The atmosphere is amazing--peaceful, calm, beautiful, and the perfect setting for a relaxing dinner. The service was great from start to finish. We started with the Thai chicken wraps, the Jon the 2nd Roll, and a special appetizer with shrimp and whipped goat cheese. Everything was delicious! For dinner, the coconut mahi was to die for, and the Parmesan linguine tasted homemade and was absolutely incredible. And whatever you do, don't skip dessert! We tried the key lime pie, chocolate lava cake, crème brûlée, and peanut butter pie, and every single one was delicious. Between the beautiful atmosphere, wonderful service, and incredible food, The Bay has quickly become one of our favorites. This was our second visit, but definitely won't be our last. We would recommend it every time!

The food was okay - not anything that really blew us away--but our waiter was cool and the service was good. The atmosphere was relaxed and it was a nice place to start the trip.

I sat outside so can't comment on the ambiance too much but seems like a nice place just from my brief glimpse. I will say that the portions are not massive (fish) so if you are looking for something both satiating and cheap, this might not be the place. But if you are just looking for high quality tasty food, then I'd say this place is really great choice!

They make the pizzas in house and cook it in a pizza oven. I got the Mahi Mahi tacos. I took one bite and was quite disappointed. They lacked any flavor. (I was excited to try them because of other reviews on Yelp but do agree with the other Yelpers that said they were bland.) If you're looking for the most delicious Mahi Mahi tacos go to Tommy Bahamas. (Those were off the chart!) Thankful for the good fries that came as a side with my tacos and my son's cheese pizza. That is what ended up being my meal. Everyone else in my party said their meals were mediocre. Nothing was bad it was just that everything lacked a lot of flavor. Maybe it's because we are from Louisiana and we like to season everything. They did enjoy the tuna dip appetizer and key lime pie though. We all agreed that we wouldn't come back but the staff and restaurant were nice.

I can honestly say this is one of the best appetizers I've ever had. The portion size and the garlic butter sauce was incredible.

For our lunch entrée, I ordered a smaller portion of blackened grouper and my husband ordered the meal. Absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend this as a visit!!

I went in thinking I was going to try one of the fried seafood items. Once finding out it was my first visit my server told me about their extensive menu. Fried fresh seafood, seafood boils, wings, etc. he recommended one of the boils. Said it was what they were known for. I understand why. I got the 1/2 shrimp boil with potato and corn and a side of their house made coleslaw. The seafood boil was awesome - you can control the intensity of the heat. I got the mild and it was perfect for me. I mentioned the staff was friendly. Every employee working out front ask me how I was doing and if I needed anything. I highly recommend this place!! Kudos to the staff for making this single diner feel so welcomed. See you again!!

There are much better restaurants around here; pick anything else but Nick's!

We had to wait a little while for a table, but they had great live music and such a fun atmosphere. I started with the Ringo Rita, which tasted homemade and delicious.

The vibe and view (upstairs) are fun and beachy. And the best part for me is that the majority of what they serve is gf, so it made my life so much easier and I felt good about eating there.

The service was quick but can take longer if they are extremely busy. Go early!!! A line forms and continues thru the dinner hour. There are two places side by side one serves all steamed seafood and the other spot serves fried, baked/broiled/sauteed. All equally delicious. You order at the counter, and pick up at the steaming place and they bring it to your table at the other place. The indoor seating is limited. Run, don't walk! Go early! BYOB if that's your pleasure. We went there twice in 5 days and I am a food snob. For some reason I was more interested in diving in than taking pictures. Enjoy! This was my second year, we stay at the Beal House Hotel across the street. That's another great story! And.... You are welcome
