Sunday is our day to be Grateful... and that we are!
Share what you are grateful for this month... we'd love to share your joy.

We are grateful to Phyllis for her 5 star review on OpenTable. "Quaint" does seem to suit us well, with our intimate dining room surrounded by stained glass, antiques, and artwork displayed by local artists.
Thank you, Ian, for your gracious descriptive words, "fantastic" "outstanding" and "great"... we will be happy to see and serve you again soon.
Note: That's two "outstandings" on our Bay Street Bistro food. We feel grateful and warm hearted for each person who takes the time to share your high praise.
We are grateful for a new positive addition to our kitchen staff, which we will share about soon.

We hope all of you will find your own gratefulness in your lives as the month of June wraps up. We look forward to seeing and serving you all well during the month of July, celebrating all of us during the 250th year as the United States of America.

Amber nectar... what a apropos name for such brewed delicacies... don't you think?
You'd like BEER with your dining experience instead of wine? We've got you!

Which type of "laughing water" activates YOUR taste buds best...
Crispy, Hazy, or Dark?

I know, I know... so many choices of hops-juice, so little time...

Our Bay Street Bistro also has several delicious options that are low or no alcohol, if you'd like that refreshing taste without the buzz.

Once you share your brewed flavor of the day, peruse our menu options to complement it on OpenTable when making your reservations.

May I suggest the Roast Duck with Bacon Confit. Charlie says that's the best combo with his crispy ale... or the Beef Wellington... or the Pork Shank Osso Bucco... or...

Well, he simply likes COLD Beer and FABULOUS Flavors. How about you?

Question overheard at our tables: Is this an APPETIZER or DESSERT?

This rich and indulgent brie cheese, is served melty and creamy, and smothered with a jam-y compote, filled with fresh blueberries, created onsite.
Our French baguettes are also made in house, then sliced and toasted upon your order to provide a crisp savory base as a conveyance to your taste buds.

We have it on our menu as an APPETIZER... what do you think?
