    Dining at Bayside was a pleasant experience and would become a favorite go-to if we were from the area. Our waitress, Stephanie, was very attentive and made knowledgeable menu suggestions. We ordered the Pre Fixe selections of a ribeye and Chilean sea bass. The food was very well prepared and delicious. Live piano/vocalist provided background music.

    Had a lovely experience here. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Our dishes were well-prepared and thoughtfully presented, with flavors that felt both classic and refined. It’s clear they care about the details. Would definitely come back for another meal.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants. When my son and his family visit from Portland Oregon they always request that we dine there. We always request that Mauvie be our server because he is so attentive and entertaining! Food was exceptional. Sea bass was cooked to perfection! My grandson said it was the best steak he had ever had! Their vegetable lemon risotto was amazing. Definitely an experience to remember!

    My wife and I had a delightful experience dining at Bayside. The owner Marc Ghoukassian has a superb restaurant. The venue was lovely. Views of the water. Open design. Our server Saro had been with Bayside for 20 years. Professional, personable and knowledgeable. Based on his suggestions, Maggie had the Chilian Sea Bass and I had the Paella. Both were excellent. I would highly recommend Bayside for a wonderful dinner experience.

    A fantastic early dinner with friends. The food was spectacular. Service top-notch. My suggestion for you is if you dine early before sunset, do not sit by the windows. Even with the shades down it is blinding and hot temperatures. We were shielding our eyes and sweating away during our main course. Just sit in the middle of the restaurant to avoid any discomfort.

    Always a great place to meet up with friends. Service is exceptional ( Thanks Saro). Ambiance is great ( love the patio area). Only suggestion I would have is to shake up the menu a little. Create more variety and options. The food you serve is fine. I’d just like more choices.

    Party of 6 had a great dinner experience on Friday night! Ambiance/decor is very inviting and live jazz music was a treat! Our waiter was great, very welcoming and also efficient on a busy Friday night. All the food was great, some highlights being the sea bass and rack of lamb.
