About
Graycliff Restaurant's cuisine epitomizes elegance in the finest continental and Bahamian tradition with a menu that is both tasteful and distinctive.The secret recipes at Graycliff have set its reputation in the hallmark of the rich and famous. Creative culinary innovation has resulted in a variety of sumptuous dishes that is distinctly its own. Bahamian dishes have been creatively transformed into sophistication and refinement with the end result being an international reputation for Bahamian cuisine. Your evening at the restaurant begins as you sink into the depths of a sofa in the parlor with its sophisticated high ceilings and tranquil feeling. Within moments you will peruse the menu, while one of the bar waiters tends to your favorite cocktail. Having placed your dinner order, when your appetizers are ready, you are then escorted to your table to enjoy your meal. PLEASE NOTE WE HAVE A DRESS CODE: ELEGANT (GENTLEMEN MUST WEAR LONG PANTS). The restaurant has five air-conditioned dining rooms. Each room has a special allusion to the era when Graycliff was a private home from the Library to the Gallery, where the family would retire after dinner to play cards.Following dinner you are invited to once again relax and enjoy the rest of your evening with an after-dinner cognac or cigar and live grand piano music every night. Wines, Cognacs, Armagnacs and Ports Graycliff's Wine Cellar is world renowned and the wine list has won the prestigious Wine Spectator Grand Award since 1988. The wine cellar has an inventory of over 250,000 bottles from over 400 vintners in 15 countries. Ask the sommelier for a tour of the wine cellar. In addition to the considerable wine inventory, Graycliff also boasts one of the largest selections of Cognacs, Armagnac, Port and vintage malt whiskys. We have a cognateque with a great number of museum pieces bottles. The Graycliff main house was built in 1740 by a reformed pirate. The breathtaking hand painted pool is the first one in the Bahamas and the ruins of the oldest church can still be seen. Graycliff also has a cigar factory on property, a cigar roller at night shows his art in the parlor. During the day a visit to our Chocolatier is a must and you can also take a chocolate complete tour of the factory.

My wife and I hosted our family for our wedding anniversary at the Graycliff. If was wonderful. The setting is historical and romantic. The food is amazing and the service timely. Yes, it’s expensive, you should expect that from a five star restaurant, especially in the Bahamas where everything is more costly, but out experience was worth every dollar and the staff made us feel special and welcome. It’s also nice to go to a restaurant that has a dress code and enforces it. We look fwd to a return trip.

Historic hotel and restaurant that is worth the visit! Let me preface by seeing we are bougie foodies and seek out experiences and fine food: we travel for food and this is no exception. After a recommendation from a friend who goes the distance for GrayCliff we knew we had to come to the Bahamas. Upon reading the reviews we almost cancelled but wanted to get our own opinion and thank god we did. It’s lovely, the people are wonderful, the food is great as are the cocktails. If you are not used to spending $200 a person then I don’t recommend, come for the experience and try new things. Take a tour of the grounds and the expansive wine cellar. To early to enjoy a cocktail and hand rolled cigar everyone raves about. The only con the evening we went was they had two huge corporate parties they were accommodating , thankfully we went early and got our food order in. The timing was a little to be desired but we still loved sitting on beautiful patio and reading the history of the grounds. I highly recommend, and would bring friends back with us. Venture off the resorts and try out this beauty. If you like the Breakers or New Port you’d love this place.

We booked a table at Graycliff Restaurant in Nassau for my birthday, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was excellent, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had some vegan options, which made dining there much easier. The highlight of the evening was the live piano player, which created a lovely ambiance both before and after our meal. The restaurant has a sophisticated atmosphere, making it ideal for special occasions. However, it’s worth noting that it is a bit expensive, particularly when it comes to the wine selection, which was quite pricey compared to other dining spots. Overall, the combination of excellent food, vegan-friendly choices, and beautiful ambiance made it a memorable evening. I’d recommend it for a special celebration, as long as you’re prepared for the higher wine prices.

Bad experience from start to finish. When we arrived, the place looked in need of a major renovation/restoration. We have been here many times in the past but now it has lost its charm and just looks old and dirty. We checked in with the host, where we expected to begin the experience with a nice drink in a lounge. Instead we were seated in two worn and dusty chairs and no one ever came over to offer us a bar menu or take an order for a drink, in spite of the fact that there were about six waiters ten feet away talking to each other and no other customers. We should have left then but instead went back to the host and told him no one was waiting on us at the bar. He didn’t seem to care, making no apology or offer to help. Instead, he just took us to our table. We were seated next to a window with a view of a side street and an empty parking lot across the street. No ambiance to say the least. The only other customers we saw were a table of ten in shorts and flip flops (guess the dress code no longer applies here) but there were lots of staff standing around. This was on a Saturday night at 7pm and in contrast the Baha Mar restaurants where we were staying were packed. We ordered a filet mignon, duck, potato purée, a glass of wine and a coke. Food was awful. Duck was stringy and chewy, steak was ordered medium but came very rare with two cold, congealed sauces, potatoes were cold. Food was just inedible. No one asked us why we didn’t eat our dinners but they did bring the $250 check promptly. Most expensive dinner I never ate… We will not return and will warn our family and friends to stay away. This place is just coasting on its past reputation. A sad end to a great legacy.

We ate there for news years eve, which cost us $75 a person extra for their show (they didn’t inform us when we booked). They got my steak cooked wrong 3 times and finally just cancelled my meal. Server had no experience and took order first from my daughter and then me (instead of my wife) and she never asked my wife how she would like her steak cooked! My wife did explain to her after she wants its medium well done, and when she got her steak it was medium rare! The service was lack lustre that night and both my steak and my wife steak were not cooked properly. Also took a long time for our drinks and food took forever and made us miss the New Year’s party we had tickets booked to see a performance ($1200). Too bad as this was our favorite restaurant. Other families who went the same night had similar negative experiences.

So we were looking for a different experience. We ended up paying over $300 for 2 kids 2 adults with 2 glasses of wine. Kids pasta with butter $28. Cauliflower steak (boiled and drenched in mayo sauce), was $49. Fish dish $69 drenched in mayo sauce. NY strip $80. Very overrated. Service was nice but because the cost of everything in Bahamas is expensive, felt guilty and felt obligated to pay. Idk how the Bahamians stay afloat on this island!

We were on a cruise, and I booked directly with Greycliff for their famous afternoon tea. You pay in advance for the tea and gratuity. Google says it was a 13 minute walk from the cruise pier, but it was really about 30 minutes total since we we had to walk about 3 cruise ship lengths on the pier to exit. I had printed a map before we left home, since we would not have have cell phone service. It felt like a safe walk from the ship to Greycliff. There was a man in the triangular crosswalk selling a few snacks in his stand, and he gave us pointers on where to cross safely. We arrived an hour early. Derrick, the host greeted us warmly and graciously invited us to take a walk in the garden or sit in the sitting room area while we waited until the kitchen opened and then he would be glad to seat us early. We walked down the stairs to the garden, past the moss covered statues, to the pretty mosaic pool. There was a fish pond with koi and turtles, and I sat on a padded chair to watch the tall bamboo sway in the breeze. 30 minutes before our 12:30 pm reservation, we checked back, and Derrick gave us a lovely table with a view of the Governor's house. This mansion dating back to 1726 retains its charming, historic elegance where royalty and celebrities have dined and stayed. Major, our waiter, was warm, friendly, and made us feel like "beautiful people" and well taken care of. He happily indulged my picture taking and enthusiastically took several pictures for us. The Caribbean tea he recommended was a lovely complement to the sandwiches and desserts without being too fruity or sweet. Definitely come hungry, it was a huge tea with whole sandwiches cut into four slices: egg salad with a spike of onion, smoked salmon with onion and capers on a bagel, cheese, and cucumber sandwiches. There was chocolate cake, coconut cake, two types of cookies, a scone, and Greycliff chocolates. Major took excellent care of us keeping our tea cups filled with a smile. We had a lovely experience! Thank you! The bathroom is located down steps off the porch. It would be a challenge for those with mobility constraints. Over 30 years before, I had come to Greycliff for a lunch on my college graduation trip. I had wanted to dine at a 5 star restaurant and where celebrities ate (Winston Churchill, Roger Moore, Brooke Shields). I remembered the attentive service and elegant environment. It was my first time in such a fancy restaurant. It was a very special experience to return again and see the gardens and pool this time. A little further past Greycliff is their chocolate shop as well as a place to get cold chocolate drinks. I had a sample of the chilled white chocolate, and it was so delicious. There is also a wine making/tasting place along the block, and you can mix your own wine through a Greycliff class.

You must put Graycliff restaurant at the top of your dinner list when visiting Nassau! This ranked in our top 3 of all time dinners, and we’ve been blessed to have some special occasion’s. Arrive a bit early to enjoy a cocktail and listen to live music in the sitting room. Pam was playing the piano and was an absolute doll with a beautiful jazzy voice. After a bit (not rushed) you go to your table for a wonderful dinner. The menu is extensive and the food was delicious. I recommend you order the chocolate soufflé (with your dinner order), it was scrumptious. After dinner you can buy a handmade Cuban cigar and watch it being rolled. You can come back to the sitting room for an after dinner drink and enjoy the cigar as you listen to the music. We had the opportunity to meet Enrique, the owner, who purchased the property 50-years ago. He’s easy to talk to and encouraged us to check out the beautiful pool (oldest in the Bahamas) and then come back for a tour of the wine cellar. As the 3rd largest private wine collection in the world, the wine cellar is hard to explain when you take it all in as a whole. The cellar itself has a rich history (garrison, jail, military edit, etc.) and seems to just keep going around each corner, with hundreds of bottles lining every crevice and all of the rooms, with the total count exceeding 200,000 bottles. There are so many interesting bottles, but the $200,000 1/2 bottle of Italian wine from the 1,700’s certainly catches your eye, or for something to share amongst a larger group you can purchase the $40,000 magnum of champagne as just one of many options. The entire staff are very welcoming and provided us with top-notch service. Everyone checks in on you, so sit back and enjoy and I hope you have as memorable of an experience as my wife and I did.

I've vacationed in Bahamas several times and dining at Graycliff was on my bucket list. It was an unforgetable experience but for the wrong reasons. The tone was set when the Maitre D greeted us and it felt like we were inconveniencing him. We were showed to our table which was really nice. It overlooked the courtyard. Our cocktail order was quickly taken and the drinks arrived fast. Where things changed was when our food order was taken. We only order two mains and dessert. No apps and no wine. The attitude quickly changed towards us and other tables began getting much more attention. For example, we poured our own water, my husband ordered a seafood platter. It came and was really good however other tables received the crackers to open the stone crab and all of the other tables received a bowl with water and lemon to clean hands. I received my tagliatelle with truffle caviar. I asked the waiter if there were real truffles and I was told yes. It came and it was mushrooms with truffle oil. Although the dish was delicious it was misrepresented by the waiter. The dessert took 55 min from the time of clearing the dinner plates to receiving it. It came overcooked, on a chipped plate and I could have made a better souffle in the microwave. I normally am never this picky and don't ever like to write bad reviews but for the price you pay here you should demand perfection. Save your time and money and don't dine here when you're in Nassau.

From the moment you are greeted at the gate, the personalized attention sets the bar. Was a welcomed change to be honest. This location was chosen to celebrate my birthday, so grateful to celebrate there. Ambiance = 5 Stars Historical Relevance = 5 Stars Wine Collection = Off the charts! Appetizer(s) = Mozzarella and Tomato, Conch Chowder were absolutely delicious Primary Meal - Lobster (Best on the Island) and the peppercorn filet = 5 Stars Dessert - the Birthday Cake (spiced) was delicious while the soufflé was beautiful (Chocolate and Banana) it was mild, thinking that combination of flavors cancelled each out. My fault for going that route instead of sticking to one. Literally felt like stepping back in time! It would have been very ideal overall had it been all adults, a child was a tad bit loud and her pitch echoed the dining patio. Unfortunately that would be my only ding. Excellent evening, thank you Graycliff!

After trying a couple of restaurants during our stay in Nassau we managed to book a table for dinner at the Greycliff - oh my goodness this was one of the best evenings we have had in a long time. The restaurant, food and staff were all amazing - we also got to have a very long chat with our waiter who was wonderful. At the end of the evening we finished off with a drink in the piano bar listening to some lovely songs. I cannot recommend this enough, the prices are quite expensive but worth every penny so if you get to visit I am positive you will love it too!! Enjoy 😁

After hearing good and poor things we decided to check it out. You never know. Well our experience was not a good one. We waited forever to be seated with a reservation. Dining room crowded. Special drinks way way over priced as was everything else. I don’t mind that if the food is exceptional. I ordered Salmon and ask specifically not for it to be overcooked! It was horrible! Ruined my appetite. Friend had grouper, very good. The pictures on website do not look like the restaurant, it is very dark and dated. Took almost an hour for our food . Not impressed. Wish I wasn’t so disappointed because I love old and old architecture and this is just way beyond its prime. Our bill was $450.00 for 2 entrees some sides, 3 specialty dinks and 2 glasses of wine. Not worth it. But the grouper was delish .my friend had that .

I’m delighted to share with you a diamond hidden on this island of amazing moments. I dined at the Graycliff with 2 friends and was elated by the elevated atmosphere and experience. Our hosts Karen, Chris, Henry and Alex showed us how special visiting the Graycliff should be. We started with their special cocktails and later were given a tour of their wine cellar which houses the 3rd larger private collection in the world. Guys, some wine was priced over 200k! Afterwords we were taken to lunch where I enjoyed a conch chowder, which included a Sherry tomato base. It was a symphony of flavors delighted by the most tender conch I’ve ever eaten. Later, I had a cheese plate presented with an amazing collection of meats which had a great balance of sweet, creamy and salty that I’ve had. Lastly, my lamb sliders were expertly prepared. In conclusion, visiting this place would never be a mistake. I wholeheartedly endorse the experience here, and I certainly hope you get to as well.

We did the wine luncheon on a Monday afternoon. You start with a tour of the wine cellar, which is the third largest private collection in the world. Then we had an amuse bouche with a sparkling wine cocktail, followed by soup, main course (steak and fish), cheese, and dessert. The food was very good and the service was even better. Well worth the time and money.

We really loved the ambience of Greycliff. The food was also good, especially the lobster bisque. But there were a few detractors that they need to work on. Before we even opened the menu, for example, our server asked if we wanted to try the house cocktail and we agreed. At the end of the night when the bill came, we saw that these cocktails were $36 EACH. That's way, way too much for a cocktail, especially a cocktail of the caliber served at Greycliff. The service also was lacking for a place of this price point. We waited about 25 minutes after asking for the check, for example, and then I wound up just going to find our server and hovering next to him until he got the bill. When you're paying nearly $400 for two cocktails, a glass of wine, two mains, an app and a desert, the service should really be close to impeccable. Overall, a lovely place but not worth the steep price.
