Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Bayview

Food was phenomenal, service from Neal and team was amazing, vibe was immaculate. Can’t wait to return. What we ordered, Endive salad - beautifully balanced and fresh Seafood tower - so fresh and amazing flavours. Only note is that the crab legs are very much whole so was a little difficult to shuck ourselves but we managed. Popcorn clams and mussels - light, crispy, delicious. Order it!! Skate wing - Cooked perfectly, surprising flavour combinations but worked so so well Surf ‘n’ turf - ugh, amazing. Perfectly cooked lobster, crispy sweetbreads, sauce was nicely seasoned and rich NY strip - nicely cooked and great flavour. Only note was that although cooked perfectly mid rare, the actual temperature of the steak was a little cold but not a huge deal English chips - best french fries ever eaten. Malt powder and beef fat, can’t go wrong Banoffee pie - very rich, could use a smidge of acidity to cut through it but still excellent Drinks are also great. Both alcoholic and non. Had too many of each to remember for this review. Overall, fantastic night. Will be back many times.

I was excited to try Bar Clams as a special new year ring in treat for myself. I made the right choice! I had no expectations, knowing very little about the east coast inspired joint; aside from the incomparable Matty Matheson at the helm of this new establishment. I would highly recommend to anyone with a tastebud for real, delectable feel-good seafood dishes and then some. Chefs Kiss!

Waitress was a big aggressive about collecting a money deposit for tables larger than 6. Once dinner was stated they broke a glass bottle on the table while serving .

Michael is the goat. He is the best restaurant staff member I’ve ever seen. Go here if you want to be treated right.

The service and ambiance was great. Notable dishes were the challah and fluke and fennel. The fries were perfectly crispy and the broccoli was very flavourful. However, the ribeye was average, it lacked flavour but cooked properly yo medium rare.
