Bahama Breeze

Bahama Breeze is an American restaurant chain owned by Darden Restaurants, specializing in Caribbean-inspired seafood, chicken, steaks, and tropical drinks. Founded in 1996 by Darden Restaurants, its first location opened in Orlando, Florida on International Drive. As of April 2014, there were 43 Bahama Breeze locations in the United States. Most locations are in suburban retail districts and tourist areas, and about half of the locations are in Florida.

In May 2025, 15 restaurants were closed, including all locations in New York, Nevada, Massachusetts, and Tennessee, with some Florida locations and all but one New Jersey location closing, leaving 29 locations. In June 2025, Darden planned to close, sell, or rebrand the remaining 29 locations, citing a lack of "strategic priority." In February 2026, it was announced that all locations will close by April 5 of that year, following struggling inflation and decline. Ultimately, some locations closed on that date, while others, primarily in Florida, will remain open for conversion.
