If you're searching for a casual restaurant with a great view, the perfect terrace to enjoy it from, and some tasty food, look no further – just head over to the Poop Deck. The menu is mostly pub grub and Bahamian standards – conch fritters, buffalo wings, burgers, grouper fingers, chicken tenders and the like. But at dinner there are some more upscale main courses such as steak, grilled lobster and shrimp, and a catch of the day prepared to your liking. This is an excellent place to nurse a beer or a cocktail while watching the sun set over the marina.

Regarded as the best restaurant on New Providence, if not in the Caribbean, Graycliff also happens to have one of the world's top wine cellars. Offering some 250,000 bottles – from an 1865 Chateau Lafitte Rothschild Premier Grand Cru Classe to a 2001 Niebaum-Coppola merlot – the cellar has it all, in every price range. Graycliff is also known for its 90-some varieties of cigars, many of which are hand-rolled on the premises by Cuban ex-pats. The food, expectedly, is crafted with the finest ingredients: beluga caviar, foie gras, truffles, lobster, Certified Angus beef, milk-fed veal, imported Parma ham, and fresh seafood. Reservations are essential.

Perhaps one of the best-known restaurants on the island, Johnny Canoe offers a fun-filled atmosphere with great food. Historical, yet modern, this café serves traditional Bahamian breakfasts of boiled or stewed fish, chicken souse, grits and johnnycakes.

This is Paradise Island's only waterside restaurant, so you know the setting alone will make a meal here special. Luckily, the food is just as awesome as the ocean view. Dishes tend to be Continental, but many have a Bahamian twist. Traditional main courses such as herb roasted Cornish hen, Veal Française and Steak Diane prepared tableside are joined on the menu by grouper stuffed with crab, Caribbean snapper, and blackened mahi mahi on spinach with guava salsa. Standout desserts include key lime pie, crème brûlée, and the local favorite, guava duff. The tavern's breakfast and lunch menus feature a good variety of local and international options – there truly is something for everyone.

DOWNTOWN. Set in a former residential mansion, Luciano's says elegance from the moment you enter the marble- and mahogany-clad foyer. Dining areas benefit from creative atmospheric lighting, which accents the warm colors and mesmerizing harbor views. Traditional Italian fare is the specialty, although there are a few excellent Bahamas-inspired options as well, such as the unique conch cakes with basil-red pepper aioli. Pastas are perfectly al dente and well-sauced, but perhaps the star dish is the juicy clay pot roasted chicken with lemon, garlic, potatoes and tomatoes. Enjoy a cocktail or a glass of wine in the bar before dinner – Nassau's 9 to 5'ers frequently gather here for after-work appetizers and socializing.

A small chain with locations in Mexico and the Caribbean, Senor Frog's caters mostly to tourists, functioning as a festive family friendly restaurant by day and a lively nightclub by night. The menu is big, with enough choice to please everyone, even kids. The unique Mexican Shrimp Cocktail is fabulous, and south of the border salads are hearty and satisfying. In addition to specialties like Winter Sabana (a thin beef filet covered with refried beans, salsa verde and Monterey Jack, served with a side of tortillas), there are a few American favorites as well, such as steaks, burgers and ribs. Tuesday, Friday and Saturday nights Senor Frog's welcomes live bands, and other nights there's karaoke or a DJ, but whatever the entertainment, you can be sure the crowd will be dancing and partying til the wee hours.

The elegant, fine French/Bahamian gourmet selections complement the romantic ambience of this restaurant. Fresh fish with Bahamian spices and side dishes as well as nightly specials are offered. The host/owner Mr. Willie Armstrong is charming and attentive. This is a great, romantic restaurant, and it's well worth making a reservation in advance for the experience. A local favorite! Jacket suggested, but not required.

Matisse the painter may have been thoroughly French, but Matisse the café is completely Italian. Set in an 1800s home, the restaurant has a charming courtyard and an abundance of colorful art prints on the walls. The menu changes every three months, taking advantage of the freshest available produce, but dishes are creative and wonderfully flavorful. You might enjoy an appetizer of thinly sliced veal with a tuna-caper sauce, or lobster salad with hearts of palm and orange-ginger vinaigrette. Pastas and gnocchi are homemade, and main dishes such as rack of lamb, baked snapper with braised fennel, and veal with prosciutto on a bed of spinach are all divine.
