2. Bahama Breeze

There are only 40 Bahama Breezes in the entire nation, which is simply a crime.

Why?

Because this chain has developed a menu and atmosphere that few restaurants of its ilk can match up to. The name “Bahama Breeze” may bring up memories of a touristy restaurant, but this chain is not that at all. While bringing the island flavor to the mainland, Bahama Breeze has made it a point to keep the vibe chill and upscale, which has resulted in packed restaurants on the weekends and on Valentine’s Day, where these heavens on Earth will be dominated by couples.

Bahama Breeze specializes in Caribbean-inspired cuisine. From the chicken to the seafood, everything here is made with the tropics in mind. Oh, and don’t you dare forget about the drinks, which are some of the best offered from a chain.

Bahama Breeze was founded in 1996 in Orlando, and it grew from a mere tourist outlet into a small chain of upscale, tropical landscapes that have become a hit in every city it has touched down in. At its heart, Bahama Breeze is a touristy chain, but it doesn’t have the look or feel of one, and that’s its best attribute.

The food, the drinks, and the vibe are what makes visitors come back to this tropical oasis, though the chain could add a few more restaurants to its portfolio. It’s that good, and you will be hard pressed to find a better restaurant for Valentine’s Day than Bahama Breeze.
