  Arrived at 5:45pm on a Thursday to eat dinner before a 7:30 boat cruise - figured we’d have plenty of time…ordered 5 drinks, 1 appetizer, 2 adult entrees and 3 kids meals right away. Fast forward to 6:50 and we still have no appetizer or meals and weren’t checked on once. Food showed up at 7 and it was barely warm. Would be a little more understanding if it were busy, but there were only 4 other tables occupied. Avoid like the plague.

  It was all right. We waited for 40 minutes to get a table and watch people get placed ahead of us. And that really kind of set the tone. They were out of a lot of things on the menu.But what they had was pretty good.

  We decided to go and get drinks at the bar downstairs outside, was told the wait for a table was 30 minutes, so we waited, finally got the table for 4 of us, we ordered an appetizer, it was the Cajun dip, we received the app 30 minutes later and it came out cold, the service was very slow, we were going to order meals but decided not to because it would probably be an hour before we would get and saw other tables waiting even longer for there food even when we received our only appetizer, we even went to land shark before hand was told 30 minute wait and we sat at the bar and waited 20 minutes to be even recognized by the only sole bartender, looked around the restaurant and I was thinking why 30 minutes when there was hardly anyone there in the mid afternoon, I have to say as a former line cook and manager there looked like no management were around at both places, I am sorry about this review, wish it would have been better, as a local that I have not been to Bayside in 30 years plus, I would not return at all. I hope you all make it and do better down the road as it seems that both restaurants cater to the tourist that don't know better and will eat what they can get wh I le they walk around. Again wish I had a better experience, will not be back again, the management should really focus on the food product and the wait time......

  The service here really leaves much to be desired. After sitting down, we were not given a menu within the first five minutes. When my partner asked for a menu, he was shooed away by our waiter, even though the menus were right behind him. When he asked again minutes later, he was told to wait. Once we were finally given our menus and decided what we wanted to drink, our waiter then made a gesture for us to wait again. We ended up being helped out a few times by another much friendlier gentleman that was working with him. Once we got our drinks and requested to pay, our waiter took my card and added himself a 20% tip that he calculated AFTER taxes and not before as is standard protocol, netting himself a few extra dollars in the process. To be quite frank, the service was so terrible from this man that I wouldn’t have tipped anything, as we had just gotten two drinks anyways. This was my first time at a Magaritaville and I have to say between the relatively weak margarita (not much tequila was inside in my opinion) and the diabolical service, I don’t envision myself returning.
