I got a gift card from work, so I took advantage of dinner on a Sunday night. I didn't have much trouble finding a parking spot on Sunday 6:30pm. When I arrived, I was greeted immediately. I thought about seating in the bar, and it wasn't crowded at all. I told the bartender that I wanted the Cubano Mojito (11 dollars). It came with lime and sugarcane. It wasn't as strong as the mojitos that I had in other Bahama Breeze restaurants, but it was still good and had an ample buzz. For my entree, I wanted the paella (25 dollars). It was filling with plenty of pieces of fish, shrimp, mussels, scallops, chicken, and sausage. Unfortunately, the shrimp weren't deshelled, and one of the mussels was still shut. After mentioning that to my bartender, he immediately threw that mussel away and had the kitchen provide me a replacement. I ended up getting three more, which was a nice gesture. I was able to save half for lunch the next day. I had a coupon for free dessert, so I took advantage of the chocolate island, which had a nice chocolately mousse on a chocolate ganache. There was whipped cream on top with pecans. It did take a while to get it, but it was worth it. I was able to save some the next day as well. The service was friendly and very helpful. However, it was pretty casual and busy. It took a while to get the chocolate mousse that I thought they forgot it. I even paid my bill before it came. When mentioning to my bartender, he admitted that he forgot to check, and a couple minutes later, the brought it. The bartender was also very nice to make conversation, and pack up my food into the bag. The atmosphere is touristy casual, and I noticed that rap and r&b music were in the background. Unfortunately, there was no live music when I went, but that have live music other days. Outdoor seating was available as well. While this branch wasn't as good as the I drive or Kissimmee locals, it was still a nice place. The food and drink was still good, and the service was nice. I would have enjoyed live music on a Sunday, but I will try again on Saturday instead. I wish there was a waterfall at least for more ambiance. But this was the closest location near my parents house and still a nice choice.

Awesome service, and we didn't have to wait at all for a table. The atmosphere was nice and everything was clean. We all loved our food, I really liked my tuna salad. It was massive with a generous amount of tuna.

Bahama Breeze is a tried and true Caribbean food place. I love the ambiance both indoor and outdoor and they make, IMO, the best margarita flight. I happen to love their signature coconut shrimp which I order whenever I come. Service is always nice and quick. Definitely recommend

I am jealous of the other reviews here that received excellent service. Wish that was me and my family's experience. I called the day before to make a reservation for Tuesday 6/18 at 6pm for a party of 7 with a wheelchair. We arrived a little before 6 and had to wait almost 10mins before being seated. I believe our servers name was Sari. She was kind but extremely forgetful. I enjoy seafood so I was excited to dine here and experience the Caribbean vibe. I asked Sari if the fish was wild caught or farm raised. She responded with "it comes from the ocean". When she realized I was still waiting for an answer she said she would ask. Upon her return she said that they receive such a large amount of fish that it's no way to really know where it's from but it's fresh from the ocean... even my 7yr old nephew was baffled by her response! Please educate your staff lol She forgot my mom's drink and we think that she forgot to send our food order to the kitchen. We were watching other people that arrived later receive orders so I asked a different server about our order and my mom's drink. She brought her drink right over and apologized for our wait. She said a manager would be over to speak with us. When our food finally came everyone that ordered fries had cold fries. My nephews didn't care and just ate them but my sister asked our server if she could have some fresh fries. She was kind enough to bring a large order of hot fries to the table. A manager NEVER came to our table. Maybe they didn't get the memo. My stuffed plantain bowl was tasty I enjoyed the spice. When I'm back in FL I would return but I would sit at the bar.

3.5 but rounding up to 4 stars on Yelp. Service is excellent, however food was just ok. Ultimate pineapple margarita was really good! Highly recommend!Crispy conch fritters - not worth it unless you want to eat just breading. Very little conch and no flavor. The mustard aioli was weird and I didn't like it.Plantains appetizer was ok. Wasn't impressive or memorable. Crab and 3 cheese dip - must try! This was real good and I want the recipe to make it myself at home Coconut shrimp - it's ok. Very sweet and the mustard sauce didn't do it for me. Not sure if this is the only dip they have, but it was another mustard sauce.Seafood chowder cup - this was creamy and delicious. Highly recommendSeafood paella- I requested no mussels so they added extra chicken and "chorizo" however, all the proteins in the dish was overcooked. The scallops were also rubbery. The shrimp was cooked perfectly though.

This location is in a great location it wasn't busy either. Went for happy hour and was surprised how unpacked it was. The items we ordered were all on the happy hour menus so after four drinks four plates it came up to around 50 bucks for two people. That's a steal in my eyes.The drinks were good, so was the food. Our server Ralf was great and very tentative. I think this will be my go to Bahama breeze

Service was excellent but I was not impressed with this plate. The plantains tasted frozen some cold some warm. The chicken had good flavor but I ran into a few bones which I didn't expect. I then tried a side of rice and beans. A bit confused with the presentation which was in a crème bule cup with beans on the bottoms and the yellow rice on top Nevertheless I'll be back and will try something else to eat.

3.5 Not a fan of this location. Parking isn't the best & spaces are tight. Nice bar area, including tables. Outside area is spacious & covered. Went during happy hr & prices are very reasonable. Service was attentive once we waited a bit for a server. I got one of the servers' attention & asked if anyone had this section. Food came out pretty quickly. Everything was hot & fresh except the dip. The top layer (cheese) wasn't melted or stretchy. I prefer the international drive location.

Nice night out with the family. Fast service, food was good. The burger and steaks were cooked to our liking. And the drinks were nice and strongly made. Smiles all around.
