Not a customer friendly environment, you can’t choose to have a table at the areas that you like , even if no one is in the place , rude people with nasty attitude at the Kendall location, they are loosing clients continuously, not inviting ambiance like it used to be time ago , they used to have live music , awesome happy place , well, not any more we will never go back . Sad ghost ? ruin place with militar dictatorial rules .

Nice place for food and drinks in the heart of West Kendall, conveniently located just west of the Turnpike's SW 88 Street exit. They have live music Friday nights at the outdoor bar!

Dear Jessica and Manny and the rest of your poor managementI trust this correspondence finds you well. I am writing to address several pressing concerns regarding the management practices observed at Bahama Breeze on 88th, where I recently worked.1. Limitations of Internal Hiring: The internal hiring process within the establishment appears to impose restrictive barriers to employee mobility. This issue is particularly concerning due to its direct correlation with managerial decisions and the manner in which employee positions are delegated. Instances of inconsistency and favoritism in the internal hiring process have hindered the professional growth and advancement opportunities of deserving employees. Notably, managerial personnel, including Manuel (known as Manny) from kitchen and expo management, have been implicated in these practices, perpetuating a climate of professional stagnation and disillusionment among the staff.2. Ineffective Team Dynamics: A notable consequence of the aforementioned limitations is the observed ineffectiveness in team dynamics, primarily stemming from a lack of adequate supervision. This deficit in managerial oversight has contributed to a palpable sense of disorganization within various operational facets of the establishment. Whether in the bar, host, or kitchen areas, the absence of vigilant supervision has been keenly felt, resulting in suboptimal performance and diminished operational efficiency. Individuals occupying positions of authority, such as Jessica Espinoza, the General Manager, have been identified as pivotal figures in perpetuating this systemic issue through their failure to provide requisite guidance and support to frontline staff.3. Poor Management Culture: Perhaps most concerning is the pervasive presence of a poor management culture, wherein toxicity pervades the workplace environment, effectively overshadowing the purported benefits of weekly pay. This toxicity manifests in various forms, ranging from coercive scheduling practices to condescending communication tactics employed by managerial personnel. Individuals like Manny, who hold key managerial roles within the kitchen and expo departments, have been observed leveraging their positions to enforce arbitrary directives and instill a sense of powerlessness among their subordinates. Similarly, the conduct of General Manager Jessica has been called into question, as her leadership approach appears to prioritize authoritarianism over fostering a culture of mutual respect and collaboration.In light of these observations, I advocate for a thorough review of the existing management practices at Bahama Breeze on 88th. It is my sincere hope that through proactive intervention and the implementation of targeted reforms, the establishment can foster an environment conducive to professional growth, operational excellence, and employee well-being.Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Awesome food and drinks. Thalia and rest of the service crew always provide amazing service.
We got conch fritters, jerk chicken wings, and a jerk chicken pineapple bowl bowl. I've enjoyed the conch fritters a few times before, but it was my first time trying the bowl and I absolutely loved it.I gave the atmosphere 4 stars because I really dislike the table tablets that got pushed in front of our faces immediately. It's nice to use in a pinch, but I'd rather just have a server instead of look at the same cat trivia question over and over again.
The service was excellent. THANK YOU JAZMIN FOR YOUR PATIENCEThe entrees were also very nice. The drinks also. Bathrooms were clean. ??

Regular guy With honest opinion
First off this was the best steak under $30 I've ever had in my life. Also, those beef empanadas are a must have.The food was delicious. I thought they would have more options for meals and appetizers but what they do offer doesn't disappoint. We ordered a few appetizers and entrees and everything came out quick and hot. They have flashy meals and awesome drinks, alcoholic and non alcoholic.The staff was really nice. They had outside and inside tables for eating. We sat inside because we thought it would be loud outside with a main street right there. The set up is nice but it's dated and could use a nice cleaning.Overall I would def come back and suggest Bahama Breeze to anyone out in Miami. Although it's off the beaten path if you're looking to stay on the beach but the trip was worth it. Enjoy.
