NASSAU, Bahamas, Oct. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Baha Mar, the $3.5 billion integrated gaming resort opening in the Spring of 2015, is introducing the first four signature restaurants of its highly anticipated culinary experiences. The resort’s food and beverage selections complement an elite collection of hotel brands – The Baha Mar Casino & Hotel, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts®, Grand Hyatt and SLS LUX – as well as a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, and ESPA spa among other remarkable experiences.

Deuce, Katsuya, Brasserie des Arts, and Shuang Ba are part of the best in global cuisine curated through the 40 restaurants, bars and clubs at Baha Mar. They are the signature, bespoke experiences located at the heart of the resort: in and around the 100,000 sq ft Las Vegas-style Baha Mar Casino. Featuring 30-foot floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the clearest waters in the world, The Baha Mar Casino revolutionizes traditional casino design, and provides guests of these signature restaurants the choice of being steps away from the fast-paced energy of the casino floor, or retreating to quiet tables overlooking the breathtaking turquoise waters of The Bahamas.

“The selection of these restaurants as our signature offerings is very simple, they are my favorite from around the world. Baha Mar is about an authentic experience and our restaurants are no exception. Our guests can select from several options for dining from high-end to more casual fare,” said Sarkis Izmirlian, Baha Mar’s Chairman and CEO. “Deuce, Katsuya, Brasserie des Arts, and Shuang Ba will be centered around the most discerning guests’ needs. Whether delivering to players right at the Casino high limit rooms, or offering private dining rooms within the restaurants themselves, our mission is to ensure superior dining, world-class service, and authentic Bahamian charm.”

Deuce takes its name for being only the second location of Bone’s, the award-winning Atlanta steakhouse that has been providing the finest steaks and seafood since 1979. Long recognized as the best steakhouse in Atlanta, Bone’s is also ranked by Zagat Survey as highest in food and service of any steakhouse in America. In keeping with Baha Mar’s commitment to an elevated level of dining, as well as attentive, intuitive, world-class service, Deuce is a perfect choice.

Deuce consists of more than 350 seats and will be the largest restaurant at Baha Mar. In addition to private dining rooms, Deuce offers a superb dining experience in its beautifully crafted interior dining area, mezzanine and patio. The restaurant will feature interior designs by the celebrated Johnson Studio, an Atlanta-based architecture and design firm noted for creating extraordinary spaces that connect food to one-of-a-kind experiences.

Katsuya is an internationally renowned contemporary Asian restaurant that has been hailed for its innovative interpretations of classic Japanese cuisine and inventive cocktails. Katsuya has garnered a loyal following for its culinary offerings as well as its distinct, sleek, architectural designs by French design icon Philippe Stark. Widely known as a favorite of locals and celebrities alike in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, South Beach and Dubai, the 250-seat restaurant at Baha Mar will be home to Katsuya’s eighth location. This exciting restaurant, a signature dining experience at SLS hotels, is expected to attract celebrities and critics alike in search of the culinary artistry of Master Sushi Chef Katsuya Uechi.

Baha Mar will be home to the fourth location of Brasserie des Arts, the chic restaurant and lounge which is also found in São Paulo, Brazil and two locations in France – Megeve and Saint Tropez, where it was voted one of the best places to eat by Elle magazine. The 200-seat establishment will offer an authentic taste of fine French cuisine created by classically trained French chefs. Brasserie Des Arts will include indoor and outdoor seating extending to an elegant terrace overlooking the white-sand beach and a DJ for late night entertainment.

Shuang Ba takes guests on a journey of classic and modern Chinese cuisine in an elegant setting. Representing the figure 88, which signifies ‘double fortune’ in Chinese culture, Shuang Ba is designed to ensure good luck extends from this 88-seat restaurant to the casino floor. With sophisticated private dining salons draped in shades of rich woods, gold and jade, guests will be provided with exclusive experiences that will cater to every need prepared by our culinary team directly from China. The central dining salon features a grand liquor case in the shape of a Moon Gate, surrounded by warm wood elements and pops of red. Large circular dining tables give diners the view of a marvelous 30,000 pound hand-carved Chinese stone column, and traditional screens and artifacts sourced directly from China complete the exquisite setting.
