The food today (Father's Day) wasn't up to the usual standard. My meal was barely luke warm when it arrived and the toast was cold and hard. My dining companions were happy with their meals and it was obvious they'd all just been freshly prepared whereas my meal had been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the others. Very disappointing.

I had scallops and Prawn Linguine and it was very salty, but other than that everything was awesome as usual.

Reservation was for 6:30. With apologies, we were seated at 6:45. The restaurant had run out of scallops and no gyoza by that time. . Our dinner was very good and our service was as best as our server could manage. The restaurant was very busy.

One of our usual spots for a special occassion. Good food, great view, good service. Unfortunately the singer was a bit out of tune. We prefer the non-vocal guitarists we've heard here in the past. Don't let this put you off a very good dining experience...

Thank you for your continued support and for celebrating special occasions with us—it means a lot. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food, service, and view. We appreciate the honest feedback about the live music and will be sure to pass it along. We’re always working to create the best possible atmosphere, and your input helps guide that. Looking forward to welcoming you back again soon!

The Bayside has been our favourite special occasion spot for a long time. We were rather disappointed on Friday when we went there with our visiting family as a last special dinner before they left today. The service was definitely not up to your usual. Our server pretty well disappeared. The food runners seemed like it was perhaps their first day on the job. No one came to ask if our meals were satisfactory….we had to ask for water refills, pasta spoons, etc. These items are usually automatic. My prawn and scallop fettuccini was too salty and barely warm when it arrived. The serving size of your chicken supreme for my son in law appeared to be much smaller than usual…..also served lukewarm. Over all, for the prices charged, it just wasn’t good enough and for the first time ever, I left only a ten percent gratuity. Sad to see your usually excellent service fail so miserably.

Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. We're genuinely sorry to hear that your recent visit didn’t reflect the high standard you’ve come to expect from us. Special occasion dinners with family should feel effortless and memorable for the right reasons, and it’s clear we missed the mark. Your comments about the service and food temperature are being shared with our team, as this isn’t the experience we aim to provide. We value your longtime support and hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back and restore your confidence in us.

4 friends met for appies and a drink. Service was perfect- the waitress seemed just show up When we needed her and did not “Hover”. Food was reasonably priced for Happy Hour, and was tasty.

The food and restaurant were excellent. Although we had requested a window seat, we were very near a window with a nice view of the ocean. The only issue was that our server was very new to the restaurant so there were often waits for service. All 4 menus were never picked up and remained near my place setting. There was a very large group of young people and it was somewhat noisy. Overall a great restaurant.

Hi Sue, thanks for the honest feedback. We will take this to our restaurant manager and strive for that higher standard we want to achieve. We hope to have a chance to host you again.
