The food is priced between 30-60$ per entree, and for prices like that the service was decent. While definitely not fine dining service, my waiter was kind and knowledgeable. However the restaurant does not deserve its semi-strict dress code. The food was good though, and raised my rating a star. I tried mine and bits of others and they were all delicious, cooked well, and filling. The desserts were equally as good.

Staying in the resort for a few days with the family and another neighbor family (party of 8; 3…read morekids) for a relaxing vacation and play a couple rounds of golf. Dropped into the Bayside Grill on night 1. Requested a table, and they took my phone number (obviously to text me when it was ready)... they then gave our table away to another party because we "walked away" (we stepped just outside the door by their back patio). When confronted, they said "we couldn't find you"... you had my NUMBER! They apologized for the poor communication but offered the choice of a 45 minute wait or sitting at two different tables. Finally got seated at a make shift combination of circular tables that they graciously but awkwardly pressed together. The server was beyond flustered and unprofessional - apron a complete mess and falling off, confused, and generally frazzled... bro are you on vacation too? How many drinks have you had? The table we should have gotten looked like the waitress was managing the party pretty well. It took 20 minutes for the drinks to arrive, another 45 minutes for the apps to arrive. Then another 20 minutes for the entrees. The food was good. Legitimately tasty! Or maybe my entire party was just starving by this point (kids started to melt). The apps were good, most of the entrees and sides were good, the ribeye had good flavor but lacked a good sear, and the espresso martini was watered down (nobody at the table finished theirs). Really hoping that they're having "opening day" type troubles since it's one of the first busy weekends of spring... but I expected a significantly higher level of service based on the staff at check in. I would have thought that being in the business for over a hundred years would have helped construct solid processes and procedures. Cheers to 4 more days in Fairhope.

We're staying here for a conference and didn't feel like going out and we did not want to get dressed up. There is lots of seating and we were given a table immediately inside because it was a little bit chilly outside, but the outdoor seating is really lovely with views of the bay hubby ordered the red fish tacos, you can also get shrimp instead. I got the cheeseburger, which was really good and he very much liked his tacos. We were offered a choice of french fries, chips or fruit as a side for the burger. While the burger was really good, hot and juicy, the french fries did not seem very fresh. I think they had been cooked earlier and that is the only drawback to our meal. The service was really good too.

Only took 15 minutes for them to have them ready. We did these to go. The inside has a few tables and it's cozy. There is also outdoor seating.

I just had the Mole Veracruzano, and let me tell you--the mole sauce (yes, the one made with dark chocolate) was so good I was practically drooling at the table. It's rich, it's bold, and it made me seriously reconsider every life decision that's kept me from eating here sooner. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew went for the Quesabirrias, and many other dishes just look at the pictures.. but guess what? Not a single complaint. And trust me, if something wasn't right, I'd have heard about it. Instead, all I heard was the sound of happy chewing. Do yourself a favor--stop in, eat like a king, and when you see Brenda, tell her the Riders sent you. (That's Glen--aka Tweety--and Ron--aka 1/2 Time--if you're wondering.) It won't get you a discount, but it'll make her smile, and hey, we like to keep our promises. Bottom line: Excellent food, authentic flavors, and the kind of experience that makes you wonder why you ever settled for mediocre tacos.

Service was much slower than I would've preferred or anticipated, especially on a Sunday. For the prices you pay I think the experience could be better overall, but still worth a shot especially if you want to have a fancy-esque evening.
