Fodor's Review:
A meal at this hillside mansion begins in the elegant parlor, where, over live piano music, drinks are served and orders are taken. It's a rarefied world, where waiters wear tuxedos and Cuban cigars and cognac are served after dinner. When your appetizer is ready, you're escorted into one of several dining rooms. Graycliff's signature dishes include roast rack of lamb and the thermidor-style Lobster Graycliff. Prices are no higher than other top-notch Nassau restaurants -- except for wine: the cellar contains more than 200,000 bottles that have been handpicked by owner Enrico Garzaroli, some running into the tens of thousands of dollars. You can even buy the world's oldest bottle of wine, a German vintage 1727, for $200,000.

Member Reviews & Ratings:
great dining experience
Posted by bleu from Athens, Ga on 2/6/08
We have visited Graycliff twice and each time were impressed with the atmosphere, the food and the service, which is a bit on the slow side and so typical Bahamian.
If you are used to the fast pace of American Restaurants and want the same, don't go to Graycliff. From listening to the piano with a drink in your hand, being escorted into your dining room where you can smell the flowers through the open windows, starting your first course, it's all like a performance and you are the star.
We are going back, soon, and it will be another memorable evening with friends at Graycliff for dinner.
