    Good location with excellent beach views at the windows. Needs soft furnishings, as can be very loud with a crowd in.

    I was expecting an elaborate Mother’s Day brunch like the brunch I remember as a child when I went to the bayside. I remember this place being the nicest place out there but the food was terrible there were about 7 warming trays with lids and dry roast beef station and a basic dessert station. When we got there everything was eaten or almost empty. Salad dressing were empty even the syrup was empty. None of us ate. I hate 2 small plates and I couldn’t each much of anything. We couldn’t even cut through an English muffin it was hard! everyone at our table felt the same way. The price was insane I think it was 52$ an adult I’m pretty sure I ate 5$ worth of food. There really wasn’t much of selection I will never ever go back to bayside. And I would not recommend it. Man this place has gone down hill. The table was super basic too just cutlery and a napkin, you’d think for that kind of money at least they’d put a table cloth on it.

    Had a reservation…waited 15 min to be seated (was not busy). 2/6 meals sent back -eggs were cold. Not lukewarm , but cold. Asked for no cheese in omelette …yes there’s cheese . Asked for ketchup for hash browns…never came. Had to ask for jam to compliment the 3 orders of toast. Order of pancakes for $13 was tiny. The food quality was good , once problems were rectified. Staff was trying hard, just inexperienced and disorganized .

    Nice view, polite service. Quite slow to get food. With meals - pasta - were surprisingly bland, given what was in the dishes. Definitely on the expensive side. Good wine selection

    The food was perfect, the view is outstanding, and the service was great. It was pretty noisy, but all in all, it was a perfect evening.

    We celebrated my Opa's 90th birthday at Bayside tonight, and it was a truly memorable experience. The food was excellent, and the background music was at the perfect volume, creating a lovely atmosphere. Thank you for helping us make his special day so wonderful!
