Ferry House

Frommer's Review

This restaurant serves the most celebrated, the most elaborate, and the most "fussed-over" cuisine on Grand Bahama Island. Much of its excellence derives from the hard work and talent of its Iceland-born owner. Designed to look like the mostly brown interior of a wood-trimmed ferryboat, it faces the ocean, just at the edge of Bell Channel, the waterway that funnels boats from the open sea into the sheltered confines of the Port Lucaya Marina. Lunches are relatively simple affairs, consisting of pastas, catch of the day, and meal-size salads. Dinner might feature a seafood platter laden with calamari, fish, and shrimp; a delectable filet mignon with potatoes and vegetables; fresh salmon with hollandaise sauce; and savory grilled rack of New Zealand lamb. But our favorite meal here is the seared yellow-fin tuna steak with vegetable couscous. Many of the herbs used here are grown in the restaurant's own garden. Dessert might include a melt-in-your-mouth version of chocolate cake, one of the best we've ever tasted. Since they're baked to order, make your request 15 minutes in advance.
