    We had company from out of town and Bayside Kraft Kitchen is our go to restaurant. Great meals for all five of us. The new menu item short ribs were enjoyed by two of the party. Feta appetizer was a delicious shareable Alex was our attentive and knowledgeable server. Thank you Bayside for another wonderful evening

    With a reservation and several open tables in the main dining area, we were seated in a bar area booth where our server was a very busy bartender. Food was good but not great for the price. This was my third time trying this restaurant and each time was a similar experience (although I was in the main dining area the other times so service was a little better). I have gone with different people each time and we have all ordered different items but have the same opinion. The cocktails are good and typically priced for the area. I would likely return but only if other options don't work out.

    Our meal ad Bayside Kraft Kitchen was delicious. The restaurant is very nicely designed and appointed, with views of Kings Bay. Our food was prepared perfectly and well presented. The staff was pleasant and attentive. Their "happy hour" provides excellent value for appetizers and drinks. The dinner selection was somewhat limited and moderately high priced. I personally would have liked to see more seafood offerings. As with many establishments in this area, there is a small premium for paying with a credit card.

    Seated promptly for our scheduled reservations. Waitstaff is attentive and friendly. Appetizers and drinks arrived promptly and were delicious. The steaks, pork chops and seafood choices were outstanding. This isn’t our first Rodeo at Bayside Kraft Kitchen and surely will not be our last! 10 out of 10.

    Had a family dinner with 4 teens and children and four adults, and the food was top notch, the server attentive, and the ambiance was beautiful. One of my favorite places to bring put of town guests.

    Excellent food and service by Eva! Was very impressed with the quality of food and presentation. The restaurant ambiance is a pleasant change from the typical restaurants in the area. This was the first time our family dined in the restaurant and it was an exceptional birthday dinner! Thank you for making our event memorable, we will be sure to return.
