Bahama Breeze

Located along Federal Highway, Bahama Breeze is an appealing restaurant that caters, has happy hour, indoor/outdoor seating, live music, and offers a variety of island-infused dishes such as:

• Steak/pork/chicken/seafood dishes
• Appetizers/soups/salads/tacos
• Kids menu/desserts
• Full stock bar/cold & hot beverages

I decided to come here for lunch. I already knew what I wanted so after being seated, I gave the pleasant female server my drink and food order. Within minutes, the server placed my order in front of me. After taking a few pics, I began to indulge...starting with the coconut shrimp, which was served with a bowl of Bahamian seafood chowder.

The shrimp was perfectly prepared with a crunchy coconut coating. The citrus mustard sauce complemented the shrimp so well. Really wanted more of it. The chowder was delicious, creamy, and full of flavor with tender bits of potato and seafood pieces in every bite. The pineapple-coconut martini was lightly sweet with a touch of rum. Wasn't overpowering.

When the server came around to see if things were ok, I asked about the dessert menu since I had a bit of room in my tummy. As the server verbally recalled the dessert list, I knew I heard pineapple cheesecake in there. The server then explained it was pineapple cheesecake empanadas. I contemplated whether to try it...but I wouldn't be a foodie if I didn't...why not.

As the plate was placed in front of me, I stared at it in awe. Visually the empanadas was appetizing. Four freshly made empanadas filled with pineapple bits and cheesecake, fried to a golden brown with cinnamon sugar and chocolate/raspberry drizzle. I never tasted cheesecake hot before, but I have to admit the flavors of the filling together with the fried dough was amazing, and it wasn't too sweet.

I managed to eat two of the empanadas and take the remainder home as a snack. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Though it has been over two years since I dined at Bahama Breeze, I am glad that the chill vibes at the restaurant are still there, as well as the good customer service, refreshing drinks, and well prepared dishes.
