    Beachy, cute decor with a touch of a shark bite
    Katherine F.

    Yesterday, me and my family went to Bayside. This beautiful restaurant, is located at the East Islip Marina. At first, we saw the gray clouds gathering, rather quickly in the skies.. but minutes later, there was a peak of sunshine, that made us decide to get a table. The food is amazing. I recommend the appetizers, if you're coming in with a group that wants to have drinks as well. It's also family-friendly. I saw several blankets down on the grass; babies cooing. The mozzarella sticks and stuffed clams were really good. I ordered the blackened Mahi Tacos. Very good, very tasty. I recommend the wings, fried calamari, and of course, the french fries. Prices are reasonable.

    No grab bars and no accessible stall.

    WOUNDED WARRIORS NOT WELCOME Unfortunately this establishment is in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. They've spent A Lot of money in recent years improving the restaurant but don't have accessible bathrooms. If you know a wounded warrior or any disabled person you should NOT GO HERE Shameful. And btw how did the town give them a permit to operate without having accessible bathrooms?

    We wanted a place on/by the water. Without even realizing it we could not have chosen a better location for dining by the water. It made the visit sooo much nicer. Parking was a little tricky. When you enter, be sure to tell the person at the booth that you are there to eat at the restaurant. Look to the left hidden behind the restaurant for free parking. The day we ventured here was picture perfect. Our waitress was friendly and our food was good, but nothing extra special. It's the view that's the main attraction!! It was a nice lunch out with friends.

    I love the food of bayside. It is fresh. They made a lovely accommodation for me. I wanted a grilled fish sandwich for dinner and they allowed me to. The service is fast. It's a beautiful view of the water. I love their mussels marinara!! I love their sweet potato fries.

    My " crispy chicken sandwich".. it's just one chicken finger.

    I really wanted to love this place. It has such potential! However, the food was disappointing. I had a crispy chicken sandwich which consisted of one single chicken strip. No tomato no lettuce. The drinks were great that I will say however, I think this place could be doing so much more with their food. Our server was kind, and the ambiance was perfect.

    Outdoor seating w/live music

    We really enjoyed the ultra casual atmosphere and the beautiful view. The service was great and the seating was quick. The band was fantastic and we just love that ultra casual beach vibe. The food and drinks were a 2 1/2 out of 5. As other reviewers say, it is extremely overpriced for what you get quality wise. Normally I don't care if you charge $25 or even $35 for a plate of shrimp, I am fine with that. But when you order grilled shrimp and you get cocktail shrimp that was boiled and then passed over the grill it kind of feels cheap. My grilled shrimp scampi turned out to be boiled cocktail shrimp on a skewer that was heated up (barely passed over) the grill and the rice it was on top was inedible (sour taste). The appetizers we had were baked clams and conch fritter, both decent but nothing to rave about. The fish tacos were good. The mojito had very large amounts of whole bunches (not just leaves) of mint (some slimy that I picked out), so definitely not muddled or even mashed slightly in the shaker. Would we give them another try? Yes, because we love the atmosphere so much and are willing to give it another chance hoping if we order different dishes they may be better. Will update, if we have the same experience it may be a place to just get simple drinks and appetizers, if that. It is a location we like to visit. Hopefully we try other dishes and like them better.

    Their strawberry drink. Very good

    Can't beat the location on the bay. Food is good and keeps with the seaside atmosphere. Often live music is a bonus. Reasonably priced.

    I've been meaning to try Bayberry for a while & I saw a post about their happy hour so decided to…read moregive it a try. Happy hour at the bar is from 12-7pm with the bar bites available after 4pm. The place is very nicely decorated and exudes an upscale but unpretentious vibe. I ordered a glass of the pinot noir which was tasty and at $6 a nice bargain. I got the chickpea fries and was surprised by the texture. It was almost custard like with a slight chickpea flavor in a very light breading. Served with the harissa aioli it made for a nice app. After a while I decided to try the Filet mignon sliders, which I ordered medium rare, the bartender said they don't usually take a temp on those but he'd note it. The meat is sliced very thin but was tender and still had a bit of red. The arugula gave it a nice peppery bite. My only critic is the slider roll was very cottony, but the overall taste was very good. I'll definitely be back and will try something off the regular menu.

As mentioned they try to offer fresh, seasonal apps, handhelds, salads and entrees. The protein entree options only offer two to three chicken, pork, steak, seafood selections along with a couple of pasta infused dishes. They have a full bar, so if a beer or cocktail is wanted you do have options there as well. The Mr selected the Chilled Shrimp & Crab Stack, but eliminated the hard boiled egg aspect and thought it was light, tasty and refreshing. I opted for the Faroe Salmon with shrimp that came accompanied/on top of a risotto and peas. I thought cooked medium was perfect making it soft and fork flaky to mix along together. It was a very juicy sizable piece making it very filling. We didn't have time for a dessert, but noted they did have a few offerings there. Also noted they had very well kept mens/woman's and family restroom with baby changing table. Thanks! Would highly recommend this location to others.

    We had a pet-friendly, impromptu outing tonight at Jackson Hall, and it turned into such a great…read moredate night. We sat outside, and it really had that early fall vibe. The weather was cool and comfortable, with the firepits and heaters going. It was the perfect evening to enjoy the outdoor space. We got the nicest and funniest waitress, Aurora. Multiple staff members and guests showed our senior dog so much love. That made the evening even more special. Chef Mike and Aurora recommended the paella for my partner. It was MASSIVE, and he absolutely loved it. I went with something a little simpler, the French onion soup, perfect for keeping me warm while sitting outside. We also enjoyed their complimentary fresh-out-of-the-kitchen rolls. They were warm and delicious. We also took advantage of their Tuesday flavored margaritas for just $7. We tried the peach and coconut margaritas, and both were perfectly made. Between the relaxing decor, great customer service, delicious food, and the love our senior pup received, we had such a fun evening. We definitely plan to come back and try some of the other dishes!
