Just east of the bridge from Paradise Island and a quick cab ride from the center of town is this favorite local haunt. You can scan the vista of the Bahamas' largest marina from breezy tables on the large waterfront deck. The restaurant's popularity has resulted in a second Poop Deck on Cable Beach's west end, but for residents, this is still the place. Expect spicy dishes with names such as Mama Mary's steamed fish and Rosie's chicken; there's also an extensive wine list. Start with Paula's Conch Fritters and splurge on the Surf and Turf. Save room for guava duff and a calypso coffee spiked with secret ingredients.

We went here with a group of 10 on our first night in Nassau. It was casual, fun, and lovely. We had a table out on the deck overlooking the yacht harbor. The food was very good. It was the first time several of our friends had enjoyed Bahamian Peas 'n Rice. This was the most economical dinner we had in the Bahamas ($70 for 2). I had a Bahamian Chicken dish. My wife had the Mahi Mahi (I think it was called "Mama's Bahamian Fish"). Service was very good. We had a great table.
