Fortunately, the food was delicious and service was impeccable. We ordered 4 entrées to share and enjoyed everything. My favorite was the Half-Baked Chicken. The skin was so crispy and the chicken so tender. The Braised Short Rib was also really good and the crispy Brussels sprouts that come with it were the perfect amount of crispy. The other dishes we ordered were good too. We finished everything down to the last grain of rice.

The floral displays are fun and are probably the highlight of the visit. The space is clearly designed for photos, and I can see why it would be popular for birthdays, showers, or other special occasions. They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.

My fellow yelpie Jeannie has been raving about their duck à la pressie for ages and we finally organized an outing so she can share her love of Tourmaline and the duck with us. Thank you Jeannie. The duck in itself deserves an award. You can tell that Yvan the head chef and owner has put so much detail into creating this magnificent dish for his customers. From picking the perfect farm to order the duck from in PA, to purchasing the machinery for churning out the sauce from the bones and internals of the duck, to incorporating different aspects of duck preparations from different cultures (French Normandy, Chinese roast duck) and teaching to Daniel in the city for some tips. You know Yvan has put his heart and soul into this one dish. I love how this dish is prepared table side by the chef himself with so many different stories and presentations. He starts off the duck with a serving of the perfect tot crispy skin served with his seasonal sauce. We had rhubarb. We were the stars of the room with everyone envying us. I can't recommend this experience enough. Worth every penny! In addition to the duck, we ordered some apps, salad and a fish dish. The seasonal cocktail Noveau Peach so refreshing and delish and dessert wine was a perfect accompaniment to the desserts. The atmosphere or the restaurant was cozy and high end. Lots of couples on cute romantic dates. The owners Yvan and Rebecca are the sweetest. I met Rebecca at our building bbq that they catered and she was just so lovely. Mentioned to her that we were going to see her the following week and she remembered me. Definitely check out Tourmaline. A true gem in FH and so happy to have them here.

We started with the calamari, which was delicious, and even the bread they brought out was so fresh and warm. For dinner, I got the spicy rigatoni and added shrimp, and it was absolutely amazing. My date got the short rib pappardelle and loved his as well. We finished with the cheesecake, and this is where I have to give a huge shoutout to our waitress, Amanda. She was incredible from start to finish -- attentive, sweet, charismatic, funny, and just genuinely made the whole experience that much better. When we ordered dessert, she told us she was going to find us an awesome, big piece of cheesecake and asked which drizzle we wanted -- raspberry, chocolate, or caramel. Naturally, I said, "Give me all the drizzle," and she immediately said, "You got it." When she came back, she told us she didn't think she was able to find us a big enough piece, so she was taking the dessert off the bill. Meanwhile, we were looking at the cheesecake thinking the portions were completely fine! It was such a sweet and unnecessary gesture, and the cheesecake itself was delicious. The Harrison already has great food and such a nice vibe, but Amanda really made the experience memorable. She's the main reason I wanted to go out of my way to leave a review. I'll definitely be back!

Hostess offered us a seat near the windows, which was kind. Positive: Food was great! We loved everything we ate. Started with the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice (3 in an order). It came to the table hot and fresh. PLEASE squeeze the lime on there if you order this, it takes it over the edge. We then split the Caesar salad with chicken ($10 surcharge for chicken), and it was fantastic. We also split the burger, and while it came out more well done than median rare it was delicious. Did not care for the ranch at all. Only reason this is 4 stars is because it seemed they were down cooks in the kitchen; the food took 45 minutes to get there. We sat down around 7:50 PM, ordered our starter immediately, and it did not come until 8:33 PM. Our kind server did bring us a complimentary bread basket which saved us. They were also out of two of the wines requested. All restaurants have off days, so we would return again next time we stay at the hotel. Food was great, and service was kind.

The first thing you notice is that getting there feels like navigating a maze since it's tucked away in a secluded location. But the moment you walk through the doors, you're welcomed by a warm, relaxing atmosphere that instantly feels like home. You're always greeted with a friendly smile and a genuine "Hello, welcome!" The food is consistently outstanding, and the drinks are always on point. I have to give a special shoutout to our favorite server, Elaine. She is always approachable, kind, and makes us feel like family. Every visit feels personal--she remembers us, asks how we've been, and even knows our usual orders before we ask. That level of service is rare and truly appreciated. One of my favorite parts of dining here is sitting outside by the water. Watching the planes fly low overhead creates a unique atmosphere that almost makes you feel like you're traveling. I absolutely love Bayhouse and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food, exceptional service, and a relaxing waterfront dining experience. It's a hidden gem that's well worth the visit!

If I knew I would have ordered a martini from the happy hour menu. I ordered a few espresso martinis which wasn't under the $10 martini happy hour deal. It was a very good espresso martini. I also ordered a few appetizers, again I wasn't aware of the happy hour on weekends so the chicken parm sliders were $10 for happy hour, the meatballs weren't. Both appetizers were very good. I wasn't looking for a whole meal as I was going to a show at UBS and knew I couldn't bring leftovers to the arena, so I will get back soon to try more. The seats at the bar are very comfortable, but they are low seats so it may take a couple of drinks to make it feel like you don't need a booster seat. They're open late night as well which is great.
