    Blue cheese olives was not blue cheese. The sashimi app did not come with wasabi caviar or soy…they ran out. Lobster bisque didn’t seem like real lobster. The filet was amazing but 3 different styles of potatoes? 1 asparagus and 1 carrot…stingy. The strawberry shortcake was not shortcake. Disappointed with this Valentines dinner. Usually they are much better.

    The music only added to a very romantic night as the singer belted out some great old Sinatra hits that set the stage for some wonderful food. The waiter was exceptional at staying on top of things as we were given adequate time to enjoy our courses. And the food came out served hot! Our gentleman stayed with us the whole time but not too close, finishing with a warm "Thank You". It made for a perfect ending for the evening. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional experience.

    Had a nice Valentine's Day Dinner at Bayside on the 14th. Gwendolyn was our server and very nice and professional. We had the prefix menu at $135 a person. My wife started with the Cesar salad and I had the crab cake. We both had tequilla drinks. For our main entree my wife had the Sea Bass and I had the Salmon. Both dishes were very good. The music was amazing with the trio playing some awesome tunes. For desert we had a coffee and both the flour less chocolate cake and the strawberry shortcake. A nice meal, Valet parking and we felt the love in the air. Recommended

    Friendly waitstaff. Delicious meat dishes - rib-eye, rack of lamb, prime rib - all excellent. Decent wine list. Nice ambience. A worthy place for a romantic evening or special celebration.

    Usually, the food is really good and the service is pretty good but last night the service absolutely sucked and the food was just marginal at best. The band was great as always !!
