This was exactly what we were looking for, for our lunch. On the water, fresh catch of the day, outdoor seating….and delicious!!! He had the grouper (something ) I had shrimp marinara. The house dressing on the salad (it is extra cost for salad, but worth it) was really good, even tho it was a little spicy, it was good! And the homemade French silk pie…wow!!!

Looking at the outside of this place and you might not be impressed. However once inside things turn in the opposite direction. The service was excellent. The waiter was knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Even made wine suggestions. The food was also really good. Classic French style. Could have easily had 3-4 different entrees. Excellent place to go for a date night, celebration, or a good time with friends. Le plus beau!

I had the pleasure of experiencing Bay Cafe last evening on my birthday. The menu is very appealing. The food is exceptional! The staff are welcoming, professional, and efficient. The atmosphere is peaceful and intimate without being stuffy. If I could give this little gem a “10” I certainly would. Do yourself a favor…and be prepared to REALLY enjoy a great experience!

We absolutely love coming to this place. The Sea Bass is always a must here and is always cooked perfectly! The Duck tonight was absolutely delicious!!! Make sure you leave room for dessert! The service is always great and we always love when our server is Shawna as she always takes great care of us.. We can’t wait for Sunday Brunch on the porch again! Make sure to ask to sit outside and enjoy the spectacular views! A must for anyone visiting Fort Walton Beach.

A lot I could say about this place. The food was decent, albeit a little sloppy. Side salad consisted of bagged lettuce and one tiny half moon tomato. Dressing selection? There is only one, but it was remarkably good. I had the grilled amberjack croissant. Same sauce as the salad dressing… I think. Bread, fish, and cheese… was made better by adding the lettuce from the salad for a little texture. Tasty, just without texture. For $19 I’m looking for a little more effort.

Consistently great food. Love their chicken picatta. French onion soup is yummy and absolutely THE best creme brulee for dessert. Service is always impeccable and it’s a great place for a romantic dinner or a girlfriend’s lunch whether on the patio over the water or inside in the AC.

Lovely scenery, good dessert, poor service and overpriced entrees. The French onion soup wasn’t bad but it just didn’t taste like French onion, whatsoever. All of the food was really salty, and average at best. The reason I’m giving one star is because of the rude comments from the waiter. I told him I didn’t like the Wellington and that it tasted salty to me, my friend said she wanted what I had. He has the nerve to tell her “I can’t waste another dish, she already said she didn’t like it and you probably won’t like it either.” What a joke! Great silk pie though!

Our friends took us there and what a great find right on the water with a great view of the bridge, docks and bay. Great outdoor seating the waitress was fantastic and we had a great meal and drinks. Three of us had one of the special’s Triggerfish in such yummy sauce with smashed potatoes and green beans. My wife had the Shrimp Salad and she loved it. We had the Tiramisu and Apple Tart which were fantastic. So be for lunch and some drinks or dinner they do a great job!
