What a wonderful Gem!!! This was my first time here. This place has a wonderful history and was relocated from Lincoln City. Now located in Dayton, Oregon oh my!! Our service was wonderful, (Thanks Steve) our food was exquisitely Delicious... The finest of dinning I have ever been to, but I didn't feel out of place what so ever!! If you want a beautiful date night or even a wonderful couples evening I would suggest The Bay House!!

My husband and I chose this place to celebrate his birthday, and it turned out to be an experience we will always remember. From the moment we arrived, the staff made him feel genuinely special and went out of their way to make the night feel celebratory and personal. The service was thoughtful, attentive, and warm throughout the entire evening. The drinks were absolutely delicious, beautifully crafted, and paired perfectly with each course. We enjoyed multiple courses, each one feeling intentional, well paced, and full of flavor. Nothing felt rushed, and every detail was handled with care. It was clear that the team truly values hospitality and creating memorable experiences for their guests. This was not just a meal but a full dining experience, and it was the perfect way to celebrate su

Steve and Maureen found this location of a historic church from the 1880s and renovated it to make it feel warm and welcoming, but also very high end with an approachable feel. Steve and Maureen work closely with Executive Chef Nathan Bates (who has an amazing resume), to look at farm to table and what is in season. You have the ability to do a-la-carte or the full chef menu. Portion sizes are impressive and wine pairings are available or you can work with them to make your own tastes. I have done my last two Birthday dinners there and leave feeling full and appreciative of the great meal/experience you get. Maureen, Steve, and Nathan want to show everyone that a "Bay House experience" is well worth the price and that you leave happy/satisfied. I try to go there about once a quarter.

We had an amazing time at their Iterum winemakers dinner! The wine was divine and Nathan’s food superb! Steve and Maureen have a great thing going at The Bay House. I’ve been a loyal customer and friend for over 20 years and we’re already looking forward to our next trip to Dayton.

★★★★★ 5.0 Linli Pao · Aug 2025

The new restaurant is beautifully done. The food program is just as beautiful as before. The service is stellar. The proteins are truly the star of the show, as well as dessert. Would highly recommend for celebrations and date nights. Wine can be purchased by the glass, or by the bottle.
