    Time for an early dinner. So i went safe and had a Ruben. it was good but needed Russian dressing to make it right. in the end it turned out right. Great view of the ferry's.

    I would not say that this is the best restaurant option in town, but we really enjoyed our lunch there! On a cloudy Saturday we went on foot on the ferry to PT with our dog. A lot of fun walking around etc but finding a place to eat with him in tow AND find a nice view outside is not as easy amongst all the great choices around town. Bayview has a tiny outdoor patio at the ferry dock end of the building that is quite rudimentary. The planter boxes could use our gardening prowess! But they were so gracious to help us including a Senior citizen that doesn't walk as good to the patio that was all ours to sit and watch the ferry ops and sailboats "on the hook" in the bay. It's a family owned place by I think a Korean family and their teenage sons help out wonderfully. Our server was a really nice local young lady that took good care of us and checked in though we were way out there from the regular dining room. There was a huge doubled up table of a family of 12 or more that were taken care of well and so many booths with great window views inside. Think sort of dated bar/cafe vibe with good food and staff. I saw what others were eating when going through and it all looked great! I ordered a French dip and fries. Probably one of the best dips I've had in a while with tasty roast beef!! The wife tried it too and liked it. The fries large steak fries and good Jus! The ladies split a large bowl of clam chowder and they liked it! I won't eat that but it looked good enough to and big chunks of potato with saltines. They then ordered the fried oysters plate with fries and Cole slaw. Oysters fried to perfection. From this meal and what I saw others eating inside, this place knows how to fry food without it being greasy!! The Cole slaw so simple but tasty!! We all tried it. Cabbage, carrots, mayo, had a hint of orange flavor. The menu had so many other things I'd jump on including fish and chips, great burgers and other entrees and large salads. I'd eat here in a heartbeat. Thanks Bayview for making our Saturday lunch in town chill and tasty!

    The menu is embarrassingly dated, like a hold over from the 1980s. Sausage or bacon or ham in every egg dish unless you like oysters instead. I appreciate minimalism, but there's really no effort at catering to a 21st century, vegetarian forward palate. The egg dishes were mediocre. The hash browns were not crispy nor juicy, rather they seemed raw and undercooked. I got the veggie 3 egg omlette, which was passable and dull. I skipped the coffee it seemed like it had scalded from sitting on a burner too long. The most fantastic dining views right on the water, however, the kitchen trotting out 1950s-era plates, and even botching up hash browns, is just a terrible sad use of space.

    Visited Bay View Restaurant in Port Townsend for the first time with family, and it was a lovely experience! The restaurant offers a beautiful view, perfect for a relaxing meal. The parking lot is small, but we managed to find a spot since it was early for breakfast. We seated ourselves, and the staff was great--friendly and attentive. Our breakfast was good, though we kept it simple with basic options. I also tried the Bloody Mary, which was quite enjoyable. Looking forward to returning to try out their lunch or dinner menu!

    My husband and I along with our group of friends decided to have an early dinner together here over the weekend and the service was hands down the best we've experienced. There was one server in particular who was helping our party (wish I got his name, but he was Caucasian with no hair and wore glasses), and he made taking everyone's order and cashing us out so smooth and easy! Also, his demeanor and hospitality was very kind and professional, we greatly appreciated him! The food selection was great, my husband was thrilled to have found out their special was prime rib so he got himself that and I ordered the blackened salmon. My fish was on the dry side and veggies were really salty, however the mashed potatoes and salad were flavorful and good. We would've loved to have ordered dessert but we're so full. Our friend ordered the brownie boat and strawberry shortcake which we clgot to try a little of and it was so good. If we're ever in the area again we'd love to come back here again!

    Located a bit down the road from downtown Port Townsend, the old-school diner style Bayview is a great breakfast stop. - Full menu. - Great waterfront views. - Friendly service. recommended.

    I had lunch at Bayview Restaurant today. I hadn't been there in a long time, and it didn't seem as good as I remember. The clam chowder was fine, but it wasn't great. The western burger was fine, but it wasn't great. I asked for plain water instead of lemon water, and it was pretty tepid. If you don't want lemon, I guess you don't get ice. I should have just asked for some, but I felt bad sending him back after I had already sent for regular water. I assumed there would be ice just like with the first glass of water. I appreciated that he offered me extra sauce right up front, and I took him up on it. The barbecue sauce was delicious. I was offered dessert, and I decided to order the raspberry rhubarb pie to go. It was very good, but I gather that they don't have it all the time. The view was beautiful, but overall, it was a pretty average experience.

    Great views, good food, fair prices, and hospitable service. I'd recommend this place for sure.

    I've been going to the Bayview for as long as I can remember. I've always had good food there and the services is great. I've never had a bad experience. I love their clam chowder and they have homemade type pies. ait has a beautiful view of Port Townsend Bay

    Food and service have always been exemplary at this restaurant. Good view of the bay area for watching the coming and goings of the ferry.

    Took 12 people to lunch there today, it took us 20 minutes to get a cup of coffee 30 minutes to get…read moreour orders taken and almost an hour before we get our food served. Other people sitting next to us were served long before we were. Waitresses seemed to not care that we were waiting so long and despite asking about coffee multiple times it took them that long to get the coffee to our table . We were on the verge of leaving 50 minutes in when the first of our food started arriving . A number of people in the group were really upset how long it had taken to get food and asked me if we should just get up and leave. We know we were a big group, but we had made the effort to come by personally ask an hour before we even came whether it was OK that we came with that large a group and we were assured it would be. Food was a mixed bag french fries were no good according to two who had them much of the rest of it was ok.. We've taken this group here every single year for almost 10 years but we won't be back. No one in the group wanted to ever come back. This is a big change from last year . I'm a local and have eaten here maybe once a month for years and I've decided it's over for me too. We just gave them a huge amount of money that they likely rarely get at one sitting and we felt like we were being treated like they could care less that we were there.
