    Our party of 3 enjoyed the calamari, and the iceberg wedge as appetizers…both were delicious. Then, 2 entrees of Chilean sea bass and 1 of sea scallops were brought out…the presentation was wonderful, and the taste was just superb! Another seafood home run at Beyond the Sea! You will find the prices to be steep, but you just can’t find a seafood meal of this quality anywhere nearby.

    The food was excellent. The service was a little slow, but waitress and bartender were very friendly. The owner stopped by our table to check on us. We would return when in Bolton Landing again.

    Julia the server was excellent. I had the cioppino soup and it was the best I’ve ever had hands-down! One of the Bellman at the Sagamore recommended it and I’m glad that he did. We had a wonderful time.

    This restaurant was recommended to us and we were so impressed. Skylar, the hostess, greeted us as if we were family; she was super friendly and welcoming. Our server, Julia, was knowledgeable and gracious. Her wine recommendation was perfect. Melissa, the GM and David, the owner, each came to check on us. The ambiance is cozy and very comfortable. The tiny lights add to the atmosphere. I started with the Burrata Genoa salad and had the Halibut special as my entree. My husband had the Tomato soup for his starter and enjoyed the Maine lobster stuffed ravioli dish! The food was so delicious! Everything was perfectly prepared and elegantly presented! Fabulous dining experience!!

    Fantastic service and food! We chose this restaurant based on the reviews and were not disappointed! Every dish was excellent - we selected the Buratta, lobster ravioli and the sea bass and shared them. All were delicious. Rayon was our server and he made sure we were well taken care of. I would come back here again and again- a true gem!! Oh and we loved the music!!

    The hostess refused to give us one of the 4 (!)empty tables and instead sat us in a doorway near the fire extinguisher. Only when we were done with our food the other 2 tables got occupied. Food was just average with some dishes( soup) barely warm.

    Food was very impressive! Presentation and plate selection was very well thought out. The tastes blew us away. Everything we ate was wonderful and tasted different. The scallops were special. Also had Chilean Sea Bass, soup special and tuna tartar. Would easily eat that entire meal again. One of the best meals we had in the area. They definitely have made an effort for an elevated food experience. And it’s family run! Right in the middle of town so easy to walk to shops before or after. Highly recommend!

    The food was so amazing, the surf and turf I highly suggest, everything was so delicious. As was the service and overall ambience. Our server Skylar was amazing and consistently checking in on us. We were seated out front which at first I thought was going to be loud but was not. I loved seeing people walking by and the music they had at the restaurant was perfect. Overall wonderful experience and I will definitely be back soon.

    Plenty of free parking within walking distance. Welcoming, pleasant and accommodating staff. Indoor and outdoor dining options. Varied and appealing menus starting with cocktails thru entrees. Well made, delicious meals. Only negative would be size of appetizers / starters were on smaller size for price point.

    Amazing wait staff and bussing. Our child’s chicken tenders were not cooked through properly (totally raw inside) and wait staff managed quickly and apologetically. The burrata appetizer was ok, toast was stale and not overly flavorful. The shrimp and corn salad was overly sweet and overly dressed. The shrimp was completely over cooked. The fries were awesome. The poppy seed crusted tuna was good, the rice really not great. The jalapeño corn bread in the salmon dish was good, but the overall dish was just ok. We skipped dessert.

    We were immediately greeted and seated on the outdoor patio. Our waiter quickly arrived to offer drinks. We started with the buratta appetizer which was beautifully presented and equally delicious. I had the salmon which was perfectly prepared and accompanied by a delicious blend of puréed and diced vegetables. My husband enjoyed his tuna dish as well. The key lime pie was smooth and flavorful. A definite winner all around. Best meal of our vacation.
