"Thursday Evening Dinner Bayside was very nice. I have been to tons of fine dining restaurants around the country, The Grilled Pork Chop at Bay Cafe for just $32 was the best I've ever had. Go there and enjoy."

"Red Snapper special was too die for at lunch, with a healthy portion of fish! Wok chicken was a great and delicious due to the extreme heat that plagued our area. It’s always a pleasure taking the boat to Bay Cafe!"
