We've never been , but the our family who we are going with this time LOVE the place, in fact they're insisting we go at least once, so we're looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about

We went to the one near to Premium Outlets, it was the best meal of our holiday. Great service, great food and wonderful atmosphere. Will definately go back again.

Here are some pics of the food we had

Only been to the one at Lake Buena Vista but we love it. It was eldest DS's special request restaurant this year (youngest DS's was Olive Garden).

well here goes, we went and did not like it, no way no how. service poor, over 40 mins for main course NOT ACCEPTABLE. dh has his own restaurant and was not impressed with the food neither. so a nono for us, i went on the reviews of fellow dibbers, but must say it wasnt my cup of tea. shirley

I can honestly say that's the first bad review I've heard about the place

You gotta try the lemonade, the lemon breeze. It's wonderful, made with fresh sugar juice from crushed sugar cane.

It is certainly one of the best dining options particularly the one at LBV. Sitting out of the deck listening to the bahama music and the food mmmmmmm

We ate at the one on IDrive, and it was excellent , we ate in quite a lot of restaurants during our 3 week holiday, and BB was one of the best meals we had ,and probably one of the cheapest, which surprised me.
Will be eating there next year on a few occassions, as we really enjoyed it.
I had the Banana desert it was georgeous, not sure how i finished it, but i did.

Love Bahama Breeze we went to the Lake Buena Vista restaurant, thought it was lovely but preferred The Cheesecake Factory in the Mall of Millenia.
That restaurant was pure class.

Ate here back in Nov 2006 and was the best meal of the holiday. The service was great, the food as stated best meal of holiday and the setting very relaxing. Will most definately be on the list this time round!

Fantastic. Brilliant food, great atmosphere and amazing drinks. You have to try the almond crusted salmon if you like fish.

we ate at BB in LBV twice and loved it. It gets very busy on a Friday night (we waited 10 mins for a table), however on a Monday evening we walked in and got a table straight away. :grin:

We've eaten at the one on I Drive and don't have a bad word to say about it.
We went there for DH 40th last year and they accomodated 26 of us - couldn't seat us all together but got us pretty close!
No one went home unhappy the food was fab and the price excellent - about $150 for 6 of us this inc. starters, main & some desserts (for those who had room) and tip! A word of caution though if you are going to have starters make sure you share the portions are huge!

Is there a preference between the I-Drive restaurant and the LBV one? Does one have a nicer setting or are both the same?

We were there just under two weeks ago, we went at 6pm and it was quiet, the food on the whole was good but my salmon was a bit dry.

Bahama Breeze is just Yum. We were there a couple of weeks ago and again found it fantastic. One of our fav restaurants in Orlando.

mmmmm.....this has all made me very hungry. Will definately be going there when go in December - quick question - do you need to book or can you just walk in off the street?

I love Bahama Breeze but on our last trip Kathryn and I had the same dish. It just didnt hit the mark, BUT this is the first time we have ever been disappointed. We had prawns with island rice. I do not like the island rice so the next choice will exclude that. Our starter of Cuban bread was fantastic as always.
Michael had the pasta with lobster and shrimp and it was to die for - really yummy. It
I love the look of the banana dessert but the Key lime pie will ever touch my lips again. It was far too sweet.
Bahama Breeze is a must for us too.

You can just walk in, but you can`t book an actual reservation. However, you can telephone before you leave and do their "Call ahead seating." If there`s a wait they`ll add your name to the list just like if you were actually there. When you arrive, just give them your name and say you`ve done call ahead seating. :-)

I've just seem a picture of that dish on a trip report. Were abouts is it at LBV, if you don't mind. I've read near premium outlets.

It is right on the corner of the 535 and Vineland Avenue - you really can't miss it! Yes, it is near the premium outlets.

Bahama Breeze is a great restaurant. The only thing that tarnished it for us was the rude floor supervisor hoovering around our area and telling us we'd have to move outside even though were weren't finished. Our server looked mortified. She was basically moving us because a party of 8 had come in even though we weren't finished....cheeky so and so.

Apart from that the food, atmosphere even the stunning cocktails were amazing. I loved it and cannot wait to go back..hopefully that woman won't be there!

to be honest i'd never accept this or allow it to happen, there's one very simple way to avoid it from happening again

do NOT pay until you are ready to leave the restaurant ;)

if they are still pushy tell them very calmly and clearly that you are not finished and you will not be moved until you have finished your meal :angry:

This is going to be our first port of call when we get to the 'villa leg' of our trip - haven't been before but have heard so many good reviews.
Call ahead seating is a good tip - thanks for that!

Thank you, I'm going to mapquest it and then I can see, I have found the address.

Thanks again.

I did it, thank you, now I have a printed map and it's only 4 mins away from where were hoping to stay.
