Santeka's Taste Test | Did it Pass?

I had a great experience at Viola’s Bar & Grill in Nassau, Bahamas. We ordered a variety of dishes, and every item was delightful. The portions were generous, and the food was fresh and flavorful. The vibe is super casual, and we felt comfortable in our beachwear right after leaving the beach. In fact, most of the other diners seemed to have just come from the sand as well! The restaurant is open-air, with no indoor seating, so be prepared for the elements.


However, there was one small hiccup. When we first arrived, the restaurant's payment system was down, but they didn’t inform us about it upfront. When we asked about paying by credit card before being seated (which is important since not all small businesses in the Bahamas accept them), they didn’t mention the issue with the system. Thankfully, we had enough cash to cover our sizable bill, but had we not, it would’ve been quite a hassle to drive back to our hotel, which was 25 minutes away, to grab more cash. It’s a minor thing, but a heads-up would’ve been helpful.


 

The Vibe:

  • Casual

  • Intimate and relaxed atmosphere

  • Perfect for a laid-back dining experience by the beach.


 

Menu Favorites:

  • Calamari

  • Tacos

  • Steamed Snapper

  • Orange Glaze Salmon

  • Bahamian Macaroni

  • Yellow Conch Fried Rice

  • Cracked Conch

Important Tip(s):

  • Be sure to have cash on hand. While they accept credit cards, their system may go down unexpectedly. It's always a good idea to be prepared!

Viola’s Bar & Grill truly captures the essence of Bahamian dining with its great food and relaxed atmosphere, making it an excellent spot to unwind and enjoy the island life.
