Frommer's Review

With its tables usually occupied by local government officials and deal makers, Luciano's is the grande dame of Freeport restaurants, with a very European atmosphere. It's the only restaurant in Port Lucaya offering caviar, foie gras, and oysters Rockefeller, all served with a flourish by a formally dressed waitstaff (who, fortunately, have a very definite sense of charm and humor). There's a bar inside and elegantly decorated tables set in the kind of socially correct dining rooms you might find in Paris. Additional seating on a breezy upstairs veranda overlooks the marina. Lightly smoked and thinly sliced salmon makes a good opener, as does a seafood crepe or snails in garlic butter. Fresh fish and shellfish are regularly featured and delicately prepared, allowing their natural flavors to shine through without heavy, overwhelming sauces. A good example includes local grouper topped with toasted almonds and a lemon-flavored butter sauce, or broiled Bahamian lobster tail. Steak Diane is one of Luciano's classics, along with an especially delectable veal medallion sautéed with shrimp and chunks of lobster.
