Most Disliked
Some patrons have noted that the food, while good, often lacks seasoning; this is especially true for some of the traditional bar grub. This critique highlights a desire for bolder flavors in certain dishes. Additionally, service can get stretched thin during peak dining hours, particularly on Fridays. Guests have mentioned that the bar gets crowded quickly during these times, leading to longer wait times. While the establishment prides itself on cleanliness, occasional busy days may result in a slightly less tidy ambiance. These minor hiccups do not detract significantly from the overall experience but are worth considering for those with specific expectations of service and flavor intensity.

We are staying at the State Park. Needed something to eat and relax. Picked Bay View Bar & Grill by reviews and seemed to be a nice local place. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and overall cleanliness of the place. Ordered a 4 piece fish plate thinking it would be whitefish. Surprisingly it was perch and they were good sized. Highly recommend this stop. We were very pleased. Service was good too. 😁

Food is good, but lacked seasoning. Typical bar food. The server was a 10. She did whole bar by herself, great job. Nice local bar.

I was pleasantly surprised how clean the bar was! The two wonderful ladies working were on their game, same with the kitchen. I had the perch sandwich and it was perfect (minus it missing the top bun at first, but was quickly remidied) I was very happy. This place has really taken a change for the better! This is my hometown and it's great to find places doing well. My regards to the kitchen for their work as well. Cheers!
