    Seafood pasta
    Ae S.

    Met at the door with smiles all around and since this was a surprise dinner gave the name and was escorted to the large table for celebration! The waitress was attentive at first, however when another large party came in and then two additional tables (my thought was she was slammed, however still friendly) We ordered a few appetizers, which gave most of us a variety of tastes. Beef Empanadas (good with dipping sauce), Crab & Three Cheese dip (a bit gritty, however good taste - especially with the chips) and Jamaican Jerk Wings (Loved them great spice and flavorful...if you can't take spicy be sure to have something close by to cool your mouth. This taster was pleased with the starters. The main dish of the reviewer Seafood Paella fell really flat. The seafood was slightly over cooked, the mussels were (a couple of them) gritty and the rice did not add anything to the dish. It was bland, yellow rice should show up to support the seafood. I will say in comparison to the Jerk wings which were aggressively seasoned to perfection, and then to get a bland Paella you would think you were at a different restaurant. The space in the restaurant with several large groups was still open and comfortable and every group still had their space to celebrate without over lapping each other. I will definitely come back and order a more flavorful dish.

    We really enjoyed this place! The ambiance and food is great for being a chain. Our waitress Pehyton was a delight and you can tell she's been a waitress for a while. Always there when we needed her and so friendly. The food was perfect for our group - enough veggie options for vegetarian and an abundance of seafood options for our fish eaters. We will definitely be back! The only negative is we downed our meals so fast that I didn't have enough time to take photos ‍

    As my husband said, it's maybe a once a 1-2 year place to visit. Don't get me wrong. The tropical vibes and spacious restaurant with vast seafood options are fun and upbeat, but the food is mediocre at best and quite salty if you ask me. I tried the jerk chicken pineapple bowl, literally served in half a pineapple. Instaworthy, sure, but the sauce was too overpowering, and I wished I had triple the amount of white rice to mellow it out. Yelp told me 3 minutes ago I'm a wine bar fan, and your wine bar fan girl here tried the pineapple coconut martini as well. It was well balanced, but small for $10. Husband had the jerk chicken platter, which came with rice, beans, and plantains. He prepped his stomach for this by indulging in the pina colada, which looked refreshing. The kids' meals were about $7 and plenty of food and came with fruit on the side, as well as an Honest juice box. Service was very friendly. Enjoyed the touristy, beachy getaway vibes here, but the quality of food left something to be desired.

    New drink items on the menu

    The covered outdoor patio is the best place to be seated! It does set the tone of being in the 'Bahamas.' Open windows, music playing, it's like your on vacation while enjoying fruity tropical drinks. Fiancé took me here for date night and we ordered 2 of their new drinks. I had the guava martini, it was okay. I would not order it again, too sweet for me but others might enjoy it. He ordered the Bruno's smash hit and that was very good. Strong, bold and sweet all at the same time. It was very well balanced. They also offer non alcoholic versions of their drinks so that's a plus if you prefer mocktails. The food was eh. I ordered the jerk chicken pasta, it was edible. Matt ordered the seafood paella and honestly it was probably one of the worsts we've had. We're both of Hispanic descent so this is a bias opinion. It was edible, but not good. Service was okay, pretty slow however it was busy and the staff was nice. The best part of Bahamas breeze was the atmosphere for sure. We'd come back to have more drinks and try the apps!

    Second Bahama breeze visited, the other in Florida. Food was good and service was really quick. It's a franchise. Daughter like the pineapple shrimp meal.

    The ambience is excellent, and the vibe is great. The servers are friendly and attentive. Drink (alcoholic) are varied and some unique options. I left the food for last because while the presentation is excellent, the taste is just lackluster for some items that we ordered- flank strak.and jerk.chicken, while good for others like the snapper. Overall would recommend trying it though.

    Coconut Shrimp Tacos

    Went here for a birthday and service was quick! Loved what I ordered but I wish they had a mango sorbet as an actual dessert option rather than a topping on a fruit cup.

    Sinks. Urinal area looking out

    Bahama Breeze is quite breezy, and they have plenty of bamboo leaf looking fans throughout the dining area. Going to Bahama Breeze is always a decent experience for me and I was left satisfied overall. I ordered the Jamaican Stuffed Plantain Bowl which had yellow rice, ground beef, black bean sauce, cheese, all in a whole caramelized sweet plantain. It was delicious. There's not a lot of cuisines that center on plantains, the little brother of bananas, so definitely check out this dish here. Service was good and the overall experience was good. BATHROOM REVIEW: Located past the kitchen, the mens bathroom is spacious. There are several stalls and a small designated area for the urinals. Sinks were plenty, and the overall urinating experience was good. Sit or squat? Sit!

    Went here for a friend's birthday dinner. The food was really good and our server was super friendly and made great recommendations. I had the coconut shrimp tacos which were delicious. I also had the margarita flight. The menu is a little pricey however the food is worth it. I would definitely come back here.

    Came here on a weekday probably around 2:30. Drinks were delicious, our food was perfect. Clean restaurant. The fish was delicious. Our server/bartender Bobby was very attentive and personable. We look forward to returning!

    Excellent food and drink to remind you of the island life. Seriously, I recommend the Conch Fritters, Blackened Mahi Tacos, Tequila glazed Salmon, Coconut Shrimp, Skillet simmered Jerk Shrimp, Cuban Black Bean Soup and there are many more great appetizers and Entrees. The service is quite good for a restaurant this size and you can always order from the table top Ziosk.

    A beautiful spring day, a fantastic open-air patio, 1/2 priced appetizers with a matching happy hour? Count us in! Me and hub-hub were looking for a great spot to enjoy a light dinner this past week, and as we'd passed by Bahama Breeze a few times, this time we caught wind of the opened patio windows and turned in- definitely glad we did. Service was instantaneous, and must admit our waiter on the patio was fast, pleasant, and - for the most part- really attentive- always a plus, which we know will please YOU too. Ok- as we weren't too hungry, we ordered a couple well drinks and a couple appetizers- we got the crab and 3 cheese dip (yummy) and the skillet simmered jerk shrimp - now to be fair, the shrimp tasted great - but the jerk flavoring was a little "flat" (not a bad thing, but not as strong as we'd have expected). For the main, we got two vegetarian black bean/guac handheld "tacos" - which (despite the blowback which would come shortly thereafter at home) was absolutely yummy - wow. This was the only "non-happy-hour" item we ordered. Needless to say - we were impressed! Loved the patio, loved the service, and the 1/2 priced happy hour drinks/apps were amazing- we'll be back - and you should go if you enjoy great service and an island-themed environment!

    I used to frequent Bahama Breeze a lot back in Florida when I was a student at UCF, and I can clearly tell that the quality isn't what it used to be. The second we walked in, there was a very foul smell on the inside. I'm not sure what happened, but we opted to sit outside to avoid it. The decor is still practically the same (tropical vibes, colors and what not). Service was great, no complaints. It was a bit busy but our waiter was on it! I wish I could remember his name, as he definitely deserves a raise. He was taking orders, giving recommendations, cleaning tables, all while handling a 10-15 person table right next to us. Hats off to this man! The menu has slightly changed since I last dined-in a few years ago. They've added a couple of new menu items and kept the few favorites. Prices have gone up drastically, but that's the new norm I guess. Here's what we had - Appetizer: Yuca Cheese Sticks - this is a new item. I had high expectations, and was hoping for a cheese pull, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. They tasted like normal mozzarella sticks, but the sauces that came with it (cilantro lime and sriracha aioli) were good. (3/5) Mains: Blackened Mahi Tacos and Coconut Shrimp Tacos. The tacos were alright. The plates were very messy, but satisfying. The meats could use a bit more seasoning as both tacos were rather bland. The fries were crispy and delicious. (3/5) Desserts: Pineapple Cheesecake Empanadas. The empanadas were crunchy and sweet. The filling was alright, but slightly thick. I expected the cheese to ooze out when I took a bite but that did not happen. Still good overall. (3.5/5) ~Till next time!

    Ask the Community - Bahama Breeze

    Is there any live entertainment going on here?

    No, at least not provided by the management of the restaurant.

    Is this place noisy, can you easily converse without yelling?

    Any gluten free options?

    I don't believe so...if you check out their website it states specifically they are not. https://m.bahamabreeze.com/menu-listing/gluten-sensitive

The fish was fresh and tender, the dressing was sweet and zesty and creamy. It was just perfect!!!! If I ever find myself on death row this would be my first pick for my last meal.

    Alrighty then! Hub-hub and I were looking for a place for our 7th anniversary (not of marriage, but…read moreof when we first met). We chose Bonefish Grill! So, on a warm and humid evening, off we went. We were greeted warmly and seated in a booth quickly. The ambience was similar to a steakhouse- but tastefully done and not over the top. Our waiter- who appeared and acted just as though he'd aced his final waiter-exam at Bonefish- brought over a specials menu, a happy hour menu for drinks, and a regular, one-page menu. All on paper; easy to handle and clean (always a plus). I quickly ordered 3-mini-tinis (presented very fashionably - see the pic), and he brought out a mini-bread loaf with olive oil and - what appeared to be basil- dip. The only demerit here: this loaf wasn't warm and had sat around a bit. Man. I loves me bread, but it's gotta be warm. No worries - when we finished he brought out a 2nd mini-loaf - which WAS warm. Oh yay. The mini-tinis were nice- though I think the one with the floating jalapeno was - while inventive- a bit too spicy. Still, it hit the spot. Hubby ordered the shrimp and scallop scampi, while I ordered Walleye (man, I love this midwestern fish - so nice and flaky!). It came with jasmine rice and broccoli- and frankly it was awesome. Hubby also liked the scampi as well- not bad indeed! A couple quick notes- not sure I liked the uniforms for the wait staff. Just seemed too much like a hospital with a look like white smocks. Hmm. But gosh, Bonefish- is it too much to ask that you use the portable terminals so I can pay at the table without letting my credit card out of my sight? Strange, isn't it? The US invents the tech, then we never deploy it until the rest of the world uses it first (which they do, btw). Will we come again? Yes! The prices are reasonable, the portions and ample, and the ambience is just fine. But gosh- let's get the bread right by bringing out soft, warm loaves, please. That's my first impression of the meal - and it was - sorry to say - lacking a bit.

    We were really disappointed with our entrées during my birthday dinner at Bonefish Grill in…read moreSchaumburg. I made a 5:30 p.m. Friday reservation, which was easy enough, and when we arrived the restaurant was about 75% full. The hostess greeted us but never asked for our reservation, though we were seated right away. John was our server, and he was great--attentive, friendly, and always on top of refills. Warm bread with olive oil and water arrived promptly, and he gave us time to look over the menu. We ordered a Fresh Margarita, a Dirty Martini, and the crispy cauliflower. The cauliflower was delicious, but the Margarita tasted pre‑made rather than freshly mixed. For dinner, we chose the Fish & Chips and the Scallops & Shrimp Scampi Pasta. Unfortunately, both dishes fell short. The most common causes they lose their crispiness falls into three categories: too much moisture, incorrect oil temperature, and overcrowding. The breading on the fish and the fries were not crispy at all--see photo below. I ate the first piece, but ended up removing the coating from the second and took the third home. The pasta needed much more of the white wine garlic lemon sauce; it just wasn't as flavorful as expected. We finished with the Bourbon Brownie--the only chocolate dessert on the menu--and that did deliver. Rich, warm, and satisfying. Despite the food misses, John truly elevated the experience. He checked in often, kept our water glasses full, and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant had great energy, and the décor was tastefully done. Servers were dressed in white button‑down jackets and black slacks, adding a nice touch of professionalism. By the time we got up to leave, the place was absolutely hopping. Great service, great appetizer and dessert--but the entrées didn't meet expectations.

She insisted that I upgrade to the plate instead which included cole slaw and potato salad for a small extra fee so I proceeded to lock it in. Shortly after, her husband Kenny greeted me and we had a friendly talk for a while. They hooked me up with an additional side and drink (they did not have to do that) which I thought was a very kind gesture. My food came out prompt, hot and fresh. I ate a few shrimp and fries while there before hitting the road. Everything was crispy, seasoned well and appetizing. I ate the cole slaw and potato salad later at work and enjoyed each.

This is not going to be cheap though. If you're gonna go to this place, expect not only excellent service but not your McDonald's prices. Saw a couple of the next table come in and order a hamburger and fries. Seriously? You come to this place for a burger and fries? (Lol). I'm sure the burger and fries was excellent, but this place is not known to be a burger joint, even though it's on the menu but again, to each his or her own. I wouldn't come here just to have a burger. There are many other places that do that. Step it up a little. Come here for a higher tier of food caliber. That being said: Our server was excellent. The manager along with the chef / the wine "professor"- (he was excellent as well- extremely knowledgeable, and paired our bottle of wine perfectly with all our meals) along with everyone else who came by to check on us. But our server was absolutely attentive and great. He wasn't pushy and he was very easy-going but very astute and had all the attention to detail. So hopefully we made his night when we came to the tip. (we weren't slouches, nope.). I wish I remembered his name, it wasn't a typical name, but he was outstanding. That being said, make sure that you pack away a couple "bones" when you see the check- also make sure that you tip your waiter for the outstanding job that they do. So don't skimp on that either. So again: It isn't cheap, but a place like this shouldn't be. We had a great experience overall- Also, this isn't your T-shirt and shorts type of place. You have to dress up. No schleps.. Capeesh?!!? leave your sandals at home. Which it should be. This is an experience, not your local In-N-Out Burger joint. Excellent and tasteful decor- excellent service highly highly highly recommend.

    Surf's Up -- are you in Mt Prospect, or your favorite seaside shack by the water? Santa Cruz, Cocoa…read moreBeach, Cabo, Surfer's Point? The restaurant is small, with limited seating, but brightly decorated and immersive on the surf decor. I ordered the fish n chips, and they let me know it would be about 12 minutes, because they make everything fresh. No problema, dude. Beach Boys, surf music and other mellow tunes play overhead while you wait. It wasn't long at all, and I was presented with three (3!!!) crisply battered fish filets on a mound of seasoned shoestring fries. It was hot (prepared to order, remember), and delicious. The fries were awesome as well. I thought it was a little pricey, but the portions were large and I had plenty to take away. My fish was delish -- and I'd be glad to come back and try some of the other combos. The people who worked here were chill and friendly. Good vibrations!

    This little, unassuming restaurant should not be missed! Surf's Up in Mt. Prospect is conveniently…read morelocated right next to the AMC Theater in Randhurst and this is the perfect place to grab a bite before the movies! This is a cute little restaurant with a few tables, window seats and seating along the wall. With the weather being nice there are tables outside too. Hubby and I wanted some seafood and we passed by Surf's Up a few times so it's long overdue for us to stop and try the food today. The owner, Lisa, was working behind the counter. She is so sweet and certainly very proud of her restaurant! We asked her for recommendations and she was happy to share some of the top preferred items of guests. She gave us time to look over the menu. I settled on the fried catfish dinner with a side of grits, greens & a roll. Hubby wanted fish and chips with a roll. Lisa told us that everything is made fresh to order so it would be about 15-20 mins. We weren't in any hurry, but we appreciated the heads up and the fact that it was all freshly made. The food arrived crispy and hot and oh so delicious! My catfish was so flakey. The grits and greens were the perfect sides to go with it. Hubs really enjoyed his fish and chips. The fries were so good, we couldn't stop eating them. Lisa also sold us on the fresh bread pudding, but we so full so we had to take it go. Just finished it tonight and it was even more delicious than she described! We will certainly be returning to try the shrimp po' boy and other items on her menu! Plus more bread pudding. Don't pass up this cute little place with delicious fresh seafood and desserts plus friendly service.
