    Phenomenal, in every way! The entire space is stunning, inviting, and so relaxing. Every member of the staff was so engaging and genuine. Our server, Meagan, was amazing. She was so helpful and always there if we needed something but gave us all the space and time to enjoy our experience without interruption. The cocktails were fantastic, perfectly balanced and delicious. The food was incredible! We had the sourdough bread, little gem salad, oysters and the duck. Would get every single item again, but none more so than the oysters. Absolutely unforgettable. Must order! We loved everything and can’t wait to return. Thank you, Meagan and the whole staff and chefs!!

    Hamchi crudo appetizer was so fresh and flavors melded together well. Black cod had a seared crust and perfectly cooked along with crème fraiche and beet mashed potatoes The pork chop was about 2” thick with mushroom bread pudding. All beautifully prepared and presented.

    We went with friends for a special occasion and had a wonderful experience. First time at Bay View restaurant. Our dinners were outstanding!!! I had the coq au vin, one person ordered the cedar planked salmon and two ordered the braised short ribs. The portions are generous and the presentation is really beautiful. The oysters appetizer plate was presented beautifully too. The service was wonderful- very pleasant, attentive but not hovering. The space is lovely- fireplace, white linen cloths, a rose on each table, nice lighting. And a full bar. We were really glad we’d decided to go here for this special holiday get-together and will definitely be back. This gem needs to be supported!!! Don’t miss the gingerbread Bodega display created by the very talented chef.
