Reviews
I dined here last Monday upon arrival for a conference at ILTM North America, and I can honestly say — Café Boulud set the tone for my entire week. My reservation was at 8:30 p.m., and I ended up closing the restaurant, staying until almost midnight. It was one of those rare evenings where time slows down — just a few of us left, the lights soft, the music gentle, and the service impeccable.
Anthony, my waiter, deserves every bit of praise. His professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made the evening unforgettable. Every course was perfection — elegant, balanced, and deeply satisfying. You can tell the team here takes pride in the guest experience from the first greeting to the final glass of wine.
For those who don’t know, Café Boulud originally hails from New York, and this location at Baha Mar is only the second in the world. What a privilege to experience this level of culinary excellence right here in the Bahamas.
As a global foodie and Google reviewer (Michelle Rodriguez Suarez — follow along for more worldwide dining stories ✨), this was my first Baha Mar restaurant review — and what a way to begin. Absolute perfection!

I started with the jerk tuna — it was seasoned well and ended up being my favorite dish of the night. Next came the Caesar salad, which was plentiful and fresh.
For the mains, I had the duck and the salmon. The duck portion was very small and extremely chewy — I understand duck tends to be that way, but this was borderline bubblegum texture. The salmon was better, paired with a small portion of white rice and curry. The fish itself was a little dry, but the rice and curry were flavorful and well-prepared.
For desert the lava cake and espresso was a good choice.
The food is simply astounding. The duck I’ve now had on two occasions is hands-down the best I’ve had anywhere. It’s perfectly prepared, intensely flavorful, and unforgettable. But it’s not just the mains—every course is treated with care and precision. The fresh bread is heavenly, the appetizers are creative and refined, and the desserts? Mind-blowing. They’re the kind of desserts that make you pause mid-bite and smile.
This time, we brought our twin boys with us, and they both said it was the best restaurant they’ve ever eaten at—and that’s saying something from two discerning little diners! Watching their faces light up with every course made the night more memorable.
Café Boulud at the Rosewood is more than just a great meal—it’s a beautifully orchestrated experience from start to finish—exceptional food, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that manages to be both elegant and comfortable. We can’t wait to return.
The service was generally ok, but they need more training. I asked for a second order of the bread multiple times, and it was never delivered. Food left a lot to be desired. The family generally was ok with it but mine, the pasta with shrimp and lobster, was horrendous! I found one shrimp in there and perhaps 3-4 small pieces of lobster. The worst was the pasta sauce, which looked like ragu. It tasted nothing like what was advertised. And it was just plain bad, so much so I returned it to the kitchen (and I don’t normally return food). The kicker is that they still charged me for that entree. For the price they charge (hint: very expensive) it was disappointing to say the least. Never going back there.
Beautiful restaurant, nice atmosphere.
Food was not great, not even good. I had the tuna tataki. The tuna was old and flavorless. The highlight of the dish was a very tasty cucumber relish, but even this could not save the dish. For entre I had the fillet with foie gras. The foie gra was seasoned and seared perfectly. The filet was very tuff, dry, and not seasoned. My guess is that it was cooked in advance and then reheated. As a side I got the green salad. The greens were very crisp and fresh. The salad was very basic with chopped romain and carrots and a very tart vinaigrette.
With a glass of wine and a glass of port this was a $300 meal. I expected to pay this. And I expected to have some really exceptional food. Only one of my expectations was met. This would be one star review if I was thinking about only the food. The food server and atmosphere helped to push it up to 2 stars.
I would not return or recommend.
