    I came there with a teenager who was interested to listen to the live music we made our reservation for 5 o’clock as it said on the poster that the music began at 5 o’clock till 830. We arrived on time for a 5 o’clock reservation and we watched patiently the gentleman Setting up grabbing a drink tuning his guitar till almost 6 o’clock with yet no music. I expressed my disappointment to the waiter who told me that he often doesn’t start till 6 o’clock, and I suggested that this should be reflected on the website as it is deceiving, especially when people wanna show up early before the big crowd arrives to catch a little live music . I left with a very disappointed teenager who didn’t even get to listen to live music. We ordered two appetizers at 5 o’clock when we arrived. Ate it and left at 6 o’clock with no music.

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I’m sorry for the miscommunication regarding the live music start time and the disappointment it caused you and your teenager. While our music is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m., it seems there was a delay that evening, and we apologize for not meeting your expectations. Your feedback is valuable, and we will ensure our communication reflects accurate timing moving forward. I hope we can welcome you back soon for a better experience and a chance to enjoy the live music as planned.

    Really good food! We were a table of four and everyone really enjoyed everything. I had the scallop and prawn linguine and it was perfect. Our server was excellent. She was informed, personable, and attentive. Great experience all around.

    The service was mediocre at best. The food was decent, but not spectacular for those prices.

    Another great food and service experience at the Bayside, for lunch, with visitors from Ontario, who were very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed it. My visitors were awestruck at the stunning ocean views from the restaurant.
