" Bay Street Bistro is definitely a nice spot for a date night. The food was tasty and the portions were reasonable for the price. The ambiance was nice for a romantic dinner. However, I wish they had offered more vegetarian options on the menu. Overall, I would recommend it for a casual night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I found ourselves looking for a cozy dining spot and Bay Street Bistro did not disappoint. The food was generally good! I indulged in the stuffed Portobello, while my friend enjoyed the beef Wellington. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a girls' night. I’d happily return to explore more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bay Street Bistro offers an eclectic menu with many unique dishes. I had the stuffed mushroom as an appetizer, and it was extraordinary! The main course of duck lacked seasoning but was well cooked nonetheless. Overall, pleasant environment but could use some refinements in flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I had a lovely anniversary dinner here. The ambiance was intimate and romantic, ideal for special occasions. I had the seafood vol-au-vent, which was delightful despite some overcooking on the pastry. Our server was wonderful, checking up on us often without being intrusive. The dessert was a standout—definitely save room for it! Our only suggestion would be to improve on the pacing between courses. Overall, a memorable night! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been looking forward to dining at Bay Street Bistro, given the high praise it receives. Unfortunately, my experience wasn't as great as expected. The pasta was overcooked, and my dish lacked the flavor I anticipated. The service was polite but slow. The atmosphere is charming, but the food needs to be more consistent. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Bay Street Bistro was ok but not memorable. The food was satisfactory, albeit a bit pricey for what was served. The ambiance was nice but not enough to redeem the meal. I probably won’t return unless I hear significantly improved reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" We picked this bistro based on its excellent reviews and we weren't disappointed. The menu offered many enticing options. My husband loved the duck! The environment was lovely, intimate, and perfect for quiet dinner conversations. The service was attentive, and we had a lovely time! We will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
