Let’s talk about Tropic Breeze—this spot brings a touch of elevated Caribbean flair to Little Exuma. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly and seated right away. Drinks came out quickly, and while the server did mention they were out of a few popular dishes (a bit of a letdown), what we did order more than made up for it. We started with the lobster poppers—and wow. Perfectly cooked lobster, lightly battered and served with a tartar-style sauce. I easily could’ve devoured two orders! For mains, we tried the Seafood Platter, Seafood Nachos, and the Ranch Chicken Burger. My husband and youngest shared the seafood platter and cleaned their plates—everything was fresh, lightly tempura-fried, and not overly breaded. A total hit. The seafood nachos, unfortunately, didn’t live up to the rest. While they were loaded with seafood, the freshness wasn’t quite on par with the platter, and the cheese blend just didn’t complement the dish. The Ranch Chicken Burger, though? Total flavor bomb. Perfectly cooked and seasoned—easily a standout. If you’re looking for a more refined Caribbean meal with great service and a chill vibe, Tropic Breeze is absolutely worth a stop. You won’t leave disappointed. Read my full review for a warning even though I’m giving them a positive review. First off, the food is fantastic. Fresh seafood and very flavorful dishes. The view of the ocean was beautiful and our server was so nice. So here comes the warning. There is a 15% service charge plus a 10% government tax and that’s before gratuity. The service fee is not gratuity. Add 15-20% for gratuity and your meal ends up with nearly 50% in taxes. Our lunch for family of 5 was $300 which is pretty outrageous. I realize we are in the Bahamas but this is really dishonest. Definitely 5/5 🙌 cool place as you can see on the video! Not crowded at all. They don’t have veggie options in the menu but can prepare for you vegetables stir fry 🤩🤩🤩 cool! Enormously tasty 🤤 jerk stir fry also very testy and portions are quite big - for hungry people 😎 worth coming one more time 60 dollars 💵 We’ve been there two times in the end as it is very good! 👌 chicken Wings also tasty

Beautiful location (like everywhere on the island really), serving a small focused menu which leads to quality results. When the chef brings out the dish you know they are proud of what they serve. The lobster poppers and jerk stir fry were a big hit in our group, but the surf and turf burger was phenomenal! I've been all over the world and this is one of the best burgers. And if you are lucky, you will be waited on by the beautiful and sweet Shaunda (sp?).
