The Spirit Table

Under soft candlelight, guests sit along one long, beautifully set table for an unforgettable farm and ocean-to-table celebration of Bahamian terroir. The gentle strum of an acoustic guitar fills the night air as laughter and conversation mingle with the clink of glasses. Hand-shaken JOHN WATLING’S Daiquirís and estate grown mint-infused Mojitos open the evening, while an open bar featuring The Rum of The Bahamas throughout the evening keeps spirits high. Each course showcases the islands’ bounty — golden Andros conch croquettes, crystalline Eleuthera soursop sorbet, vibrant Exuma ceviche, and a rich Abaco stone crab feast. The night ends with a lush Eleuthera key lime pie, its torched meringue glowing like the last embers of a perfect Bahamian evening.

STEP 1
COCKTAILS & MUSIC

Guests enjoy the gentle strum of acoustic guitar music that fills the air with classic Bahamian melodies, setting a warm, rhythmic tone for an evening of flavour, laughter, and island spirit.

STEP 2
ANDROS CONCH CROQUETTES
Guests savour golden croquettes of tender Andros conch folded into a Cuban-style béchamel infused with island herbs and sweet peppers, kissed with a hint of Scotch bonnet heat, rolled in breadcrumbs, fried to a delicate crisp, and served with a bright cilantro emulsion.
STEP 3
ELEUTHERA SOURSOP SORBET

Guests delight in a crystalline soursop sorbet, slow-churned and flash-frozen to capture its floral perfume and gentle acidity — hand-crafted from the orchards of Eleuthera and lifted with a touch of fresh island lime.

STEP 4
EXUMA CEVICHE
Guests relish a vibrant Peruvian-style ceviche of Exuma prawns, Nassau grouper, and Andros spiny lobster — delicately cured in fresh lime juice and sea salt, tossed with tomato, red onion, and a touch of chilli, and served with crisp plantain chips for earthy contrast.
Step 5
ABACO STONE CRAB FEAST
Guests indulge in chilled Abaco stone crab claws, cracked by hand and paired with a Joe’s-style mustard sauce — a nod to the enduring culinary dialogue between Miami and The Bahamas — served alongside sweet plantain mofongo topped with tiny shrimp in a Creole sauce.
Step 6
ELEUTHERA KEY LIME PIE
Guests end the evening with a tropical reimagining of the classic dessert — smooth lime custard bursting with the tang of fresh island limes, nestled in a graham cracker crust and crowned with torched meringue.
