French cuisine cooked to perfection. Savored each bite! Not a commercial plastic resteraunts like those on the strip in Destin. Mmm mmm good.
French onion soup weak at best, not very deep and rich, watery not seasoned (except the whole black peppercorns). Chicken piccata, chicken cooked just right, sauce was the right consistency but not enough lemon or seasoning, capers were the only saving grace for flavor. I asked for broccoli and angel hair pasta. ALL cooked perfect, NO seasoning? Bread served w/ lunch was great. Crunchy, chewy and perfect. Asked the server about 2 dishes that are on the menu that have Asian flavors (in a French restaurant), where the influence came from? thinking maybe the chef has a lot of Asian fusion or ? He replied "Asia". Server was dry at best, lacked any fun personality that would our dining experience exceptional. Asked him about the crab cakes and he replied that they are very "bready". Also asked if the restaurant baked their own croissant. He just replied "No". At that point, wouldn't you have replied "no, but our croissants are the best in town or but they are exceptional?? Lack of attention!!! Money is very tight and restaurants should put forth the most to attract clients that are willing to visit for the food and experience!!

I have been going to Bay Cafe for about 10 years when I am in FWB. I had the grouperwellington last night. It was fantastic. The salad was fresh. The patio is great.

Good food and service. The view is dominated by a large construction crane. It can't be helped, but <shrug>. It's casual dining which is nice, just wished there was a kids menu.

Portions aren't very big but were very tasty. Shrimp & corn chowder was delicious. My friend had the duck with cherry brandy sauce & it was scrumptious.

We love dining at Bay Cafe’! They offer indoor and also outdoor patio seating over the water. The servers are very knowledgeable of the food entrees and specials. The chef is outstanding! When visiting Ft Walton we always love to order fresh seafood and the seafood here never disappoints! We have also tried the brunch on Sunday and it’s wonderful too! Highly recommend Bay Cafe’!

Food was okay. I ordered the veal and mashed potatoes and green beans. I wasn't impressed. Everything else was ok. Overall everything was ok.
