Game is a specialty, including venison loin and...

Love this place. Excellent food. Nice atmosphere. Great music. We go often. You've got to give this place a try. Good place for friends to have drinks and dinner or just drinks and appetizers in the bar.
Bayside is one of our OC favorites! We try to go at least once every other month! The oysters in season are great as well as the crab cakes. The pepper fillet and the venison is outstanding. The gnocchi is mouthwatering! Oh the desserts....the banana bread pudding is so good, as well as the creme brule. The staff is very attentive as well. If you are a veggie eater, they will do whatever you...

The drinks were all so tasty as well. We plan on going...
