    I think the best thing about Bayside is the jazz ensemble. Last night there was a singer doing popular songs accompanied by a pianist and a drummer. The next best thing is the food. My date had the rack of lamb. She let me have a taste and it was excellent as always. I usually get the lamb, but this time had the Duroc pork chop. This is my new favorite. The sauce was very nice. It didn't overwhelm, just a nice accompaniment. Oh, and complimentary valet parking.

    My husband had a chicken breast and it was great. I ordered a Crab Louie salad and it was large but I couldn’t find any pieces of crab or lobster. There were 3 shrimp but no sauce for it. The salad had lots of chunks of lettuce. It was very disappointing.

    We came here for Sunday brunch. They had live music and it wasn’t busy at all. The food was delicious. The chicken entree is incredible. So much flavor. I don’t normally order chicken but the lemon sauce on the menu was calling my name. So in all honesty you can hardly taste the lemon sauce, it’s pretty bland but who cares because the chicken and spinach is flavored so well.. 10 out of 10. Yum!

    Tonight was our first visit to Bayside after having found it in OpenTable. My family of 5 came for my birthday celebration. My parents are in their 80’s and very picky. They love it. There was a really good band playing throughout dinner. What a treat! I loved the wedge salad and my New York steak. My spouse’s pork chop was even better. We will definitely be back.

    Our first time, and we will definitely be back. Larry provided Exceptional service, was kind, made great recommendations, and was attentive to us. The other assistants were friendly … and the hot bread rolls and soft butter were over the top. An 11 on a scale of 1-10.

    We have eaten here twice. Both times we were served by Saro. Great services, takes the take to explain things to you. Great personality. He is the reason we will come back.
