Bayside - Petoskey

Very friendly, helpful staff, really good diner menu, food is excellent, diners note what is being served nearly.

Bayside has very good food! Some wonderful breakfast items, featuring unique twists on classics. Lunch offerings are burgers and sandwiches and salads, all made with fresh ingredients and masterfully prepared. So why the low rating? When we entered, the restaurant only had a few customers. It's not a huge place, but those who were there were in the booths along one side. In the middle were several square tables seating four. Along the other side of the room were a couple of round high top tables. We came in with four adults and two children, a five year old and an almost two year old. We asked to have the square tables put together. We were told they couldn't do that. We could either divide up or they could put the two round high tops together. We had driven a long way to visit with these people, and did not want to divide up. But a high top table for kids especially one still using a booster was just silly. We were never given a reason why the square tables could not be put together. There were no customers sitting in the center area, and actually pushing two tables together would have made more room for serving around the tables. The five year old ended up slipping off the high stool and falling. No injury, but it was totally unnecessary since we could have been seated together at the lower tables pushed together. Would I go back? Probably. But next time I'll be a little more Karen about the whole thing and leave if they can't accommodate a party of six with two kids.

Breakfast date! Mason jars! Good food, bring your girlfriend here. Friendly and legit service. Sonya was very nice and I will come back.

My boyfriend and I were looking for breakfast places around and we saw Bayside Restaurant right away when searching for places to eat. They were busy but the service was great, the food was good, and the atmosphere is good. Sonya, Mat, and their host/busser were super friendly and welcoming! Thank you for a good service! I highly recommend this place!

Great place to grab a breakfast! Food was DELICIOUS. Specifically, The Traditional Eggs Benedict was worth writing home about. : I hope to come here again. We are just visiting Petoskey. The service was great! Very friendly staff!! Refreshing to have such nice service. It was a little bit of a wait but it was really worth it. They had only 3 servers today. The were not slacking. All the food brought out looking amazing! I can see why the place was busy. The locals must love it. The pancakes were as big as the plate!! The facility was very clean and the restaurant is located right on the harbor. A lovely location. You need to eat here!!
