" A beautiful gem in Fort Walton! We had dinner at Bay Cafe recently and the entire experience was exceptional. The grilled fish was fresh and perfectly cooked, which is often hard to find. The service was attentive yet laid-back, making us feel welcomed without being rushed. We loved our desserts too! Will definitely be returning with friends soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for authentic French flavors, Bay Cafe is the place to be! My experience there exceeded expectations. The chef clearly knows how to handle fresh seafood. I ordered the crab cakes and was amazed by how good they were. The service was attentive and accommodating, making our dining experience even better. Save room for dessert; the crème brûlée is a must! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Bay Cafe last week and ordered the grouper. It was delightful! The seasoning was just right, and the fish was fresh. The atmosphere is cozy and casual, which adds to the appeal. Service was decent, but we did have to wait a bit for our food. I’ll certainly return to try more of their dishes, especially after hearing how good their crepes are! " (*Curated Review*)
