Our Story

Soulhouse Supper Club was born from friendship, creativity, and a shared love for food and culture. Co-founders Regina R. Smith and Chef Rome’ha Forbes first connected through their passion for hospitality, tourism, and the culinary arts. With Regina’s strength in concept development, operations, and guest experience, and Chef Forbes’ mastery of bold flavors and refined culinary technique, the two discovered a natural partnership.

 

Together, they envisioned SoulHouse as more than a dinner, it would be an intimate experience where strangers become friends, stories are shared, and every dish celebrates the richness of Bahamian culture. Their combined backgrounds in tourism, entrepreneurship, and fine dining have allowed them to create a space where food, creativity, and community meet around one unforgettable table.
