Bahama Breeze, the popular chain restaurant specializing in Caribbean inspired food, drinks and atmosphere, will be closing or converting all remaining locations after 30 years of operation.

Darden Restaurants Inc., parent company of the Caribbean chain, as well as Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse and seven others, confirmed it will close 14 of the 28 remaining Bahama Breeze locations by April 5, 2026, and convert the remaining 14 over the next 12-18 months, in a statement shared in a news release.

"Darden Restaurants, Inc. today announced that it has completed its exploration of strategic alternatives for Bahama Breeze," the company said.
