OIA: Oceanfront Dining at Cable Beach
OIA is the most romantic restaurant on this list, serving Mediterranean and Japanese cooking on Cable Beach. You can sit outside with the ocean in front of you or inside in an upscale room.
The menu is incredible and we're sure some of the ingredients will make for some good conversation. Dishes include a 12-piece omakase (a chef-selected sushi tasting), seared Hokkaido scallops, and Maine lobster linguine. It suits first-time visitors, anniversary couples, and anyone who can't decide between sushi and pasta.
- Where: 340 W Bay St, Cable Beach.
- Dinner hours: 6:00 pm to 10:30 pm.
- How to book: Reserve through the OpenTable link on the OIA page.
- Price: Ranges from $80-$200 per person depending on your choice of cuisine.
One thing to know: dinner starts at 6:00 pm, so check the sunset time for your dates if the view matters to you. Prices may vary by dish, so check with the restaurant.
Dinner by the Beach at OIA
Want to take it up a level and organize something a little more private? A private dinner on the beach at OIA is a private beachfront setup with a dedicated private server and sunset dining. It has been purposefully made for proposals and intimate anniversary celebrations.
You can always book a regular table at OIA and walk the sand afterward, and plenty of couples do. If the night is a proposal or a big anniversary, though, the beach dinner gives you the privacy a dining room can't.
If that sounds like the candlelight dinner on the beach that you've been searching for, then feel free to reach out and book your spot. Keep in mind, this is something that needs to be booked in advance, so we'd suggest reaching out early so we can make this the perfect evening for you.
Solemar: Sunset, Seafood and Cocktails
Solemar sits by the sea on the west coast near the airport, and it's known for its sunsets. The menu covers seafood, sushi, and grilled dishes, with signature cocktails to match.
Order Lobster Linguine or the Whole Maine Lobster, then save room for Baked Alaska. It suits couples who want the evening to start with a drink and end with dessert, and it works well for a first night in town.
- Where: West coast, near the airport.
- Hours: Sunset snacks run 4:00 pm to 5:45 pm; dinner runs 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm.
- How to book: Reserve through the OpenTable link on the Solemar page.
- Price: Anywhere from $40-$140 per person
Here's the practical part. Sunset time shifts through the year, and sunset snacks end at 5:45 pm while dinner starts at 6:00 pm. If the sunset matters most, check the time for your dates and arrive in the right window. Check with the restaurant for the best arrival time.
Meze Grill: Mediterranean Steakhouse
Meze Grill is the special-occasion steak pick, and it's built for sharing. Meze Grill serves Mediterranean plates and steaks on the west coast near the airport.
We'd suggest starting with the Meze Platter, the flaming saganaki (a fried cheese dish served flaming), and baked oysters. Then choose between steaks and branzino (Mediterranean sea bass). Finish with the 30-layer chocolate cake, ideally with two forks.
- Where: West coast, near the airport.
- Dinner hours: 5:30 pm to 10:30 pm.
- How to book: Reserve through the OpenTable link on the Meze Grill page.
- Price: Ranges from $40-$140 per person
It suits couples who like going out for dinner, splitting plates and lingering while they enjoy each others company.
Teppanyaki at Latitudes: Double-date option
Yes, there's a teppanyaki experience in Nassau, and Latitudes is where to find it. If you are thinking of doing a double date, then the Japanese live cooking experience at Latitudes puts you at a teppanyaki (Japanese-style cooking on a hot flat grill) table, with bay views over Nassau Harbor.
Dinner turns into a small show. The options include Caribbean Lobster, Filet Mignon, Seafood Combo, and Surf and Turf, served with miso soup, rice, vegetables, and tempura gelato. If you're looking for something that will keep you entertained and you're the kind who likes to crank up the volume, this is for you.
- Where: E Bay St, Nassau Harbor Club.
- Hours: Check with the restaurant.
- How to book: Reserve through the OpenTable link on the Latitudes page; email enquiry for the teppanyaki experience.
- Price: Depends on how many people you go with
Amara Beach: A Daytime Date on Cable Beach
Amara Beach is the daytime answer. Amara Beach is open from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm on Cable Beach, and it's open to everyone, not only hotel guests or residents. The menu leans casual, with ceviche, flatbreads, and spritzes.
It suits couples with a free afternoon, a first date, or a pre-dinner warm-up before OIA. Pair a spritz with the ceviche and you've got a date that doesn't need a reservation or a plan.
- Where: Cable Beach.
- Hours: 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.
- How to book: Walk-ins only.
- Price: Roughly $35 per person
That last point is the caveat. Without a reservation you can't lock in a table, so keep the plan flexible. Hours may vary, so check with the restaurant.
Wreckers: Harbor Views in Spanish Wells
Wreckers is the pick if you'd rather leave Nassau behind. Wreckers serves a Mediterranean and Bahamian menu with harbor views in Spanish Wells, and it's open daily from 8:00 am. That makes it easy to build a whole day around it rather than a single dinner.
It suits couples who want a getaway more than a dinner reservation, or anyone who has already done Nassau and wants a change of scene. Walk-ins are welcome.
- Where: Spanish Wells.
- Hours: Open daily from 8:00 am; check with the restaurant for closing time.
- How to book: Walk-ins are welcome; the reservations button on the page leads to the general Titan restaurants page.
- Price: Anywhere from $20 all the way to $100 per person.
Which Date Night Restaurant in the Bahamas Is Right for You?
No single restaurant wins every night. The right one depends on what you're celebrating and how much time you have, so here's how to sort it:
- One night in town: Book OIA for the oceanfront setting and the omakase, or Solemar if the sunset is the main event.
- A proposal or anniversary: Start with the private dinner on the beach at OIA, and email early.
- A double date or group of four: The teppanyaki table at Latitudes, where the grill is shared and the show is the point.
- A quiet harbor view for two: A regular table at Latitudes.
- A special-occasion steak: Meze Grill, with the shared plates and the 30-layer chocolate cake.
- A daytime date: Amara Beach, from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.
- Getting away from Nassau: Wreckers in Spanish Wells.
If you're celebrating, mention it when you book and ask what the restaurant can arrange. Want a different cuisine or area that wasn't mentioned? See all Titan restaurants to compare menus, hours, and book your night out.
