THE 3 Tides Fish House at the Grand Hyatt in Baha Mar attracted more than 100 guests to its grand opening on April 5.

The 220-seat restaurant is the 24th to open at the $4.2 billion project. Brent Martin, executive chef at the Grand Hyatt, said: "I think 3 Tides is going to bring a whole different ball game to the Baha Mar. It's a little bit more approachable then the other restaurants - this one really speaks to families. It's really about simplistic food and it's a great seafood house.

"We are bringing a lot of local seafood, but also what is international. Seeing what is happening in all the restaurants, we have been fully booked and it is obviously great to see. All of the restaurants are great options for tourists but also for Bahamians."

Travis Robinson, parliamentary secretary in the Ministry of Tourism and Aviation, added: "About 70 per cent of the tourists who come here come for sun, sand and sea, but among that is our cuisine.

"So it is exciting for guests to see what we have to offer. One of the things that I took note of was Bahamian chefs who were out there preparing the food, and so I think that this was a direct opportunity for guests to taste what we call true Bahamian cuisine.

"I'm excited for what this restaurant will offer, what this resort will offer, and this will only help to grow and boost our tourism product."

3 Tides features a raw bar, modern sushi and sashimi dishes and a variety of surf and turf options. Diners can also choose from hot, cold and interactive desserts.
