Went to The Bay House with our friends last Friday and determined to try out Lobster & Lump Crab Potholes as so many good things were written about it. Unfortunately, mine was over cooked so that the lobster chunks were so tough and lost all its seafood taste. My main dish, Branzino, special of the day, came with spinach and roasted potatoes tasted better. However the skin of the fish was so black due to over grilling and released such a bitter taste at every bite!

Have dined at The Bay House a few times..food was good..nothing exceptional. My last experience was last Saturday..ordered Blackened Grouper. Dry fish and tasteless meal..incredibly disappointed. In all fairness, the un-named, I assume mgr came to the table and asked if I would like another meal. Didn't want to wait another half hour and have staggered meals with my wife..so I declined the offer. Ya think they might of picked up one of my two cocktails..nice ambiance, but food, service...eh.

Fantastic bay views inside and really good service . I wish they would add a little more variety to their lunch menu but we have been multiple times . The seating is spaced out so folks aren't weaving in and out of your table . Love that . It is also a quieter restaurant so you can actually hear your parties conversation . Will continue to come back and highly recommend!

The place and location are outstanding, cozy and beautiful. Amazing view and excellent vibe. The service is good not excellent, however the personnel was indeed very friendly.
We were completely shocked when we received our drinks in timely manner. Nonetheless, the cocktails were simply ok. We ordered a Stuffed Olives Dirty Martini, a Mojito and a Bloody Mary, not one was really tasty.
Then for our main courses we ordered: Poke, Lobster and Frites, Grouper Special and Seafood Stew. Surprisingly, the flavor was just average. Having that said, this place is completely over rated.

I will stay off by saying that the ambiance here is fantastic. Hidden off of 41 in North Naples. If you didn’t know about it, you would never know it was there. Had a table outside on the front patio. Very quaint. I was in the mood for stone crabs so initially that’s what I asked for. The waiter told me $80 for 1lb. Sure. Let’s live a little and splurge. He said it would be 4 “jumbos” per pound. They came out and at best they were mediums. Instead of explaining that there were no “jumbos”, they brought me an extra claw. Well they were no were near jumbos and no where near a pound

Celebrated my birthday tonight at The Bayhouse. The services was spectacular and the food was delicious! I got the corn and crab bisque which was so creamy! The scallops were cooked to perfection! They brought… out a sweet cake and an adorable Happy Birthday Oyster Shell! I would highly recommend for any occasion! — at The Bay House.

Tonight we went to dinner with friends. What a wonderful night, great company, fantastic views, and good food. For appetizers, we had a tasty Creamy Corn & Crab Bisque with charred corn the complimented the… crab bisque; Crispy Fried Oysters with a great Bayou remoulade; but the winner was the most tender and delicious Grilled Octopus. OMG it was like we were in The Greek Isles. It was served over a Farro salad with roasted red peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, pistachios, fresh herbs, olive oil, feta & sriracha aioli. It was amazing!! For dinner, there was The "Sea BLT" which

A very popular gathering place off the Imperial River. Lovely landscape with outside eating if you wish. Definitely need a reservation. I had a Seafood openface sandwich on a crispy fried croissant. One of our party had a seafood kabob and another had lobster tail. No complaints. Only complaint was we had bread plates but no bread served. At the high prices, it was the only failing. Service was wonderful.

Excellent dinner from start to finish. We were celebrating my birthday and our waitress could not have been nicer. We had the oysters and fried green tomatoes for appetizers. I had the scallops, my friend had the stew and my daughter had chicken fingers.
We sat outside on the deck and had a lovely view of the water and sunset. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a special occasion restaurant.

This place is fancy! Menu looks awesome. Let's eat
Pretty busy and we arrived an hour before our reservation. They were not quite ready for us so we looked to the bar to have a drink before dinner. This was packed as well and you really have to watch for an opening. We snagged a seat about the same time they called us for a table!
Nice one outside with a view of nature. Servers were on point. Water filled, drink orders taken and menus given.
So many good sounding things on the menu. Tough to choose. We landed on the South of Broad to start. This was a fried green tomato stack

The food was amazing and so was the service. I went on July 18th as a birthday dinner. Our waiter Stephanie was amazing and very attentive to our table. We had outdoor seating and it was beautiful! Having the outdoor fans was awesome because we didn't feel the summer heat.
I had the Salmon with cauliflower risotto and spinach! It was cooked to perfection!
Stephanie also made this adorable shell with a happy birthday message! I love it!

My husband chose this restaurant for our anniversary because of the rave reviews. When we arrived they had our seating ready at a cute, secluded table on the deck. The view was absolutely gorgeous! However, be prepared to get quite a few bug bites. The view was worth the bites for us, and upon request the restaurant will give you bug spray.
I started off with a Mocktail, it was refreshing and delicious (beautiful too). We then ordered a half dozen oysters, they were yummy! Now here's where I believe my husband and I messed up, we ordered land at a seafood restaurant. I had the Steak Frites

Absolutely wonderful. Every time I travel with my family to Bonita Springs, we always go to the same restaurants. This time I went with my girlfriend and we explored more. Great that north Naples was only a 10 min drive. This place starts with a scenic parking lot as soon as you pull in, then the vibe, food, and service all blend to make an amazing experience.
Market oysters both East and West coast 5/5 (that mignonette!!)
Tasting of all three ceviches 5/5
Lobster & crab potholes 3/5 (too much butter for me - took away from the quality of the food)
Char-Grilled Octopus 4/5 (the octopus was

Came here back in September and visited for the second time this week. I LOVE this restaurant. We had the pull and peel old bay shrimp and oysters to start. Shrimp nicely done! My dinner plate was the seafood BLT and I loved it so much, I couldn't stop talking about it the next day. We also ordered the lobster and frites which also gets a big thumbs up. Our server was Omar who was so helpful and enjoyable. I will definitely return again so I can reserve seating for the sunset!

From the pictures on the web site, the outdoor seating looked great. However, when we got there we were seated in a lackluster area right next to a stinky swamp. It was hard to sit.
The food was pretty good though. We shared the poke trio. The most interesting part was the watermelon poke which satisfied my "raw" fish craving since I am preggo. It actually tasted just like the real thing. I also had the roasted black cod which melted in your mouth. I ended with the key lime dessert which was a bit too tart.
The food was good but the atmosphere was lacking (at least where we were seated

A stellar restaurant! I have nothing bad to say about this place and I am never disappointed. The only thing is that I wish I could get a reservation more often and more easily on the beautiful back deck! I love eating in the tavern, the garden/patio, and back deck! The Violeta Fizz is hands down my favorite drink - must try! The steak and frites is also a classic. And the house made cornbread! I have been several times and always had outstanding service from staff (hostess/bartender/waitstaff). They always go out of their way to make the experience personalized, fun, and welcoming!

A fabulous find on our trip with many interesting creations as it was hard to decide what to order. I did order the petite filet with fried oysters and fingerling potatoes. The steak was cooked perfect and the oysters had a nice light batter with a tasty roumalard sauce. We added to our order the local farmer salad which was super fresh and my husband enjoyed fresh raw oysters. The chef also gave tables a taster of a lovely cream of broccoli soup. Everything people ordered looked fabulous and was wishing I was a local so I could be back soon.
