    Great food in a great location. This restaurant consistently serves up great food every time. Whilst not the cheapest you get value for money. Attentive service for the servers makes this a totally complete experience.

    While I love the concept and ambiance...the bar is way too slow. And the prices for locals is way too high for what you get. $52 for Sea bass....no thank you

    My second visit one year since my initial visit offered similar results. The restaurant offers a nice venue for dining including outdoor seating in the shade. The menu has delicious options including cornbread, Whipped Feta which is having a moment and one vegetarian entree which is a pasta with mushrooms. The only hesitation is the inconsistent service. We counted 4 servers (one person per table) handling outside tables yet trying to order drinks, place our order, obtain cutlery to eat the food that has been delivered (should the food runner take a moment to confirm the customers have tools to eat with?) Once the check was dropped we were left alone on the deck until darkness forced us indoors. My first visit featured similar disconnects like sitting at the bar but challenged to place a drink order. In fairness my experiences maybe different than others. Go for the food and hope service brings their A game!

    well for the price for the lobster tails was a little heavy.i would think you would serve butter instead of butter oil.thats bad,the lobster was tough and very chewy.dont think i.ll do another trip there again. we need a nice restaurant here in this area, but seems we will never get one,dont want to sound harsh but i wont refer anybody there.

    The grouper was very fishy, and my friends didn’t even eat theirs. I doused mine with tartar sauce. We love the view from the patio and enjoyed it very much with the exception of the lawnmowers and boat launchers. It is a very pretty place, and the service is excellent. We had appetizers and dinner the week before and everything was good.

    I visit the Crystal River area several times a year. It is so nice to finally have an upper scale restaurant with upper scale cuisine. Bayside Kraft Kitchen is a must if you are wanting great food, great service and a nice atmosphere.
