   Nice view, polite service. Quite slow to get food. With meals - pasta - were surprisingly bland, given what was in the dishes. Definitely on the expensive side. Good wine selection

   The food was perfect, the view is outstanding, and the service was great. It was pretty noisy, but all in all, it was a perfect evening.

   We celebrated my Opa's 90th birthday at Bayside tonight, and it was a truly memorable experience. The food was excellent, and the background music was at the perfect volume, creating a lovely atmosphere. Thank you for helping us make his special day so wonderful!

   The waiter had a great sense of humor. The view is so relaxing and the best in Parksville.

   We booked a table for the Easter Brunch featuring roast lamb. The lamb was tough and inedible. The crispy beans were soft and limp. The tomato basil soup was delicious but there were no bowls so we had to ask for some. The cheese tea biscuits were tasty. After the disappointment about the lamb we had a fresh made omelette which was very nice and fluffy with bacon on the side. I asked if there was any salt or pepper. I was told it was on the table. I pointed out that none of the tables had salt or pepper on them. My partner had some salmon but it was luke-warm. After my main, I went in search of dessert but there was very little on the table. I asked a server if there was any more dessert and was told they had run out of red velvet cake and tiramisu. There were a few muffins and some two-bite brownies which did not look very appealing. I was disappointed that there was so little dessert left when paying for a buffet. I asked if there was coffee or tea instead of dessert and our server indicated it was not included in the buffet price. Adults $56/Seniors $42. This was the most expensive breakfast I have ever had and it was disappointing. The location of the Bayside and view, however, are always magnificent.

   The variety of items on the Easter Buffet was amazing and so tasty. So many breakfast items to offer specially the omelet station. Great salads, soup, various breads/biscuits and amazing salmon, lamb (according to my husband), beef stew and roasted potatoes, rice and roasted green beans. Fresh fruit and vegetables and an amazing choice of desserts along with your wonderful cucumber/lime water. This is the third time we've come to your brunch and we will definitely be back. Fabulous service too!!

    A very good meal. The beef short-rib was excellent as always, my spuose loved her halibut, and our guest's steak was very good (although the tough piece of gristle on first bite was a surprise). The ambiance was very good, quiet with soft and tasteful music wafting through. And then of course, there's the view. It can't be beat!

    Thank you for the lovely feedback! We're so glad you all enjoyed your meals and the peaceful ambiance—there’s nothing like dining with that ocean view. We appreciate the note about the steak and will pass it along to the kitchen. Hope to see you again soon!
