Went to The Bay House with our friends last Friday and determined to try out Lobster & Lump Crab Potholes as so many good things were written about it. Unfortunately, mine was over cooked so that the lobster chunks were so tough and lost all its seafood taste. My main dish, Branzino, special of the day, came with spinach and roasted potatoes tasted better. However the skin of the fish was so black due to over grilling and released such a bitter taste at every bite!

Have dined at The Bay House a few times..food was good..nothing exceptional. My last experience was last Saturday..ordered Blackened Grouper. Dry fish and tasteless meal..incredibly disappointed. In all fairness, the un-named, I assume mgr came to the table and asked if I would like another meal. Didn't want to wait another half hour and have staggered meals with my wife..so I declined the offer. Ya think they might of picked up one of my two cocktails..nice ambiance, but food, service...eh.

Update: the pimento does NOT have shrimp in it. There was a mix up with the order and the restaurant reached out apologizing and making it right :)

Fantastic bay views inside and really good service . I wish they would add a little more variety to their lunch menu but we have been multiple times . The seating is spaced out so folks aren't weaving in and out of your table . Love that . It is also a quieter restaurant so you can actually hear your parties conversation . Will continue to come back and highly recommend!

The place and location are outstanding, cozy and beautiful. Amazing view and excellent vibe. The service is good not excellent, however the personnel was indeed very friendly. We were completely shocked when we received our drinks in timely manner. Nonetheless, the cocktails were simply ok. We ordered a Stuffed Olives Dirty Martini, a Mojito and a Bloody Mary, not one was really tasty. Then for our main courses we ordered: Poke, Lobster and Frites, Grouper Special and Seafood Stew. Surprisingly, the flavor was just average. Having that said, this place is completely over rated. If you want
