The Bay House

One of the best meals of my life. The staff were friendly, detail oriented, and helpful. When I made the reservation and let them know it was for birthday, they surprised us with cheerful confetti. The food was a wonderful combination of traditional and experimental gastronomy. My recommendation is try to make it to dessert... it's well worth it. Their homemade ice cream is better than Salt & Straw.

Had tried to eat while I was down here a few times but was grateful to work with GM Steve Wilson and they were able to kind of customize a special dinner for me because their menu had changed. Definitely the biggest wine list I've ever seen and they have a cool little cellar room, but you can pretty much find any wine from Oregon but they also have about a third of their wine from old world. The chef is very good at plating and presentation and everything was cooked to Perfection and Mark might server was fun and interactive and great to deal with. It's definitely pretty dark and a larger style room so if you want a little privacy there are a few booths but the view is of the trees and a little of the coastline closer to the window. A really good value at 125 for 5 courses and your dessert plate comes with four different tastes. Amend interacting and going to this location and making sure you make reservations especially late spring through early fall and I definitely will be going back before it gets busy again. Thank you so much for the special experience and flexibility. They do offer 3 and 4 course options, as well as make your own choices, which makes it under 100. trying to upload pics..

I cannot say enough good things. We called on Thursday evening and were able to get reservations for Friday night for our anniversary. We chose the 4 course menu for each of us. (Which meant that as we shared bits off our plates, we got to sample 8 different courses. Yum.) Service: top notch. From taking our coats to helping us back into them as we left, service was incredible. Our waitress kept our glasses topped off, and the pacing of the meal was perfect. Food: Delicious. The dishes were all quite rich, with unique flavors. The plating was whimsical and just so fun. Four courses was more than enough food- we could not finish our dessert courses. Standouts were the pork belly and the scallops! Drinks: We didn’t want any alcohol, and were pleasantly surprised to find a handful of non-alcoholic options in the back of the wine binder. (The non-alcoholic white Zinfandel was delicious!) I was smiling from the moment we pulled in until the moment we pulled away from the parking lot. A stellar celebration dinner. Thank you!

Great selection of food and an extensive offering of local and international wines. If you want to sample all the food, the tasting menu is your best bet! Definitely a wide variety of flavors to taste throughout each course. Make sure you have an extra stomach for dessert courses!

Bay house is delicious 😋. The portion size for each course is a good size. You either leave stuffed or your taking goodies home. Presentations of the food are so beautiful; you almost don't want to eat it, but when you do, it has perfect texture and flavors. The staff are wonderful. They welcome you like family and are so accommodating. Everyone wants you to have the best experience. The view is beautiful. I highly recommend it. 👌

If I could give it five stars or more I would give it the highest rating. It was an unforgettable, absolutely wonderful evening for our table of six family members. The food was literally the best I've had in a long long time. We enjoyed the seven course tasting menu along with paired wines.

Absolutely incredible experience! We did the tasting menu with a bottle of Pino Gris, it was a fun and light atmosphere focus on the flavors of the food. Incredible fresh menu, perfectly cooked and they had the perfect table set up for our anniversary and fun confetti for the table. I was laughing and smiling the whole time! Great experience!

A perfect evening of food, family and fun: Our waiter Peter and the owner Steve greeted us at the door. The service was perfect. The menu items are all wonderful and the wine list is endless. We brought our own bottle of wine and we had it promptly decanted and served up right. There is no question the owner strives for perfection. If you frequent the Central Oregon coast and dine here once you will be hooked for good. Premium food prepared and served perfectly matched with an endless list of wine ranging from moderately priced to super premium select simply cannot be beat. Cheers. Update: We dined Jan 9th, 2023. Another stellar meal and wine. The clams and ravioli appetizers, beets salad, seared duck breast and the tenderloin were to perfection. The sides were equally interesting. The wine list is EXTENSIVE and all encompassing. We definitely partook!!! Steve Wilson never disappoints. Headed back soon for our 50th anniversary. Open Wed-Sunday 530-900 pm

(Apologies- this was a longer overdue review lost in my drafts folder. Ooops! ) What an exquisite dining experience! We discovered the Bay House by luck, after realizing that the Attic Bar and Lounge just changed their menu this week to all vegetarian. We were disappointed and hangry for a real carnivorous meal! Everything at the Bay House was phenomenal: The Host, our waiter, the drinks, the food and the atmosphere. An intimate setting, staged for only 12 tables/booth. The room is dimly lit, relying on nature light from the panel of large windows. A great view of the forest. Sorry, my photos are a bit off due to the intimate lighting. lol

We stayed at the Salishan Spa & Resort and decided to try out their one-of-a-kind The Bay House restaurant experience. We booked a wine-tasting event for a party of six, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The wine cellar was a delightful surprise, housing over 11,000 bottles, plus 4,000 more in the dining area, The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making the experience even more enjoyable. Our server was exceptional, and the food was perfect. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem inside the Salishan Spa & Resort. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a unique and memorable dining experience.

This has been the best meal of our lives. Chef Conan didn't disappoint. He is gold! The server and owner are delightful and fun. We just celebrated our 20th anniversary and we will never forget this meal!

What an amazing experience from start to finish! The staff is so kind, patient, and explained everything in detail. Our dinner was also fantastic. We chose the three course option and the flavors, presentation, and quality of ingredients were the best we've experienced in Oregon. It was my birthday, and they made it special in a way that wasn't instructive. Oh! The wine list is extensive as well - we enjoyed the free wine tasting beforehand in the wine room adjacent to the restaurant and found a new favorite cab. Thank you Steve and staff for helping create a special evening. I ordered: clams, beet salad, scallops - 100% recommend!

Fantastic experience. The location at the resort was very nice. Lovely staff and the host/owner Stephen is delightful. Dinner was amazing and worth a bit of a splurge. Happy to have celebrated our anniversary here.

Oh wow so many wonderful things to say about the Bay House. First of all the owner Steve is amazing. He is welcoming, kind, professional, knowledgeable and all the rest ! The food and ambience are perfect. So gooooooood. The service is excellent. We had Leo 2 nites in a row and he never failed us. Separately Steve has an awesome wine tasting a days out of the week where you can also purchase wine at excellent prices with quite the variety. We will always dine at the Bay House when staying at the Salishan Resort.

Such a delight to find this caliber of fine dining in a resort. A lovely room with a view of the coastal forest holds just the right amount of tables. Wait staff Mark and Steve were top notch, very welcoming and professional. Options are a 3, 4 or 5 course tasting menu. Interesting and creative items to choose from. It was a great experience from beginning to end and Mark made one of the best Old Fashions I've ever had. We hope to come back some day.

We are long-time happy customers of The Bay House, but we're not able to visit the new location in the Salishan Resort until a few days ago. The Bay House is better than ever! The new space is comfortable and inviting, the tables are well-spaced, and the background music and customer sound level is just right for privacy with a nice sense of dining along with the guests at the other tables who are enjoying a great evening. The chefs turn out superb dishes. Everything was delicious and the service was professional and friendly. The owner, Steve, makes everyone feel welcome. Great for date night, dinner with friends, and family occasions.

Our prom dinner was perfect here, yes they are a little pricey but so worth it all. My boyfriends sister is a pastry chef (I'm pretty sure) here and they made our night even more special with a complimentary bottle of nonalcoholic cider and dessert for us all to share and try together. Great memory,great time and great service!

My husband and I dined at The Bay House during our stay at Salishan for our anniversary. Our server was mediocre at best - he never introduced himself, was not personable, and was very unclear as to how the menu vs tasting menu worked. When we asked questions, we were met with attitude, not nasty, just attitude that was not needed. The food was good. Exceptional? No. I ordered the filet medium rare. It arrived with beautiful presentation. On first cut, the steak was overdone - no pink at all. Second cut into center of steak, well done. When I told the waiter that my steak was well done, not medium rare, his reply was, and I quote, "Sorry", and walked away. Unreal for a high end restaurant known for exceptional food and service. I ate as much as I could, but did not love it. For the price, the food and experience were very disappointing.

This was the highlight of our trip to the coast! We stayed at the Salishan and The Bay House was really the only thing that stood out as excellent! The food was phenomenal, a real tasting experience that our family will always remember. The service was also exceptional. This is on my list of best dinning experienced I've had in my lifetime!

Wow .. Just wow! One of the best dining experience we have had the pleasure of experiencing. The service we received alone gets 5 stars but what an enjoyable & delicious anniversary celebrations we have had. From the incredible chef Kevin to proprietor Steve and the remaining staff - Thank you all for a memorable & delightful experience. Will be back to try other menu items soon.

Took my sister myself and my niece to dinner last night. The ambiance , the staff our waiterMark Jones and the owner Steve all far exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely flawless we each had the four course meal as we didn't want to miss a thing. My sincere thanks to all for making our 61st and 62nd birthdays a night to cherish.

The service was amazing, the food was outstanding. The ambiance was a little plain, not overly done but maybe just right. Music was perfect as well as the lighting. We were there for a company dinner and I have to say they did an amazing job with the menu.

The service is top notch. They really take care of you. The multiple course meal is great to try different things. The pork belly is so very good. We always look forward to going!

Steve ,the own of The Bay House at Salishan, has just started a brand new experience, Wine teasing in the wine cellar underneath the restaurant. We had a wonderful time. We talked to Steve about our wine preferences and he made some recommendations of a couple of wine we might like to taste. We ordered two half bottles that we throughly enjoyed with the charcuterie board that came with the tasting experience. We had a wonderful time sitting in the wine cellar with about 11,000 bottles of Very Nice wine. We would recommend this wine experience to everyone that enjoys wine.

Went here for my anniversary on the 7th of January. Reservation was made the day of. Started with a nice bottle of wine ($100+). Went with the soup to start, it was an asparagus soup, about 1/2 way thru it I pulled a hair out of my mouth. Handed it to the waiter and he blamed it on the asparagus! Never had I had a fiber that was HAIR in my mouth from asparagus. He basically ripped it and threw it on the ground. Didn't offer me a new soup. Didn't offer a discount at the end of my meal. Just disregarded the whole situation. I'm not one to look for something free but I'm also not one to go out to eat and expect HAIR in my food and have the situation disregarded. Lighting was a little dark, serving food that should be appealing to se should be seen. What a shame that I have to write this review. 2 star cause the food wasn't bad just the experience.

This place is STILL amazing! If you don't think they can top what they did at the old Bay House, well, they did. Tastefully decorated and spotless, Steve and his staff treat you like an old friend and do it effortlessly. Now, the food. Wow! We did the six course meal and my wife and I (it was our 35th Anniversary so we splurged), both gave it an easy two thumbs up. Flavor and quality was as expected and service impeccable. The one thing one must do when they come here is pay attention to the presentation of the food and especially the dessert. Check my photos out for the proof. The second thing a person should do if coming for the six course meal is have a light lunch as it is very filling. Pleasantly filling. If in the area, make it a point to go but make reservations for sure as we will be on our next trip back!

Service was spectacular, they offered to make home made lemonade and change their menu for my daughter, that meant the world to me. Wine list is amazing, unfortunately wasn't able to try do to personal medical restrictions but will be back for the wine list alone. Food was almost perfect, aside from slightly over cooked fish, and a tad late to our table everything else was spot on. The clams, pasta, beef, and mole were all sublime. Thank you to Leonard and Steve for making the evening special.

Enjoyed a great dinner here. Fantastic tasting menu. Almost flawlessly executed 5+courses. Amazing wine list. Server was very good-friendly but professional. Definitely recommend for a fine dining experience.

Always fantastic food and service! Our favorite place for dinner at the coast. Great wine list as well.

From calling to make my reservation to the moment we walked out the door, Steven was a spectacular host. My partner and I were looking for a nice place to get dinner on a long weekend getaway and this place exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere is quiet and romantic. Candlelit tables and low lighting with a rose in water at each table. We chose the 6 course option with the wine pairings. The A La Carte options seemed lovely, but for about $50 more we thought the chefs menu and wine pairing was well worth it. The food was flavorful and varied; the wine paired well to sip on and complemented each course. We will absolutely be back! A note on finding The Bay House in its new location at Salishan: there are not obvious signs telling you where to go within the Salishan Resort. Go to the main lodge and ask the folks at the front desk.

This is my 3rd time eating at this amazing restaurant. The owner Steve, who originally started as a server way back in his late teens, and later purchased this location. It is run separately from the hotel/spa, but the resort staff is friendly and has no problem if you sit and enjoy the fireplace/lobby. I do the 5 course tasting menu every time, and this was my best experience of the 3, though all 3 were a "charm." Steve has an amazing wine list, with almost every OR winery, and then many old world and new world options besides Pinots. After getting one glass of the dry Riesling he suggested (and I had with the first 2 courses of potato leak soup, scallops), I got the Willamette Valley Tualatin 2018 Pinot, that went great with the duck breast and filet. The server was also awesome and knew the menu inside and out. But the most credit goes to the chef and assistant chef. Every time I have challenged them with an extra course or ingredient, they have raised to the occasions. I even bought and brought in some Dungeness crab a few hours before my reservation, and they ended up making an amazing risotto as a bonus course. The portions and cooking was amazing. Sadly, they are only going to be there about another 4 months, and I will plan on going on their last day. I highly recommend them, and don't see why they don't have 5 stars all day! Thank you and hope you have an amazing summer impressing guests!

For an unforgettable wine tasting experience head over to the wine cellar at The Bay House at Salishan. Call Steve and make reservations for up to ten people and enjoy either a flight, glass or a bottle of your choice accompanied with a charcuterie and dessert. The ambience in the downstairs cellar and Steve's presentation makes this a wonderful time for all

There is no finer dining in Oregon. Period. In 2019 it sounded like they'd closed down permanently, but (happy dance!) ...they're back! Now located onsite at the Salishan Resort in Gleneden, not far from their original location (although I can't begin to say how much I miss that ladies room with the fireplace!). But what's important is that the beloved Bay House, with it's not-to-be-missed six course tasting menu and legendary table service, is once again here for us wannabe-foodies to save up for, savor, and then go home in a bona fide food coma. I hadn't eaten inside a restaurant since before the zombie apocalypse began, but fortunately the Bay House is now in a huge space with lots of room between the limited number of tables. I felt comfortable and safe, and it was truly a treat to enjoy an indoor meal that I didn't cook myself (not that I could pull off the dishes presented at the Bay House if I dared even try). The tasting menu changes over time, but generally consists of appetizer and salad courses, plus three main courses typically consisting of duck, seafood and a beef filet, a cheese plate, and a delicious dessert assortment. If you have a special occasion and plan to be in the area, just go. Really. Don't think about it any longer, just do it. There honestly isn't anyplace better.

One of the best food experiences we have ever had. The staff is so on top of everything. They are very friendly. Great drinks. The food was amazing the pork belly was out of this world. The pumpkin risotto is one of the best risottos I've ever had. Some of the best food I have ever had. I have t had this quality of food since I worked at a high end restaurant with a French trained chef. The head chef here knows what he's doing and it's executed perfectly. The kitchen is open faced and everything runs so quietly and like clock work. It was fun getting to watch them make our food. Absolutely amazing food beautiful dishes they look like art work. The desert plate was over the top gorgeous. We will definitely be back

We ate here while staying on property, hoping for a great experience... Unfortunately, the food was not well executed. The amuse bouche of churro, was raw in the middle, the pork belly was overcooked and tough, the corn soup was miss advertised as corn when it should've been labeled bowl of cream and butter, the beet salad was bland (where was the chèvre!?!), and the beef tenderloin was not cooked to our temperature request. We asked for a bottle of wine and rather than a conversation with the sommelier about what we liked or price points, they simply sent one over. Otherwise, the service was relatively good, prompt, friendly, etc ... Overall, very disappointed with the food and experience considering the price. For a third of the cost I think we had a much better meal at the rusty pelican brewery. While some may say this is "fussy," the reality is if you're going to charge high end prices you should deliver on the food, the service and the ambience.

Steve Wilson, his chef and his staff serve excellent food, They do it with a welcoming atmosphere and you feel you are joining a family of satisfied customers. We are repeat customers who go to the Bay House on each visit to the Coast and are welcomed every time. We will keep returning.

Overly pretentious. They tried too hard. The dishes were mostly good but overdone, IMO, trying too hard. Too much sauce, too many unnecessary ingredients, too complex. The clams and the beef tenderloin were great. The duck, OK, the pork belly, very unremarkable, overly sweet and certainly not crispy. The beet salad, very so so. I still have no idea what the green powdery substance was next to my duck. Way too much food, for us, anyway. $240 for two, tip and three glasses of a nice Eastern Washington wine, included.

PLEASE EAT HERE. Disregard any weird, negative review about the restaurant and proprietor. Those people are haters and just wanted some freebee lol. We loved the responses the proprietor made toward the people who were not satisfied. My husband and I chose to dine in the lounge. It was so cozy and warm and inviting! We sat on a little couch and cuddled...sipped some well crafted cocktails and enjoyed the view of the bay. Service was wonderful- from the moment we were greeted until the moment we left. A note about the cocktails: mine was perfect. I chose "blushed" and being that I don't like drinks that are ultra sweet, the bartender made mine a little extra tart-per her recommendation. My husband loves a good old fashioned and he said his wasn't a true one...but he didn't complain and drank the whole thing. The bartender had a heavy hand so the drinks were honest and I had a true buzz halfway through my drink. Although to be honest, I am fairly small person. Now on to the food- incredible. We eat at a lot of nice restaurants and have no problem paying good money for good food. We were so please with all of the dishes we ordered. My husband and I shared everything. Pork belly with grits and maple reduction: so balanced and satisfied the savory, sweet tooth! The pork belly was cooked perfect and not too fatty. Just the right amount. Very tender. Devoured this immediately. Crab cakes: a lot of places put cheese in the crab cakes (which I don't mind because I love cheese lol) but I don't think the Bay house does. The crab was so fresh tasting and was not overpowered by the ingredients or seasoning within them. They are served with mango salsa, avocado purée, and I believe a chipotle style dip. Although all of these flavors are great, the crab cake didn't need them. It was perfect on its own....but if you so decided to use the other flavors on the plate- you should not be disappointed. Steamers with chorizo: sooooo good! Oh my gosh. The sauce the steamers were cooked with was incredible. I couldn't get enough. They were absolutely fresh and you could taste the steamers...not just what they were cooked in. Perfect, mild and incredible. The Chorizo was tasty, but I let my hubby eat most of that. The steamers came with fresh made brioche bread. It was sooo soft and fluffy. I asked for some butter and what they brought out was made in house--so, so tasty. We are absolutely happy with our experience. We will definitely be back whenever we can!

Wife, son and I dined 2/23/24 at the Bayhouse At Salishan. We have dined at a number of Michelin starred restaurants, most when we lived in the SF Bay Area. In our unanimous opinion, the Bayhouse stands solidly in the same league; positively superb from beginning to end. We chose to have the five course Tasting Menu dinner. This begins with Mesclun salad, a refreshing start with just the right amount and flavor of dressing to accentuate without overpowering. The second course consisted of a large scallop, bathed in the cooking in what must have been a pound of butter, surrounded by chantrelles and purees that were so flavorful together one might imagine the scallop as the virtuoso surrounded by an operatic chorus. Next up was pheasant. I had pheasant several times as a child, some decades ago. It was edible, but always a bit on the tough side. Not so at Bayhouse. This bird was brined, tender, and juicy, again surrounded by a complimentary cast of purees and wild rice. The best pheasant I have ever experienced. I would say the same for wife and son, except this was a first for both of them. Then came the beef tenderloin. By this point one might expect the portions to moderate a bit, given the substantial meal already served. Not so. Instead, a very nice cut appeared with tenderness and flavor that any steak lover would readily say was the epitome of perfection. A wonderful blueberry bordelaise rested on the plate for optional use (and woe to those who fail to avail themselves of its wonderful flavor out of a pretense of naked beef purity). The carrots, onion, and pommes fondant provided contrast that only accentuated the flavor of the beef. And then desert: a "popsicle" that was perhaps the most unadorned expression of the great creativity that went into this meal; a strawberry cream puff (OMG!), a cheesecake, and a tiramisu trifle. Double OMG OMG!! This is a meal we will never forget. While definitely in the league with Bay Area prices as well as food, it is hard to imagine money better spent. It is worth a week of starvation to afford such a masterful and thoroughly rewarding meal. By now you probably think the author must be a relative, equity holder or have some other connection to this enterprise. Not so. We have no connection with the Bay House or its personnel or interests whatsoever except for enjoying among the finest two or three meals we have ever had. This place is worth a standing ovation.

I was delighted by "The Bay House". From the moment we walked in we felt welcome. We had made a reservation ahead of time, and our maitre d' remembered that it was my partner's birthday when we came in. He went out of his way to make sure it was a special event for her. Our waiter was helpful, friendly and prompt. I appreciated working with him. We chose the Chef's menu which turned out to be an excellent decision. Our meal started out with a delicious smoked halibut appetizer. We also had courses of salmon, duck, and beef. Each of them were cooked perfectly, and their sides were mouth watering. I appreciated their large wine selection. They had quite a few varieties of my favorite Zin, Rombauer and Turley. We didn't try their cocktails, but I would assume they're just as tasty as the rest of their menu. This place is a Lincoln City gem. You won't be disappointed.

A+ highly recommend! An unbelievable dining experience from start to finish. Warm atmosphere, friendly/knowledgeable staff, and perfect new location. Can't wait to return in the near future!

What a great service and great food! We ordered three course dinner where we can pick what we want from each category. Started with fettuccine with crab and Parmesan cheese- it had a very interesting flavor and was actually refreshing! Fettuccine sauce had a zest in it which made the dish very unusual. We also ordered pork belly as a starter- excellent! It served on a spreader apple butter with lightly cooked egg, polenta and carrot cake crumbs. Interesting presentation and great flavors. For salad I had their signature salad with blueberry dressing- delicious! And my husband had beet salad. He said he liked it, I don't like beets, and didn't taste it. For the entrees we had halibut and duck. Both dishes are excellent! I love crispy skin on a fish! Duck was great too, it came with butternut squash purée, fig purée and served on a parsnip purée. Yum! And dessert- it was something totally different! It was a scene from a cartoon!!!! Was had so much fun eating it. Did I mention it was delicious? Fantastic place! Love it!!!

Great food, impeccable service. Wonderful for special occasions. Romantic dinner possible in some of the darker corners.

Great atmosphere for any date, the food is very good, and sometimes even outstanding. Yes, I know things should be "perfect" on the internet, but this is real life, this place is worth every penny and then some, please support them and their business and remember to tip your servers, they are incredible. 3,4, or 6 course meals...

We have been coming to The Bay House for many years, so were very happy to see it reopen at Salishan. The owner is the same. I believe the cook is the same. Much of the serving staff is the same. In short, the experience is the same. The menu is a bit different. You can put together your own tasting menu of up to six courses. We chose three. It was plenty of food and we were able to spread the meal out over several hours. The mesclun salad had a nice blueberry dressing, that was not too sweet. They always do a wonderful Duck, which I'd what I ordered. Rebecca's scallops were also excellent. They included cheese as one of the desserts. It was just what the meal needed at the end. They still have their extensive wine list with plenty of choices to empty your wallet. However, they also have lots of more moderately priced options to enhance an evening. We had a very nice Sancerre to start and an excellent Lemelson Pinot Noir for the entire. All in all, it was a marvelous evening. Glad they made it through the pandemic. We will go back.

Oh my this food is awesome. Everything about The Bay House was so good! From the outside, I was a little apprehensive but once we entered the restaurant is magical. Steve the owner met us at the door and took us down a wine bottle filled hallway and seated us with an ocean view. Van, our server was absolutely the best server I've been around in years. The food was incredible. I had smoked duck, my husband had beef steak and our companions had sea scallops. The wine suggestion was perfect and the starter, roasted garlic soup was creamy and delicious. The presentation was spot on. Would recommend The Bay House to anyone wanting fine dining the way it should be. Can't wait to go back.

The food was amazing. The pork belly was soft and yummy. Salad and soup were great. The main entrees of pork, salmon, and beef were delicious. Our waitress made us feel like our meal was the best thing ever and told us about it with joy.

I almost feel like I'm in a bad episode of kitchen nightmares. Between your ignorance of the post for over two months, your claims of denial of the food served from your menu, and the statement that your restaurant is of the highest standing and that i do not understand food; It is obvious that you have very little real connection to your restaurant, its food, or the concerns of your customers. Just a word of advice, use this as a sign for you to make a correction in how your restaurant is managed while you still have it.

Get the tasting menu with friends. It was delicious with steak, duck, fish and the most wonderful potatoes. The trio of desserts were so beautiful, they were almost to good to eat. Almost. The service was extraordinary. And the chef made special and thoughtful accommodations for our vegetarian friend.

Excellent meal!!! The Bay House is a fine dining experience. My family of four was more than satisfied. Excellent job! As a business owner I completely understand why they structure the menu the way they do. Fabulous food that is exquisitely delivered in a way that makes you want more! We can't wait to come back! PS... Go Hawkeyes!

Had a great dinner for my 10th wedding anniversary. Food and service was great, until the coat check guy chose to shut my wife down and snatch the single stem rose centerpiece she wanted to bring home from our table... $400 dinner and we can't have a fuc*ing flower??? Ridiculous. and was told to never come back after I gave him pushback about it... will never be back, and never recommend anyone I know go there for a meal. Good food, good service, the WORST concierge imaginable....‍

My husband and I came to celebrate our 20 year anniversary. The service was wonderful, but the food was really bad. The duck was over cooked and didn't taste like duck. Desserts were really weird ingredients. Everything in between was underwhelming. For the very expensive price point of the meal, plus not being on the water anymore... unfortunately won't be returning.

We have come to the bay house twice now and we have loved it both times! This time, we called and asked if there were any openings and they were very sad to tell me they were booked (No big it's 5:30 Saturday on Memorial Day weekend, haha) but two minutes later the host calls me right back and let's me know he had a last minute cancellation and he could accommodate us! We were thrilled. And when we got there, he even remembered us from when we had dined there a few months prior. Both experiences we had excellent service and excellent meals. We will absolutely be back!

We had the pleasure of enjoying a group meal for 24 of us recently, and most of us experienced the best meal we will ever have! An authentic seven course meal is very hard to find nowadays and it was simply amazing. Where to begin?

Best meal EVER! It was truly a wonderful culinary experience. Definitely get the tasting menu, with the paired wines, it is so worth it. Each course is so thoughtfully created and presented. Our server was so sweet and helpful.

We went to the Bay House for dinner on the last night of our vacation based on a recommendation from our innkeepers and it was, without a doubt, the right choice. The owner met us at the door and seated us. He was so friendly it felt as though he was welcoming us to his home. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable, making great recommendations when we needed them. My husband had the duck and I had the scallops and both were amazing. And the food was just as beautiful as it was delicious. My only regret is that we don't live closer to this restaurant, because if we did, we would definitely go back again.

I have eaten at some pretty swank restaurants in big cities and trendy locations and not one of them even compare to The Bay House! The food and service are beyond all expectations...impeccable!! The food is all fresh and artfully prepared. The wine cellar is extensive and the cocktails crafted with care. The waitstaff are so friendly and knowledgeable. They remember your name and refer to you by your name throughout your meal. The owner is moving around the dining room talking to patrons and filling in to make sure your dining experience is exactly how you'd like it to be. This is a true GEM, nestled in a charming location with a spectacular view. You will NOT be disappointed and you will not find a better experience anywhere, guaranteed!!
