    What an awful night on Thanksgiving evening when our family (of only four) is supposed to be celebrating. I felt like our family was demoralized and treated extremely poorly with our seating situation, despite securing my reservations several weeks in advance. We were the only group in the entire restaurant seating on what looked like a makeshift table setup, with outdoor wicker patio furniture and seats that were not only uncomfortable, but far too low for the table. The table was also set way off in a corner so that we couldn't enjoy any of the ambiance of the restaurant. The host didn't show any kind of sympathy and didn't seem to want to provide any solutions. Fortunately, our waitress was more sympathetic and so this is not a critique on her. We didn't even have a manager to check on us when they finally swapped out the chairs 15 minutes later. I'm still in awe that a reservation made weeks in advance couldn't secure a spot on the INSIDE of the restaurant and that the manager pre-assigned our table to the outside and the worst possible location. Again, I'd like to reiterate that I have no complaints about the serving staff..they were accomadating. The food and cocktails were a 3 out of 5, so while it was fine, it didn't make up for the demoralizing experience. A truly regrettable Thanksgiving night at Bayside Restaurant.

    The restaurant was decorated beautifully and the service was exceptional. One of us does not eat meat, no problem! Her fish was delicious. I had the turkey dinner and it was also delicious. Can’t wait to go back!

    I have enjoyed Thanksgiving at this restaurant for several years now traditionally as a solo diner. This is the first year I was escorted to a barstool. I did not appreciate that so I will not be dining at this restaurant as a solo diner on a holiday without a table reservation again. The food and service and atmosphere decorations music by Ron Kobayashi and Company was spectacular and I actually am very grateful for two solo diners on both sides of my chair. It really made the afternoon special for me so maybe it was meant to be after all. Still love you
