Delightful meal. Table side Caesar salad was delicious. Snapper fresh as can be. Service attentive and friendly in an elegant gracious atmosphere on a beautifully landscaped estate. The atmosphere befits a dinner jacket for gentlemen and a dressy outfit for women. The pianist provided lovely dinner music throughout. Highly recommend the entire experience. Topped off by a friendly driver who picked us up and took us back to our hotel as a complimentary service of the restaurant.

Es ist ein wunderschönes Anwesen, welches uns auch nach unserem Essen noch bei einer kleinen privaten Führung gezeigt wurde. Auch das Ambiente im Restaurant mit Live Piano-Musik war einfach wie aus einer anderen Welt. Wir hatten einen rundum gelungenen Abend mit einem sehr aufmerksamen und unterhaltsamen Kellner Namens "Earl the Pearl". Es ist schön, wenn man als Gast das Gefühl hat, dass dem Service sein Job so viel Freude macht. Hervorragendes Essen, aber auch hochpreisig - wir wussten das aber vorher und bei all dem, was wir hier gesehen haben und erleben durften, ist das auch gerechtfertigt. Einziger Minuspunkt: Innen ist es etwas zu kalt, ich war froh, einen Schal dabei gehabt zu haben. Absolute Empfehlung!

Sapodilla was one of the highlights of our time in Nassau. The service was incredible, from the driver to/from our hotel to everyone in the restaurant. The live piano player was wonderful, and such a nice touch. The food was also delicious, and we really enjoyed everything we had.

We booked Sapodilla before our arrival in Nassau because of it’s reviews. The estate is beautiful, ambiance is excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive. The piano player in the bar added even more to the ambiance. The food was good, but just good. The biggest drawback we had was the inability to contact Sapodilla on the phone to arrange the promised hotel free shuttle pickup. We paid for a cab to get there and took the free shuttle back to the hotel. Also, the restaurant’s website has not been updated and says they had a warehouse fire, but they are open. We thought that might be why we couldn’t get through. The fire was a year ago.
