Bayview Cafe

The first time I had this breakfast dish I said it was the best breakfast I ever had- Crab Boil Skillet. The flavor is irresistible! Eggs gently cooked. The next time I had it there was a bit too much oil inside the dish and not quite as good as first time, so I think it depends on the cook. When done right, it’s incredible.. excellent flavors.

Today was my first day visiting this restaurant and I don’t think I’ll go back. The service was exceptional, but that could be because it was extremely slow in the restaurant tonight. The food was overpriced for the amount given and the taster was far less than what was expected. I ordered Shrimp and Grits and the Jambalaya and neither tasted like any I have ever ordered. The Shrimp and grits only had three small shrimp, the sauce was great but the grits weren’t to my liking. The Jambalaya was poorly prepped and tasted like badly seasoned dirty rice. There was no other meat that I could identify except shrimp. The Shrimp and Grits had perfect presentation…

Very calm place, it was peaceful eating breakfast there. Stephen, the waiter was excellent. He knew my parents order by heart (they come every 3 or 4 months and ask for him). The best beignets I've ever had! The bacon was thick and not thin. My pancakes were pretty good, not too sweet!

The food wasn't terrible but everything was overcooked. Most of it probably sat around a while constantly getting warmed. We were here on Thanksgiving so hopefully the the janitor just needed a few extra bucks and held things down for the chef. Our waiter had a very strong accent and was hard to understand. He was also very pushy. Once we got pass the waiter, things came out fast and it was hot. Flavors weren't there. Presentation was nice. The restaurant was nice, has a lively atmosphere and it was very clean.

This was our first visit and we were not impressed. Primarily because our server barely said 2 words. We noticed how she treated the other guests at 3 nearby tables and she was very talkative and spoke about the menu and other things. Maybe she was having a bad day and we were next in line to receive her rudeness, and lack of making our first visit inviting. My wife's fries were cold and the bacon on the sandwich was dried out and extra crispy. The bacon appeared to have been under a heat lamp for hours before we arrived. We asked for condiments on the side. The server brought out nasty containers with dried up grease, old mustard and mayo on the outside. However, another server brought out towelettes to clean the containers. Our server never offered refills on our drinks. She didn't even
