    We were pleasantly impressed, the service and food were great! The mussels are local, yum! The salmon was cooked to perfection and the presentation was excellent, the crab stuffed filet was delicious, the spinich and the puréed beets were excellent too. The vegetables were tasty, but a little overcooked for my liking, I like al dente. The desserts are delicious too. Our server Jessica gave us wonderful service.

    I'm struggling to write this review as we had good food and good service. We were a bit taken aback about the dining room when we arrived and almost left. It left us both with an odd feeling; kind of like an afterthought with the chairs and tables. The room is in serious need of a remodel and is dark and dank. The food, however, was quite good. I had a nice piece of swordfish with a medley of veg. Waiter was very attentive and the manager stopped by to see if we need anything. I would encourage you to try it and not be put off by the atmosphere. You can request a window table so you have a view of the water.

    $58 crab stuff steak. Do not go big, go home and make your own steak because this was not a fillet mignon. Taste more like a choice cut from Walmart. Mashed potatoes, focaccia and veggies were delicious. Two stars out of five.

    Very nice. Food was much better than expected. Our server, Tim, was friendly, efficient and knew when to approach and when not to. The food was well timed and evenly spaced. Food itself was delicious! Will definitely come again!

    We went to Bay View for the first time during Restaurant Week. We immediately noticed that while there were many tables full, it wasn't noisy, a plus for us to make it easier to chat among our group. We had excellent service, pleasant staff and the food was delicious. Added bonus is the views of the bay. We are anxious to go back and check out dishes from the regular menu!
