The service involved many different people. I am still not quite sure who my main server was. 20 minutes elapsed before our food order was taken. After a long wait, the three sandwiches ordered ranged from nearly burned to hardly toasted. A long night overall. Likely that the servers were doing the best they could but it seemed as if the restaurant was understaffed.

Birthday dinner week of Christmas, very few patrons and the food and service were amazing. We had steak Diane and my husband raved about it and I had the salmon that was delicious and cooked perfectly! Service was on point!

While the whitefish, salmon and chowder were all very good, we really miss the escargot, perch filets and chicken dijon dishes.

We love to dine at any of the Stafford restaurants and the Pier is one of our favorite. We stopped in prior to the Holiday Open House and enjoyed their chowder, pear arugula gorgonzola salad, and Waygu burger. Staff is always awesome and friendly. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend dining here.

Thanksgiving dinner was a big disappointment. Service very slow and food bad from start to finish. Way overpriced. Will not try that again.

We really loved our dinners and drinks, the staff were all wonderful, and as this was our 20 th anniversary treated us to a dessert on the house, which was so good. Thanks for a wonderful dinner and evening. We would eat here again, white fish dinner and salmon dinner with cocktails 💚💚💚

Not a fan of the new menu. It is missing favorite items that have been staples over the years including perch and pasta. I'm hoping this is just temporary.

Generous portion of perfectly cooked white fish with excellent sides, and nicely arranged. Service was exemplary. This is been true throughout my Stafford experience. Staying at the Bay View Inn.
