Graycliff Restaurant

AMAZING!!! Our three families (party of 12) wanted a special evening for our pre-Christmas vacation and Graycliff delivered! We were seated outside on the patio under the lights, and it was a perfect evening from a weather standpoint. From the moment we were seated, the staff could not have improved our level of service any more. Water glasses were never empty and the wine and mixed drinks always replenished on time.. There were 12 of us, and I believe we ordered nine different dishes so we definitely sampled a good portion of the menu. Every single person seated at the table said it was one of the best meals of their lives. We finished the evening by ordering three different soufflé versions, and it was the perfect end to our meal. Before we left the restaurant, they were gracious enough to give us a tour of the amazing wine cellar. Then, we went upstairs to enjoy a final drink while listening to the piano player. Several of us also enjoyed one of the hand-rolled cigars. For a special evening, I cannot think of a better restaurant. Highly, highly recommend!!

The great cliff restaurant has a really cool atmosphere. It’s really a fun place to eat. The service and food were top-notch. It was within an easy walking distance of the port and downtown. It’s on a really cool street with fun umbrellas hanging from the road. This place is definitely worth going to. The bathrooms were very nice as well.

I had an extremely great time here at this restaurant. I got to sing songs with the piano man and have the most awesome time! I gotta say the food was really good, but the prices are insanely expensive! But you get what you pay for! I would highly suggest this place!

Always a must on my list when visiting Nassau. I love the historic charm, authenticity and atmosphere of the place. The great room with the subtle lights behind the bottles, the portraits, great cocktails and the piano… one of those special places in the world worth preserving. The food and the drinks are pricey but good. The staff serving dinner is professional, charming and always ready with recommendation and catering to all the needs. One aspect that put the shadow on tonight’s experience was the restaurant welcome / reception - no smile, welcome or anything. We were a party of six, and I told him we are here an hour earlier before our reservation because I love the place and want to show it to my friends - I thought he will say something how special it is, or offer a tour or some recommendations to show us the wine cellar after dinner or tell us to walk around the gardens to the pool, or anything welcoming really… but we got nothing. We sat ourselves by the piano, ordered some cocktails (waited a while for them) and then since no one seemed friendly or approachable or interested to give us any attention we just waited for dinner time at which point we proceeded to our table. Overall, a missed opportunity for the staff to introduce the place to my friends and make us feel welcome. My friends probably won’t be eager to return next year because of it. Oh - and the dining room table cloths and the service plates look kind of cheap, some Mexican vibe, definitely not elegant, I hope they redo that asap.

The restaurant is definitely a special occasion restaurant. It’s classic old world charm with excellent service. We had so many people tending to us that I couldn’t keep track, but Lock-something (I forgot his name) and the bus boy (his name starts with a “C”) stood out! We ordered the following: Seafood medley in bechamel sauce Cheese and truffle purses with butter, sage and truffle oil 10 oz grilled filet of antibiotic free prime beef, red wine reduction and Bernaise sauce Slow oven roasted crisp duck in a Bahamian citrus sauce escoffier Mashed potatoes Creamed spinach Guava souffle Graycliff Bahamian bread pudding with vanilla gelato I really enjoyed the seafood medley appetizer and my husband enjoyed his cheese purses. Originally my steak was overdone but it was quickly rectified by the waiter who’s name starts with “Lock”. He was so gracious about the whole thing, which I really appreciated. The duck was excellent. The skin was nice and crispy and the meat was tender! The mashed potatoes and the creamed spinach were also good. The guava souffle was delicious but I wouldn’t order the bread pudding again. It had too many spices for my taste. Overall it was a good meal with excellent service, especially by Lock-whatever his name is. There’s is a $4 charge for sharing appetizers and a $10 charge for sharing an entree. If you don’t eat a lot, it might be worth it. I heard that their wine cellar is outstanding but we only had sparkling water and two diet Cokes. They had an interesting looking mocktail which I would have ordered if I had seen it before I ordered my second Coke. There’s no parking so you have to valet for $10. Remember to bring extra cash for that plus the tip.

This restaurant is a must try if you looking for a wonderful, fine dining experience. The food was delicious - especially the guava soufflé. I highly recommend preordering a soufflé when ordering your appetizers and main meal. The service was excellent - our waiter was funny and attentive. The dining room decor was unique and brought a lot of charm to our dining experience. I will definitely be back next time I visit Nassau!

I didn't get much to eat here, but what I did have was wonderful and all the food I saw at my table looked great, as well as at the other tables. They do have gluten free bread, but it's just standard sandwich bread. The cocktails are very good, they apparently have their own coffee. The interior and exterior are gorgeous. There is even live music, they have a person playing the piano. Will say that this is a smoking establishment and they even have some one who will roll. Another, highlight for me was the plating, they had such beautiful plates.

Let's start at the beginning. Grift #1. We parked our own car and when we entered, they took our keys. When we left, they changed us $10 for valet. After ordering, the waiter asked if we wanted the dessert soufle. I asked for a few minutes to ask my table of 4 and he looked annoyed and never came back. We had to ask a different waiter to put in the souffle order.The waiter then completely forgot our appetizer, which we told him to cancel, and then looked annoyed when we said no we no longer wanted it. I ordered the ribeye medium rare and it came medium well. The waiter never even came by to ask how our food was and I didnt want to have to flag him over so I ate what I could and my husband ate the rest so we didn't waste a $100 steak. My friends porterhouse was supposed to be medium and came well done. He also ate it because he doesn't like to complain. If the waiter had come over to ask about our food we would have told them but the very short waiter never came back. Grift #2. Waiters don't care because they make their 18% tip guaranteed on the bill yet had the nerve to ask for more tip because "credit card tips take 2 weeks to clear". We got a flat water, my cup stayed empty half the meal and the waiter never bothered to ask if we wanted more water. For a $500 meal, i expected better. I've had better service and steak at Outback. The only reason for the 1 star is the tour of the wine cellar was awesome!
