    Food is great. We had a food allergy which made the dinner service very slow. Evidently they had a bunch of allergy orders at once and the chef has to meet with each table and bring out the food. It would be nice if there is no food with the allergen service could go back to normal. Arrived at 6 and didn’t leave until after 8:30. Food was great though and we would go back!

    Refreshing to enjoy appetizer, salad, and entree that were prepared with seasonings rather than just a lot of butter, cream or salt. On the pricey side, so best for special occasions. Bay Street Bistro is a gem.

    The food was very, very good. Server was pleasant, although she did forget to bring a side of shrimp for my steak and brough it later. We chose a variety from the menu and all of it was cooked perfectly and tasted great. We will definitely visit here again when in town.

    Thanksgiving dinner at Eaglebrooke has become a tradition for the two of us. Food is very good. You can get a traditional Thanksgiving meal, or branch out and get something different. Many choices. We asked for, and got, a window table and our view overlooking the lake was wonderrful. Seating and service were prompt and attentive. While pricy, the prices are reasonable for such an occasion, much less expensive than the The Terrace, for example.
