We went to celebrate a birthday...Mariana was incredible!! She was so attentive and made it a great night out.

Everything was great except the dessert. We ordered the gooey butter cake and returned both. The inside tasted like gritty sand and the rum overpowered it. Nice presentation though. I think the inside wasn't warm enough to have melted it to make it gooey.
Julie
The server we had was overwhelmed. She forgot to check if our apps were delivered and then only brought one and not the other. We had to ask for everything a couple times.
Margaret
There was a huge line for those with reservations. It did move along but making reservation is usually done to avoid a line. Especially on a busy night.

The hostesses and waitress were wonderful! The musician was a wonderful addition to the experience. Daughter absolutely loved watching him, she danced to his songs, and didn't want to leave! I am always a fan of the tostones and my boyfriend loves the citrus mustard sauce on the wings. Those are our go-tos and we will keep coming back for them!
Alfred was absolutely amazing ! What great service we received. He was so attentive, personable and funny. He went above and beyond and went the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed and were satisfied. What an amazing addition to the team! Come see him he will take amazing care of you!

Totally recommend this place!
Walking into Bahama Breeze, I was immediately taken by the atmosphere. I felt like I was stepping into a perfect blend of tropical relaxation and understated elegance, something I don’t often find in chain restaurants. The service quickly matched that vibe, friendly and attentive without being overbearing.
As I settled in, I couldn’t help but think this was going to be a solid dining experience.
The first dish to hit my table was the chicken tostones, and let me tell you, they were a pleasant surprise. Crispy, flavorful, and innovative, it felt like the kitchen was really trying to push the boundaries in a good way.
For a moment, I thought, “This place is onto something.” Then came the pasta, and that’s where my enthusiasm wavered.
For me, pasta is a staple, a kind of litmus test for any restaurant. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the excitement of the tostones or even to any two-star restaurants. It was to the point where my partner asked me if we were eating what we ordered.
The flavors felt flat, almost like an afterthought, compared to the burst of creativity in the appetizer. However, all the other food and drinks were delicious. I was surprised by the lack of consistency. But what struck me most was how much potential this place has.
To me, everything else was clicking: the design of the restaurant, the layout, the thoughtfulness of the construction. It all made me want to stay a little longer, sip on another drink, and take in the surroundings. Even the parking was easy and well-organized, a small but meaningful detail.
In my opinion, Bahama Breeze feels like it’s on the verge of something great—maybe even the restaurant that truly represents Florida life and culture.
I believe the only reason why Bahama breeze has survived in Sanford is because the quality of employees that run the place all the way up to the top with the management had a great service today very pleased. The quality of food was absolutely perfect

Keep them in business. The food is good! The service is amazing!! Desserts are so good too. Drinks specials and happy hour is so bomb. Coconut shrimp and pineapple cake dessert is my fav things rn.
