    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.

    If you’ve been here before, you already know what a gem Bayside is. If you’ve never been, put Bayside on your list. The food is above delicious. The service is friendly and professional, and if you go when there’s a live band, that’s just the added treat. Enjoy! Our server, Brittany, did great with her recommendations and service. Thank you.

    Overall good! Not sure why hostess didn't see my request to be seated in the "terrace" area. Tried to seat us inside but after I requested she took us outside. Seated us in side patio NOT overlooking the marina area although many tables were open there until after we finished our early dinner. Went there for the views but didn't get any :( Food was good. Budino dessert was amazing. Might be back again if seated in a nice table at the Terrace.

    Food was nothing to write home about, both our meals, Seabass & Filet came out barely warm. Seabass was really bland 2 Male managers walking around but never checking on the guest's , Won't be going back.
