I enjoy the Bay St Cafe. It's low priced for a decent value meal. The view can't be beat! The atmosphere leaves something to be admired, though. Parry Sound's Bay Street has a few restaurant selections for all occasions.

We've been here often when in the area and it's consistently good. It's small, so you're often seated very close to others, but that's the only downside.

Delightful location and picturesque from the outside. Unfortunately, the interior hasn't been updated in years. Very bare bones with old fashioned colors on the walls. Dark green or red hasn't been "in" for interior decoration for at least 15 years. There's none of the outside charm on the inside. Yes, the food is mediocre. I had the same experience another...

Poor service, per bought food, and over priced. Not happy about the experience, and the server, and manager could care less. If it wasn't for the location, I am sure they would have closed a long time ago

Enjoyed the meals, great staff. I go there because I like to eat outside on the deck. It overlooks the sound and the cruise boat.

This restaurant is only open during the tourist season. They have a lovely porch to sit on and watch the activity on the water, however, the food is mediocre at best. It is food service so don't expect a lot.

Food tastes like everything was frozen. The location in the harbour is nice with boat and airplane traffic. Only open during tourist season with disinterested staff.

I decided to stop in here for lunch and was very impressed. I ordered a simple soup and salad, and got just that. The soup was a roasted butternut squash soup. It was good except for the fact that I found the seasoning to be a little off (not enough salt and a bit too much pepper for my liking... More

Dropped in there for a late lunch in mid Aug, it was crowded which probably explained the slow service - being for the UK we were not use to the differences in types of staff - so was quite frustrated at trying to catch the wrong eye..I had the local Pickerel, which was great but the chips weren't that good...
