Sunday is our day to be Grateful... and that we are!
Share what you are grateful for this month... we'd love to share your joy.

We are grateful to Phyllis for her 5 star review on OpenTable. "Quaint" does seem to suit us well, with our intimate dining room surrounded by stained glass, antiques, and artwork displayed by local artists.
Thank you, Ian, for your gracious descriptive words, "fantastic" "outstanding" and "great"... we will be happy to see and serve you again soon.
Note: That's two "outstandings" on our Bay Street Bistro food. We feel grateful and warm hearted for each person who takes the time to share your high praise.
We are grateful for a new positive addition to our kitchen staff, which we will share about soon.

We hope all of you will find your own gratefulness in your lives as the month of June wraps up. We look forward to seeing and serving you all well during the month of July, celebrating all of us during the 250th year as the United States of America.

Amber nectar... what a apropos name for such brewed delicacies... don't you think?
You'd like BEER with your dining experience instead of wine? We've got you!

Which type of "laughing water" activates YOUR taste buds best...
Crispy, Hazy, or Dark?

I know, I know... so many choices of hops-juice, so little time...

Our Bay Street Bistro also has several delicious options that are low or no alcohol, if you'd like that refreshing taste without the buzz.

Once you share your brewed flavor of the day, peruse our menu options to complement it on OpenTable when making your reservations.

May I suggest the Roast Duck with Bacon Confit. Charlie says that's the best combo with his crispy ale... or the Beef Wellington... or the Pork Shank Osso Bucco... or...

Well, he simply likes COLD Beer and FABULOUS Flavors. How about you?

Question overheard at our tables: Is this an APPETIZER or DESSERT?

This rich and indulgent brie cheese, is served melty and creamy, and smothered with a jam-y compote, filled with fresh blueberries, created onsite.
Our French baguettes are also made in house, then sliced and toasted upon your order to provide a crisp savory base as a conveyance to your taste buds.

We have it on our menu as an APPETIZER... what do you think?

Check out all our appetizers and entrees on OpenTable when you make your reservations for an extraordinary fine dining experience.

"...outstanding... We will definitely go back!"
Shannon, we appreciate your 5 star review on OpenTable, and so pleased everyone "seemed to enjoy everything tremendously." last Saturday night.
You chose some of our menu favorites, and we appreciate your feedback about the Seafood Vol Au Vent and it's richness. We do our best to listen to our customers, and I will pass this along to Chef Kevin.
Although you didn't add pictures, these pictures seemed to capture and highlight at least most of your authentic conversation. We look forward to having you come back to join us soon.

"WOW!" Connie and Alan, you rock! 😊
Thanks for your 5 star review on OpenTable. We are pleased and humbled to hear such positive feedback from your experience last Saturday, and we know your authentic voice speaks louder than ours to the ears of those who haven't experienced our restaurant yet.
That is awesome that you were able to experience the unique chef's special of the Sea Bass with Lobster. You just never know what Chef Kevin has created for a weekend special. And the Seafood Vol-au-Vent is a menu favorite! We're glad you came in and found it all to your liking. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
