    The food was exquisite, the oysters were phenomenal and so was a Guinness’s dessert

    Some of the best food we've had in years! The chef has a great way of combining flavors and textures in unexpected ways. Friendly service, nice atmosphere. But it is hard to find! Call if you get lost, like we did

    Nice space. Overwhelmingly average. We were hoping for more. Nothing special about it other than the view.

    Food was great! Service great. Was VERY impressed with all the options for the oysters. Alot of places say they’re an oyster bar but never have a large selection to choose from. The craft cocktails were delicious. The seared tuna was awesome.

    Back for the second time in a month and food was great again. Tuna poke nachos are awesome! Loved the Lobster/Mushroom Risotto. And the Beignets with the best raspberry sauce ever are a must to share at dessert! See you again shortly!!

    Absolutely the best service, and the fantastic food made the experience exceptional. Never disappointed with the Bay House, it is one of the gems in the city.

    I reserved a standard table for our special dinner. However, we were sat at a high table in the bar. We asked to change to a table nearby that was more private. We were told no because of a party of two coming in after us. This was disappointing. There were many tables open on the second level above us as well. The food was good but very expensive since everything was a la carte.
