We made advance reservations, as we had heard this was the best seafood restaurant in all of Grand Bahama Island. Our attire: dressy casual Caribbean dresses.
We arrived via taxi and were seated immediately. This restaurant was very close to our hotel at the Ritz, but not within walking distance (we were wearing heels). It was a short 3-to 5-minute ride. Tunkie, our cab driver, only charged us $3 to $4 for the cab ride.
This restaurant is beachside, but we were seated near the bar and without an ocean view, which was somewhat disappointing. Mom and I made ourselves comfortable and examined the menu. We decided on stoned crabs as an appetizer and each ordered lobster tail for the main course. Meanwhile, I sipped a strawberry daiquiri, which was delightfully delicious. As we had our first bite of the stoned crab with a special Bahamian mustard sauce, Mom and I looked at each other incredulously because, while we expected it to be good, we never expected it to be THIS good! I've never had crab this good, and I grew up in a coastal area. It was obviously freshly caught; the mustard sauce made it magnificent! The sauce was so good in fact that we asked the waiter to bring us more to dip our lobster in! (I know… that was a Miss Manners faux pax). When the lobster came out, I nearly fainted because they gave us EACH TWO, large lobster tails. The waiter said we got an extra one because the catch was plentiful that day. Of course, we couldn’t eat it all, but we tried!!! All of it was melt in your mouth, succulent, and extraordinarily delicious; as close to seafood perfection as it gets. I only wish I could have their stoned crab without having to fly and stay there! The tab was a bit pricy, but we expected that. For two people, one alcoholic drink, one appetizer, and a main course for both of us, including tip, was about $160.
Note: This restaurant was not air conditioned.
