Cons:

  • "The food wasn’t impressive (also not real Jamaican dishes)."

  • "The food was terrible and there was a parade of small ants that started crawling out of the woodwork of our booth."
  • "The jerk chicken was ok. I have had better in Brooklyn. Steak was too chewy."
  • "The food was only subpar compared to other times."
  • "Except one dish the food was mostly unimpressive, lacking the spices and flavor you would expect from good Caribbean cuisine."

Cons:

  • "Also, although it was Christmas Eve you'd never be able to tell because there were absolutely no decorations up for Christmas."
  • "They could put a little more decoration in the outside seating area."
  • "Very poor experience extremely bad service."
  • "For a name like Bahama Breeze, you would expect the atmosphere to feel more tropical. It’s pretty dark, with a lot of dark wood."
