Columbus Tavern

Frommer's Review

Far removed from the glitz and glamour of the casinos, the tavern seems relatively little known, even though Freddie Lightbourne of the Poop Deck restaurant has been running it for years now. It deserves to be discovered because it serves good food at reasonable (for Paradise Island) prices. The tavern has the typical nautical decor (don't come here for the setting), with tables placed both inside and outside overlooking the harbor. The bar is worth a visit in itself, with its long list of tropical drinks. You can go local by starting off with the conch chowder, or opt for cheese-stuffed mushrooms with foie gras. Even though it's imported frozen, the rack of lamb is flawless. You can also order tamarind chicken and a quite good filet of grouper with a tantalizing lobster and shrimp sauce.
