    Jerk Mahi Mahi
    James K.

    It's a Caribbean themed restaurant, with some beautiful fireplace seating for ambiance. It's a very nice feature about this place. I haven't been here in many years, and thought we'd check it out again. We ended up having an "odd" (but not bad) time at this place. It's a little confusing about how to get a table near the fire pits, or in the restaurant. We initially went online and requested for a reservation, which seemed preferred, but upon entering found out it wasn't necessary...anyways.. We ended up in the restaurant however (which was fine) and it still has this nice Caribbean theme and decor. We started off with one server, then another walked up and said they were going to let her go home, even though she continued taking tables around us, which we thought was odd also. So, the new server was quite a bit more knowledgeable and very helpful. They also use the electronic table tents like I've seen at Red Robin (?) or K-Pot, which -I personally think- makes service a lot less personal. You can cash out or re-order drinks etc on them. I kind of look at them like, if I wanted to order it myself, I would have gone to McDonald's and used the kiosk, but I get it. The food.. We ordered the 3 cheese crab appetizer, and never got it, no big deal and didn't end up paying for it. We did get the Salmon and the Mahi however. Both very tasty, but not a lot to the portion/value, and washed them down with a couple of "Painkillers", a Caribbean drink from their menu. It was also pretty good. The place has a unique theme I'd like to try again. Some of their Caribbean drinks listed sounded absolutely incredible, and their burgers looked great and were normal 1/2 pound. I don't want to judge it off one experience, as it seemed for every 1 thing "off" there was a positive to make up for it. I based my 3 stars off this last experience with the staff switch, table tents and the value to price, but not the quality of the food, or the service we received, and look forward to trying again in hopes to update this again. I do recommend others to give it a try, the Caribbean theme, food, drinks and the fireplaces offer a unique perspective.

    I will start this by saying I am not a big fan of Caribbean food but saw they had burgers and pasta on the menu I set a dinner for the dining group. I wished that I had stayed with my plan for a burger because the spinach and artichoke dip was on the thinner side and not even near my average. The side salad with ginger dressing must have came with peanut dressing since it was too spicy. The pineapple pound cake that I was saving room for had to have the rum sauce put on again for it to light and ended up too rummy. The coconut shrimp I got to try was the best I have had. My table mates did like their choices. The service was slow and not around to check on us enough. The place did have a happy feel and the music wasn't too loud. Plenty of parking. I don't think I will come back.

    Having been here once before, there's a natural expectation of things. What we didn't expect was a broken air conditioner when it was 93° outside. A few colleagues and I came in for dinner last night. A few of us ate here before so we kind of knew what to expect. Our server was very friendly. She made some recommendations for appetizers and entrées. We took her recommendation on the appetizer and went with the Firecracker shrimp. We were forewarned that this is a spicy/hot dish. Yes it is. It' came pretty quickly (about five minutes). yes indeed it was spicy. They give you a generous portion so if you get the large one, figure 4 or more people would have plenty each to share. Two of us went with the fish tacos. Both got it blackened, and both liked the meal. I went with the grilled salmon. The salmon was OK, not fishy, but not super tasteful either. Don't know what they put on top of it, but that didn't help. The side dishes included, steamed broccoli and.rice. You don't get much broccoli, but it was good. You get plenty of rice and that was OK. One of their specialties is the margarita. We tried that. It was one called the dragon and it was pretty sweet tasting.

    I went there for the second time this month. Great place to eat before going to the movies theater in the same parking lot. This time I ordered their new dinner menu item which was a wonderful beef tenderloin and four pieces of coconut shrimp. I ordered my steak medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. Asparagus and thick cut French fries were served as side dishes. Our waitress was extremely nice and made sure we got out in time for the movie. The manager came over to check on our meal, which we raved about. We sat in a nice both near other couples out on a Friday night.

    Came for the bar to get appetizers and drinks, ordered spinach and artichoke dip ( not very good). I did not eat the appetizer, the drinks were good. I wasn't too sure about the receipts being in/on drinks but maybe that's normal . The waiter was very nice/attentive and the scenery inside is beautiful giving island vibes.

    Blackened Mahi Tacos

    Restaurant is currently understaffed, we had to wait about 40 minutes for a table even though it was fairly empty. Ambiance was nice, fun tropical vibes. Food was okay, nothing stood out. Virgin pina coladas were decent. Waitstaff was good, attentive. Everything was fine, nothing special.

    We arrived around 3pm on a Friday. Once we got seated, it took 14 minutes for someone to come over. The lady who came in behind us sat at the bar and had her drinks and food before we even ordered. The bartender was also our server ( we were not seated in the bar), and while there were ten ish patrons in the entire restaurant, we got very little service. I ordered the jerk Mahi, which tasted very good, but it was the smallest piece of Mahi I've ever had in a restaurant. As much as we typically like Bahama Breeze, the SE michigan locations do not hit the mark and we will only visit the southern states locations.

    Service was very good. The tequila sunburn salmon was excellent. The mashed sweet potatoes had great flavor. I would get this again.

    This was an excellent meal starting with a great drink. Dani, my waitress was outstanding being attentive but not overly. The ambiance is wonderful with the outdoor seating was perfect for the wonderful weather evening.

Choices are a bit limited where their entree's are an upscale burger/hotdog and mostly fusion style taco's like Bahn M Vietnamese chicken Taco's, 66 Birria Brisket Barebacoa taco's, Umami Bomb grilled tomato taco's, Baja fish taco's and Tempura fried Mahi tacos. Aside from the main entree's they also offer a selection of Tapas and salad selections For my first meal here I got their custom blend cheese burger that had caramelized onions, house made pickles, lettuce, tomato and a house sauce with fries. The burger was very tasty cooked to perfection with a medium doneness (no over cooking here unless you ask for it) where the sauce and pickles gave it a unique flavor profile that I liked. Fries were crunchy and nicely done as well. For my drink I ordered a house Margarita from their tequila inspired craft cocktail menu. The Margarita was very smooth and quite tasty and very reasonably priced at $10. MY only gripe with the drink is it was made with Reposadao tequila where my personal tastes trend towards a brighter Margarita and Blanco tequila. Having said that I could drink this Margarita all day long! Relative to staff and facility, the restaurant is definately on the rustic side where it could probably use an update on the ceramic floors and tables/chairs. It's not bad but it would add greater appeal if they invested a little more money on the interior in my opinion. Staff was super friendly and I enjoyed my conversation with my waitress who also served as the bartender. Overall the uniqueness of this menu and how good the taco menu looked will definately bring me back in the near future as I need to give those guys a try as well. If you are in the area and are a fan of well prepared food you should definately give these guys a look see

If the restaurant stops seating guests at 9:20, that really should be reflected in their hours or communicated somewhere. It was disappointing to make the trip there based on the posted hours only to be turned away.
