   We went with friends for a special occasion and had a wonderful experience. First time at Bay View restaurant. Our dinners were outstanding!!! I had the coq au vin, one person ordered the cedar planked salmon and two ordered the braised short ribs. The portions are generous and the presentation is really beautiful. The oysters appetizer plate was presented beautifully too. The service was wonderful- very pleasant, attentive but not hovering. The space is lovely- fireplace, white linen cloths, a rose on each table, nice lighting. And a full bar. We were really glad we’d decided to go here for this special holiday get-together and will definitely be back. This gem needs to be supported!!! Don’t miss the gingerbread Bodega display created by the very talented chef.

   Wonderful atmosphere and ambience! The menu is more than adequate for my pescatarian diet. Throughly enjoyed the live music. Service was topnotch, friendly without being stuffy or overbearing. If you’re looking for a classy and elegant spot with delicious food look no further. Much thanks to the staff and management for providing an excellent dining experience.

   Our server, Rosie was fabulous. She knew the wines and her timing was excellent. We had the crab stuffed mushrooms which were incredible. Shared the tornadoes….excellent! My husband loved his seafood pasta. Will definitely return.

   The food was delicious, the service attentive. My husband had the salmon from the regular menu, which was fantastic. I had the halibut from the specials menu, which was fresh and very tasty. It’s a bit expensive but worth it. I was so pleased to be eating here again. I missed it!

   It was a pleasure to see this place opened again. It had a distinguished history as a high end restaurant in the area but suffered closing because of Covid. It’s back, and with a bang. The food and service are excellent, and the beautiful ambience hasn’t changed in the 40 years or so we’ve been going here. We’ll be back, many times. It’s the only restaurant in the area that can give Terrapin Creek significant competition.

   Food was good however service was not great with Merry. Nice person but took 15 minutes for her to come over after we sat to take our drink order. Service was slow after that. She forgot that I ordered a glass a wine and then got charged for 3 glasses when I only had two. Food was pretty good however the service really needs to improve.
