Bayside RestaurantGreat!Although the menu was the same, I think there is a new chef because it was prepared better. The food is very good and a great atmosphere.

The choice of bread pudding dessert was not as exciting due to blandness and dense and dry consistency. Ambience pleasant. Must be a secret find as every table in both the dining room and the bar side were full. We will return with the family next time.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent experienceGreat lunch experience.

My friend said her sea bass was the best thing she'd had to eat in a long time. Could do with a few more interesting vegetarian options, but most enjoyable.3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMI had the Chilean Sea BassI had the Chilean Sea Bass and my wife had the scallops and both were excellent. The taste and presentation were superb. We definitely would go back and recommend it to our friends.3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMA Consistent Gem of a RestaurantWe had forgotten how consistenly great this restaurant is! The bar area is too noisy for our dining enjoyment, but the main dining room is just fine. The presentation of all dishes is gorgeous, which definitely adds to the overall dining experience. The ahi tuna appetizer is fabulous and ample for sharing. Two of us had the filet mignon, which was cooked to perfection. Another had the scallops, which were delicious and also beautifully presented. Although we made no mention of a birthday, when it became obvious we were celebrating, our server presented the "birthday boy" with a complementary "signature dish" chocolate souffle cake and ice cream. A VERY nice touch. Bayside is back in our regular rotation of favorite restaurants.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMNever enough good things toNever enough good things to say about this consistently wonderful restaurant.2/1/2013 12:00:00 AMConsistently wonderful.
