Marcus specializes in steaks and super-fresh, and often locally caught, seafood. Starters range from Bahamian conch salad and tuna tartare to a seafood cake and conch fritters. But their seafood tower is a great option for diners who may have difficulty choosing just one item, and it offers a selection of fresh oysters, shrimp, crab and more. Main course options include wood-fire grilled meats as well as specialty dishes like the Fried Yard Bird served with creamed kale, sweet potato mash, sour orange hot honey and piri piri, or the tamarind-glazed half chicken.
Many diners may find themselves full after a delicious meal of corn bread, shrimp and grits or cocktails like the vodka-, grapefruit- and elderflower-infused “Rake 'N Scrape,” but it is highly recommended to save room for dessert. The “Sunday AF” is a mammoth portion of ice cream, freshly made donuts and other toppings that is perfect for sharing.

Chef Marcus Samuelsson’s second restaurant at the Baha Mar Resort, Streetbird, is located in a beachfront food truck and offers a simple menu with big flavor. Their top menu item, the Crispy Bird Sandwich, has a juicy chicken fillet topped with hot pepper mayo and a bit of a kick! Other menu items include Escovitch Chicken and Plantain Waffles, conch and salted cod fritters, jerk sticky wings, buffalo cauliflower and finally, sweet potato doughnuts for dessert. In addition to ice-cold beers, Streetbird also serves a “Yes Chef” cocktail, which packs a punch of vodka, fresh mint, ginger, honey, lemon and berbere spice.
