Marcus at Baha Mar Fish+Chop House

Chef Marcus Samuelsson, who you probably know from TV or Red Rooster in NYC or Miami, has a spot right here in Nassau in the Baha Mar hotel. Chop House does upscale Bahamian dishes really well, like conch croquettes and island seafood rice, served to the background of a beachfront location that’s perfect for romantic dinners. It generally feels like a typical resort hotel—you know, lots of people wearing flowing kaftans and airy indoor spaces where the salty breeze somehow makes the food taste better. The best views are on the upper level, which is sometimes reserved for private events, but they host fun DJ sets on Fridays and Saturdays, watch parties, and other ticketed events you can check out even if you’re not staying at the hotel.
