Graycliff

Built in the 1700s, the building where the Graycliff is located is one of the oldest in Nassau. It was originally a pirate’s mansion (yes, Nassau was ruled by informal pirate code for a bit), but nowadays, it’s all lobster bisque and bread pudding here. This fine dining spot has some of the freshest ingredients on the island, and old-world colonial decor to match. What makes this place so special, though, is the excellent service, how perfectly the rooms have been preserved, and the fact that you’ll probably eat tuna tartare and center-cut beef tenderloin next to the who’s who of Nassau. After your meal, you’ll get the option to enjoy a cigar that’s hand-rolled on the property and some chocolate from the on-site factory you definitely won’t want to share.
