Dune - The One & Only Ocean Club

To celebrate the end of summer, the welcoming of the fall season, and most importantly, our wedding anniversary, my husband and I headed to Atlantis Paradise Island for the long Labor Day weekend.  During our stay, we enjoyed many nights of good eats however, saved the best for last.  We ventured to the  One & Only Ocean Club to dine at the world famous restaurant, Dune.  Dune serves an innovative blend of French-Asian cuisine infused with local herbs and Bahamian influences.

After we devoured our main course, I was excited to dive right into the dessert menu.  My husband opted for sorbet of the following choices:  Passion Mango, Soursop, and Bahama-Mama.  I am very familiar with Passion Mango and Bahama-Mama flavors however was interested to learn more about Soursop.  I learned that Soursop is a broadleaf, flowering, evergreen tree native to the Caribbean area.  Its flavor is described as a combination of strawberry and pineapple with sour citrus flavor notes.
I ordered the lemon kiwi pie with Bahama-Mama sorbet.  It tasted similar to key lime pie with a much more sour tone to it.  Bahama-Mama sorbet was an iced version of the famous Caribbean cocktail.
Both of these desserts were absolutely off the charts.  I rate both plates five out of five ice cream cones.  If you have the opportunity to visit the Bahamas, I highly suggest a night at Dune for the ambiance, impeccable service, amazing ocean views, delicious food, and off the charts dessert.
