    This is my new go to spot for food in the Far Rockaway region of NYC. Great spot for Dominican Food!! The open early at 5am!! Excellent food portions!! All the items here are delicious!! People are nice. If I have to eat here everyday I will do it. Among the top restaurants in the surrounding area. Good for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. I would eat here first before eating anywhere else.

    I threw it out, smh I tried.

    Don't order the chicken soup, specially if you are Dominican and know what good DR food is, you will be disappointed. They need to clean that chicken better, it taste like it's still clucking, fat droplets floating all over, No flavor what so ever! Update that recipe. My friend had the salmon and rice which was good so that's why I'm giving 3 stars. SMH

    This is my to go to spot for lunch while I'm at work, there's always so many options and everything is just delicious!! Their prices are great and never out of hand! They have homemade Chinola juice that is out of this world! And they are so convenient! Never to everything and on the same block from the train, Ralph's been in service for over 20years! And the Sazon has never changed!

    There is valet parking in the front and some outdoor seating…read more The place looks like we were walking into someone's living room with a huge bookcase in the back with books and an all black background Meet The Beatles album cover without the letters with what looked like a white photo negative copy juxtaposed to its left. Nice comfortable motif. Long high tables in the middle shaped like an "L" with regular tables for four along the rear periphery. The service is excellent. Brisket and Ribs, Fish and Chips, The Wedge Salad and Charred Octopus were excellent. The hot lobster roll is alright. I realized that we were here before because of the comfortable ambiance which is unforgettable. My friend enjoys his Martini every time. I have tried neither their signature drinks nor a theme dinner night, nor a live music event. Seems like there are many reasons to come to this place. Excellent presentation and experience for a Gastropub joint. Their menu has something for everyone! Five star for gastropub rating. Great experience every time.

    We visited tonight to celebrate my birthday. The appetizers of Barada and the salad were fantastic…read more For the main course, my partner had a filet mignon steak sandwich, while I had the yardbird. Both dishes were generously portioned and cooked perfectly. The Yardbird came with a side of hot honey, which I enjoyed on the side, and it really enhanced the chicken, which was moist and crispy. For dessert, we shared bread pudding, sliced thin and very delicious.

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!

The bay view creates a relaxing atmosphere. Bathroom was ckean. We ordered cod fish and chips; the cod was decent but unremarkable, and the battered fries weren't to my taste. The shrimp was overly battered with very little shrimp inside, so I sent it back. I'd return for the ambiance and drinks, but not the fish. May be the wings are better there..
