Food: Tasteful spectrum, lacks creativity
While the creativity on the menu might remind you of a standard hotel restaurant, the food definitely doesn't - it's absolutely exquisite. The freshness of the food is passable, though there may be occasional misses. The portions, however, are ample and satisfying - these guys don't skimp on the quantities. Key-note: lack of variety and high price might leave some diners scratching their heads.

Generous portions frequently highlighted as ample and satisfying.
Okay Quality
Quality and freshness of food is usually good, with occasional misses.

Limited menu options disappoint; lacks variety for different preferences.

Vibe: Seamless blend of aesthetic notes
Walking into Bayside, you'll be taken aback by the chic romantic ambiance - it's stylish, it's cozy and you have live music in the backdrop.

Perks: Upscale service with a few jolts
Valet service? Check. Comfortable patio seating? Check. Accommodating large groups? An enthusiastic check. So far, so good. However, just be warned - the noise levels are high and can disrupt your peace. The reservation system is a bit off too, sometimes causing unexpected waits. The place seems suitable for kids, but refrain if you're after gluten-free options.

Okay For Kids
Decent family seating area, appeared suitable for dining with children.
Bad Service
Slow service with long waits and unattentive staff frustrate numerous customers.
