The food is exceptional. We had an array of appetizers, sashimi and noodles. Of the 12 things ordered over 2 visits, I'd literally order everything again. That said, make a reservation 30 minutes or more before you want to eat. Both times, we waited over 45 minutes. Servers and assistant servers were great but the kitchen is SLOW. While I still enjoyed, WAY too much waiting

Walked up to Katsu-Ya last minute and were discouraged by the crowd, but we were seated within 15 minutes. We were taken to a back outdoor room and didn't realize how huge the place is. We were worried we'd be forgotten, but the service was impeccable. Our waiter Kamal was amazing; attentive, fast, and exactly what we needed since we were starving. The food was excellent: miso cod, spicy tuna on rice, egg fried rice, yellowtail jalapeño sashimi, chicken gyoza, chicken teriyaki with fried rice, and cake.

A Beautiful restaurant! This was quite the grand experience with delicious food. The service was impeccable. Warm and friendly feeling here with sophisticated vibes as well. It was easy to make reservations on the app and this is recommended because Katsuya attracts a lot of customers. This is one of the best places here at Baha Mar. The chef really provides excellent flavors with very pretty presentations.

Mid way point

Of the other 2 restaurants we ate at Baha Mar, this one was our least favorite. We showed up 5 minutes early for our reservation to a long line and twenty minute wait. Then were dropped at a table for 4 when we were a party of 5 without a chair or place setting. The waiters seemed agitated. We were agitated. The humidity of the outdoor tarp enclosed dinning area most certainly did not help. Oh, and the tables upon tables of overtired children. Helpful hint to moms traveling on a girls only trip: you don't have to eat dinner at 5pm anymore! The kids (your kids) are home and dinner can be *anytime*. The things I wish I knew before. There's also a kitchen for everything so everything comes out at random. The sushi is tiny with a big price (of course) and nothing particular stood out. The melting chocolate ball dessert was also a bit disappointing in its just melted chocolate but at prices like we were eating melted gold.

Coconut Parfait

Pretty good for a Japanese restaurant. Visited on a Saturday night and it wasnt as packed when we made our reservation for 6 pm. Ended up getting packed at 7 pm. If you dont have a reservation, I did notice a couple of people end up waiting a bit for a seat. For food, we ordered the sashimi lion fish (first time trying it and absolutely loved the mixed firm and chewy texture) and the chicken teriyaki (dry, a bit rubbery. Sauce was ok). For appetizers, we ordered miso soup: tasted like miso, not watery. Generous with the amount of tofu and seaweed. Tofu was soft/melted right in your mouth and seafood was light and salty. For dessert, we ordered the coconut parfait: loved the presentation, looked like a realistic coconut with mango in between. The added brown sugar at the bottom made it feel like we were enjoying a coconut on a sandy beach. So sweet in mango and rich in chocolate and vanilla. Overall, we will come back here again. Staff was great, gave enough time to order, answered our questions, and served food at a reasonable time.

Food

The food was amazing. I recommend the Chicken Udon Noodles, all the sushi, and the coconut parfait. The only reason this was not 5 starts was the service. While the food came out quickly, our server clearly was fed up with us quickly after starting to order. The design was nice, but it was a bit dark inside. Overall, great restaurant but needed a bit better service.

Chic restaurant decor. Nigiri was really delicious and fresh! Pretty pricey but that comes with it being on a resort. Service was great.

Our dinner at Fish by José Andrés was nothing short of exceptional. This was our fourth visit, and…read moresomehow it just keeps getting better every time. We started the evening with the Martini of the Night, which was absolutely superb and the perfect way to kick off the meal. The conch appetizer was outstanding and featured the best chimichurri sauce we've ever had--fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor. The crab cake was simply perfection. For our entrées, we enjoyed the red snapper and the grouper, and the sweet passionfruit sauce paired with the grouper was an unexpected delight that elevated the entire dish. We finished by sharing the peanut dessert, which was the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. The service was just as memorable as the food. From the gentleman who welcomed us at the bar to our outstanding waiter, every interaction was warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable. Chantell and her entire team made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. We enjoyed a delicious rosé, had the pleasure of meeting Luigi, the sommelier, whose recommendations were outstanding, and were also honored to meet the Chef de Cuisine, whose passion and talent were evident in every bite. Fish continues to set the standard for fine dining in the Bahamas. The combination of extraordinary cuisine, impeccable service, and genuine hospitality is what keeps bringing us back. We already can't wait for our fifth visit!

Outstanding food and service! The atmosphere was relaxing. Some of the best shrimp and grits I've…read moreever had. The cheddar biscuits and honey butter melt in your mouth.

We ordered filets, and a ribeye, the purred potatoes, baked potatoes, and glass of prosecco. Everything was cooked quite well and tasted delicious. Overall the vibe was low key fancy. They didn't enforce the dress code as far as I could tell (young girls wearing ripped Jean shorts, t-shirts, etc) but most people were dressed accordingly. The lighting was dark and moody, but overall the restaurant was quite loud. This will be one of the spender meals for a normal family.

Caesar salad was good, however crab cakes were underwhelming. For a place with such good seafood this was disappointing. The blackened grouper was more sore just seasoned and maybe pan seared. Baked potato came with an interesting cut similar to triangles with all toppings in the side so it was hard for the butter or cheese to melt. Our server was very nice but overworked having to buss tables on top of the many he had so we had to catch him when we could. I would skip if I revisit again.

Another great stay on Day 6 on Icon of the Seas. On this visit, went and stayed on chill island…read moreand ate at the buffet. The pier is able to handle 2 mega boats (the other was Harmony of the Seas this day), and no need for tenders. The number #1 thing about Perfect Day is that even though 2 mega-ships with many guests might come to the island in one day, there will be free SHADED loungers close to the ocean available, even if you come later in the day. That was the case for our party of four, who left the ship around 10 am since we knew food wouldn't be available until at the earliest 10:30. We actively searched for the shuttle that would transport you from the exit bridge of the ship, over the long pier (deep since it needs to stick out far enough into the deep ocean for the mega ships to be able to dock), to the entrance of the park. From there, one can take one of either two shuttles. The less busier one going to the pay-to-enter private beach. The other going to the other side of the island, where Chill Island and South Beach are. We found two sets of 2 together lounge chairs facing the ocean and got comfortable. Wi-Fi is supposed to work here, but we found it really didn't. And because there were so many people using cellular (the island is considered a part of the Bahamas), international plans didn't really work well either. The water is very calm so we were able to wade into the water and admire the small schools of fish. Others saw a manta ray, along with schools of jellyfish. The buffet opened early and I made myself a cheeseburger with all the toppings. It was delicious. There was beach beverage service so got two margaritas for my wife and me, and we sipped them while sitting down on the shallow sand in the water. We didn't stay very long, and left to get back on the boat. Even though we left early, it was still difficult to find empty seats on the next available shuttle. There was no employee maintaining queue/line control, so one had to be aggressive to get a spot. We were able to do so on our 2nd attempt. Once we got back to the pier, there was a well controlled line to take us back to the ship.

Take my review with a grain of salt... I'm a childless adult and I spent the day here by myself. I…read moream not the kind of traveler that likes to vegetate at beach resorts. I go on cruises for the destinations. This is a big resort that is an island unto itself, accessible only to passengers of Royal Caribbean cruise ships. (Sister cruise lines also port here as well, I believe.) You will only set foot here if you are on a cruise with this as a port of call on your itinerary. It is large enough that there are multiple beaches connected by ten-minute tram rides. There are many beaches and pools; many of the pools have swim-up bars. Those are neat, I think. I liked sitting at a stool, in the water, at a bar. The whole operation works just as if you were onboard the ship, so you will use your keycard to pay for things, and if you have a drink package as part of your cruise, it will work here. There are food stands, and a substantial buffet area, with free offerings that are comparable to what you get on a RCCL ship. There are two areas that require a paid day pass in order to access them. I decided to shell out for "Hideaway Beach", the adults-only part of the island. It was child-free as promised, and had a loud DJ-party atmosphere. Nothing too different otherwise. There is a more expensive area called "Coco Beach Club" where kids are allowed but it's expensive so I didn't go. Better food there, I guess. There is a big water park that I didn't try; you have to buy a day pass to experience any of it. I did do the zipline, though. That was pretty fun. Overpriced, maybe. There are many other activities available which you'll learn about by checking for shore excursions on your cruise. If you don't want to spend any money and your ship is here for the day, you can still enjoy a lot of the island. There are lots of deck chairs by pools and on beaches. I know a lot of people really like this thing; there are cruises where the only port of call is Perfect Day At Coco Cay. I'm glad I checked it out, at least.
