Fodor's Review:

The decor tends toward the nautical, with hurricane lamps and brass rails, in this narrow third-floor dining room looking out to Nassau on one side and Atlantis to the other. Choose from simply prepared dishes such as broiled Bahamian lobster tail or grouper, or fancier selections such as almond-fried shrimp and stuffed grouper au gratin.

Wow! This place is excellent. Great seafood in a relaxed, older-Nassau atmosphere. Don't eat here if you're in a rush cos it's all cooked to order. Try the lobster or stuffed grouper and you'll be very satisfied. Breakfast is also very reasonable here.

My wife and I ate here and loved it. Reminded us of how fine dining used to be, taking your time and eating freshly prepared seafood. Staff was deliberate but very professional, so don't come here if you want to be in and out in 20 minutes like an Atlantis restaurant. Excellent experience, will definitely go back.

My family ate here on New Year's Eve and had a ball. Live music in the lounge while we waited for our table, party favors, fireworks at midnight..it was great! The food here is exceptional and our party of 8 had fish, other seafood dishes and a steak and we all complimented the chef. Not that expensive for Paradise Island and well worth an evening's dining $. We also had a good breakfast on Saturday (try the blueberry pancakes).

I laughed when I read the review about this restaurant having no atmosphere (they can't all be Chucky Cheese). It reminded my husband of a James Bond- type plce (Roger Moore not Daniel craig) with its teakwood, nautical furnishings and low light. It is NOT Hard Rock Cafe, it's fine dining at a relaxed pace.
The waitstaff is very attentive and the maitre d's (Mr's. Fowler and Dean) hovered to make sure we were very happy. The meal took a while but it's cooked to order so that was OK. The lobster thermidor was very tasty and my husband's stuffed grouper was cheesy and very flavorful. We also had escargots and crab claws for an appetizer, as well as an amazing carrot cake that we shared. We loved the Blue Lagoon, located on the top floor of Club Land'or beside Atlantis. It reminded us of why we go on vacation to begin with...to relax. We will happily return!

My husband and I went here on our trip to Paradise Island based on reviews and we were very disappointed. The gentleman who said it was like fine dining at the old folks home hit the nail on the head. It was so boring, and quiet, and really lacked charm. The food was average at best and the prices were still high. I say try somewhere else, this place was snooze city.

My wife, daughter and I ate here in April 2008 and totally enjoyed ourselves. The food is excellent and the service, while deliberate, was very attentive. They even sang Happy Birthday to my daughter (totally embarrassing the 16 yr old!). Loved the crab claws, shrimp cocktail; they had a great lobster thermidor. We will definitely be back!

Blue Lagoon Restaurant has an old world feel to it, reminiscent of the days when tourists to the islands wore dinner jackets. The food and service is outstanding; my party of seven had nothing but compliments for the various items were had for dinner, from stone crab claws to lobster to steak. The waiter even brought us Nassau Royale to finish the meal. I rate this restaurant very highly and recommend it to anyone.

A local in Nassau recommended that I try the Blue Lagoon Restaurant located in Club Land'or. The food was great and reasonably priced for being in such a worldclass vacation area. The service was excellent and we didn't lack for anything. My filet was great, her grouper received high praise as well. Definitely try this one!

My husband and I had dinner here while visiting the Bahamas, the food was to die for! My husband had the filet minion, you could have cut it with a fork!!! I have the shrimp alfrado, it was faboulous! You must check this place out if you’re in the area!

My husband, son and I ate at the Blue Lagoon Restaurant at Club Land'or on Paradise Island and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were not rushed, and any special request we had was happily attended to (such as them heating my vichysoisse). The restaurant has an older, elegant feel to it, so if you want a loud joint with stuff on the walls go downtown to Hard Rock. We MUCH prefer this place and its wonderful Bahamian dishes, such as Grouper Amandine and great fresh lobster. We will definitely return and highly recommend the Blue Lagoon to anyone, whether celebrating an anniversary or other special occasion or just wanting a first class dining experience!

When our meals finally came it was fairly good, my wife and I both had the surf and turf.

The service and atmosphere require explanation for anyone expecting a fine dining experience. To be honest the restaurant feels like the fine dining night at any old folks home that you have ever been to.

As long as you are OK with that or even like that the food as we said was pretty good...just know what your getting in to.

Husband, 12 year old and myself all love the food at this restaurant at Club Land'or on Paradise Island. Breakfast is delicious (blueberry pancakes) and reasonable, while the dinner menu is wonderful. Some of our favorites included steak au poivre, Chicken Eleuthera and a grilled tuna we had as a catch of the day. The service is very attentive and pleasant and we were not rushed like we were in the Atlantis restaurants. We will definitely eat here on our next trip to Nassau!
