Sapodilla's sophisticated Island-style architecture and Colonial influence is set amidst lush gardens, tropical wetlands and beautiful Bahamian artwork harmoniously blending tropical charm with modern elegance.

During a five-day trip to the Bahamas, my wife and I scheduled five dinners at what we thought would be the best on the island. I had thought the restaurant the night after Sapodilla was going to be the best. It wasn't close. Sapodilla was amazing, right from when you enter. The stairs to the door into the restaurant had a nice wow factor. Very nice. Upon entering, you are met by a piano playing. Another very nice touch. The restaurant is not that large, but large enough where it was the right balance between too quiet and loud. Our server, Trevor, was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. The night after, at the restaurant I originally looked so much forward to, that server showed little interest in doing their job well. It was such a disappointing contrast from the job that Trevor at Sapodilla, one that I truly enjoyed. For our dinner, my wife and I shared a very good Caesar salad to start our meal. We each had an entree of angus striploin, each superbly plated, highlighted by an unexpectedly scrumptious carrot puree, that was a perfect match with the dish, a nice contrast from a second dipping option. After talking with Trevor about my interest in espresso martinis, he had the bartender bring a slightly different recipe from the first, and it was absolutely delicious. To finish our meal, we shared a banana tart, which stood out for its presentation and taste. All together, it stood out as easily the best meal I've had in the last year or longer. I wish to go there again in the future, but a flight will first have to happen.

The lobster was inedible...had the consistency of boiled squash, and was bitter to the taste. Had my wife taste it to verify that my palate hadn't gone rogue, and she agreed. The chef stated that that was The restaurant provided a different dish (snapper) in its place that was very good. Wait service was great; attentive and friendly.

We dined here 6 Dec. 2024 to celebrate our wedding anniversary (which was the next day, but we had another commitment then). It was simply one of the best dining experiences we've had (and we've had many). The food was excellent, portioned just right, and we were both surprised by the bill which was actually lower than we expected. Will definitely return again.

Service was distracted, slow and unattentive. Food was good, not great or equal to the value charged.

We had a great meal at Sapodilla. Our server Trevor was excellent. He made us a fantastic Caesar salad and Bananas Royale dessert table side and provided sh professional and engaging service throughout our meal. The ambiance is great with the live pianist and surround artwork along with the beautiful exterior gardens.
