supreme which has fresh banana served over warm banana nut bread with vanilla ice cream and brandy butterscotch sauce.

If you’re drooling at the mouth by now, why not treat yourself to dinner and cocktails at Bahama Breeze on your next visit to the Orlando area.

Have Fun!
