Don't waste your time, stomach or money

We were excited to enjoy a nice evening at the only 5 star restaurant in the Bahamas. Where to even begin....first, for a restaurant which is known for its wine, they didn't any of the bottles we wanted available. Eventually, we just asked the sommelier for two glasses of wine. You'd think, after a discussion about wine, he would come back and tell us what he was bringing us. Instead, a waiter just brought us two half full glasses and didn't bother to mention what we were drinking. Our entrees, aged steak and a lobster tail, were both overcooked. The steak was supposed to be medium rare, it was closer to well done. The lobster tail was chewy and lacked any kind of flavor. When you're paying $50 for a piece of steak or lobster, the expectation is that it will at least be cooked correctly, let alone with some flavor.When it came time for us to pay the bill, it took them over an HOUR. They first said the credit card didn't work. Then after giving them a different credit card, they said the credit card machine wasn't working (after 45 minutes of us just waiting with NO ONE telling us what the wait was). Eventually, after we had to go find a waiter (any waiter, mind you), they told us they'd have to just do it manually. They couldn't have done that earlier? We should have just walked out without paying. As if that wasn't enough, one of our party was ill from the food for the next 48 hours. Overall, we dropped nearly $300 on a forgettable, mediocre and illness-inducing meal. Never again.
