The food was very pricey yet it was just sub par. It looked like the table before us left their meal in the seat and we had to wipe it... More

No trip to the Gulf Coast would be complete without lots of seafood, and the Bayside did not disappoint..... fairly diverse menu, generous portions and at reasonable prices.

Salad is very bland as we're the mixed veggies. The fried oysters were small but tasty. The batter could have had more seasoning. The scallops were excellent, lightly battered, juicy and flavorable.
