    The food was delectable and the service was friendly and fast! It’s like an old supper club for special family events or couples. We were hoping for better, jazzy music. The holiday decor was really nice.

    Checking in at the front desk 2:30 (we had a reservation) there were several tables open... The hostess went to seat us in the last booth by the back door - we asked for one of the other 4 tops that were open and her response "those are for reservations - on days like today we don't have options." We have been dining here for several years on special occasions or holidays - everyone always dresses nicely... Her response made my parents feel like we weren't worthy of sitting to the front of the restaurant. On to our meal - our server was FANTASTIC! I wish I had our receipt to share his name (sorry). Appetizers were really good; ahi tartar, beet salad, and a crab cake - all were very good and items we have had before. I ordered a la carte - seabass was amazing :) My parents both had the turkey dinner; their food was luke warm at best. They both agreed the stuffing was lacking any flavor and seasonings - they didn't eat it. My dad had a nice assortment of veggies, but my mom only had some undercooked root veg (not sure what it was - it was purple). Both thought the desserts were really good. Latte's were good, but espresso was very mild almost like it was from a pre-portioned pod. They use to serve La Vazza Super Crema it didn't taste like the same espresso.

    Nice atmosphere, piano music and good food. Only knock was service. Mostly good, but our waiter Jorge tried to pitch us twice on the venison and was a little to chatty with the host while we waited for the check. They also failed to acknowledge a birthday after being notified in advance for past two years.

    We had reservations at 6 pm. Our food took over an hour and 1/2 . We were told there was a big party. Nothing was offered. Server never asked if there was anything we needed and made excuse for poor service. Been coming to Bayside for years. Worst service we ever had. At least dessert could have been offered !

    Went in for Brunch. They had a guitar player in the dining room. Very nice background music. Larry was the server, OUTSTANDING service. Made great recommendations and had a wonderful personality. We started with the calamari and then the benedict and the lobster sandwich. All top notch. Tasty and plated well. Will be back for dinner, soon!

Service was excellent, our server Vanessa made us feel welcome and gave us plenty of suggestions on the menu. Valet personnel as well as everyone tending our table were courteous and friendly. The seating outside is beautiful and the food was superb. We look forward to visit again.

    While I’ve seen the restaurant name for decades, I’ve never eaten here until last night. The food was great and the music was amazing. Very pleasant and we will certainly return.
