Bayside Grill and Tavern

[Neko]

Question, You showed up with 3 adults and 9 kids. Did you call ahead and get reservations? IE service was slow,
Do they take them?
Just wondering!!

Enjoyed a great lunch today at the new restaurant. My friend and I had a very good experience. The owner showed us around and the place looks great. Having been in the building in the past, I'm sure it was a big project.

The walls are decorated with a few nice murals and some faux painting, nice colors and a very clean and comfortable appearance overall. Much brighter and the bar area is much more family friendly than before.

The food is similar to their other restaurant, the pinecone. Service was quick and attentive, there was a steady flow of business and we both enjoyed our meal.

They will certainly fill a niche in town providing good quality family fare with a nice atmosphere and I hope they do well.

We went there tonight and were very pleased. We sat on the porch by request. It was quite busy for a Thursday night. As others said, they have spruced it up and the food is much like the Pine Cone with lots of choices. The lighter choices (burgers, etc.) were around 10$ and the meals mostly under $20. I had the quesidillas and they were delicious. I think they were 8.99 aand $4 more if you add the chicken. You could also have steak. The others had fried shrimp and fried clams and they said they were also delicious as were the onion rings. The fried food was served with both onion rings and french fries. I think they were 17.99. The service was great, we didn't wait at all throughout the meal. So, we were all very pleased and will go back. I wish them luck. I think they will do well.

6 of us had a really great meal at 4PM today (Mother's Day). The service was extremely pleasant, however, I think a couple of additional servers would have helped in the 'time' department. I am not complaining at all, the place was very busy, and customers kept coming in waves of large parties.

The Bayside will certainly overtake the Inn, and, for family friendly atmosphere, they will challenge Garwoods. They will eclipse the Front Porch, and certainly Jo Greens. I think Mis En Place and the Restaurant will hold their own for the clientele they gather.

In short, the Bayside is a welcome addition to the restaurant scene in Wolfeboro.

I have to agree with your analysis. Myself, my wife and the kids had dinner there tonight. The hostess and server were wonderful; these folks truly understand customer service. The interior of the restaurant was also greatly improved and much nicer than I anticipated. It is amazing how much better the service is here than at the Tavern. Good luck Bayside! You look like a winner to me.

Sound good. I will get there soon. I just wish it were more like the old Love's Quay. They had some of the best food we ever had in the lakes region.

Ditto! My wife and I loved that place (pun intended). Never understood why it didn't last as it was very popular.

Mike Love and his wife (owners) decided to sell and move on to other opportunities. Don't think it had anything to do with the success, or lack there of, of the restaurant.

Got up to the lake this weekend and Saturday night around 8 we went to Bayside (4 of us). Told it would be about a 30 minute wait, got seated in about 15, ordered drinks right away ordered dinner 10 minutes later. All meals were very good ( steak tips, scallops etc. ). A very good meal for a very fair price. Now Wolfeboro has a place that won't empty your wallet and have good food. Will go back many times across the summer !

Went to Bayside Grill and Tavern on Fathers Day for their Sunday Brunch. The food was excellent and all of the staff were very friendly. Great restaurant at an affordable price.

Stopped in for lunch recently and ate outside overlooking the water. The food was delicious. I like the quiet location of the restaurant as well. Will surely go back soon.

Though I was initially skeptical of this venture I would have to agree with most of the posters on this site that the Bayside Grill is off to an excellent start. Good menu, great staff, wonderfully refreshing prices. You can download the menu from their website: http://www.baysidegrillandtavern.com

I'd really recommend the fried clams which were better than the fried clams I had at an "unnamed" restaurant in Portsmouth (yes, that Portsmouth right on the coast).

Dr Gonzo likes to eat out. 8 posts in a row so far on my screen for restaurants. Another Phantom Gourmet?

My wife and I had friends up last weekend and the four of us went to Bayside for a late lunch on Sunday. It was excellent. The other gentleman and I had burgers that were fantastic – juicy and tasty. My wife had a turkey wrap that she said was delicious and our other guest had the steak tips and raved about them. Erin, our server, and the bartender/hostess, Toni, were friendly, personable and attentive. We sat on the porch and loved the setting. We’ll be back.

Recently friends of mine who don't have internet access asked if I had heard through the forum about any new restaurants that had gotten good reviews. I mentioned the Bayside, and since they used to love 51 Mill Street and Love's Quay, they tried it on Tuesday evening. First, they thought that the prices were a little high considering some of the comments about this place being family friendly. I guess they found that most of the dinners were $20 and up. But the icing on the cake was the fact that bread was $1 extra per person at the table! Even Johnson's and the William Tell gives you good, fresh bread with your dinner. We recently went to the William Tell for the early bird special dinner ($10.95) and the waitress even refilled the basket of Swiss bread for our table of 6. Charging $1 per person for bread for a $20+ dinner is a bit much. The waitress got a little peeved to boot, so needless to say, these people won't be back. They said they would go back to Fratellos and William Tell.

I guess all I can say is you get what you pay for. If you are worrying about $1.00 per person for bread maybe you should stay home and have Mac and Cheese.

This place along with "the Restaurant" in downtown Wolfeboro are excellent.
