Graycliff Restaurant
An iconic fine dining restaurant set in an 18th-century colonial mansion, famous for its wine cellar of over 250,000 bottles and its fusion of Bahamian and Continental flavors.
Located inside the Graycliff Hotel on West Hill Street in Old Town, this restaurant specializes in a fusion of Bahamian and Continental cuisine. Featured dishes in reviews include spiny lobster simmered with white wine and tomatoes, Bahamian-style bouillabaisse, and seasonal guava soufflé. The wine cellar houses over 250,000 bottles and has won the Wine Spectator Grand Award since 1988; guests can ask the sommelier for a tour. The dress code is elegant casual for lunch and elegant for dinner, where men are strictly required to wear long trousers. Many reviews suggest that the wine cellar offers better value than the food, and it is possible to visit just for drinks, light bites, and a tour. Reservations via OpenTable are recommended, with average spending often exceeding 100 USD per person.
