Cute place! Great people, food was outstanding. Recommend they add more wine selections, but other than that and absolute gem.

Felix

Probably Lakeland's best dining experience. Wonderful menu, great nightly specials, outstanding deserts all in a comfortable dining room.

This is a very nice restaurant. We were a party of six. The service staff was attentive, very knowledgeable and courteous. The food entrees and deserts were excellent. I would heartily recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an upscale, quiet dinner out on the town.

They always have the most delicious foods, love their bruschetta appetizer. I tried something different this time, the Shrimp Capellini which was very good. From start to finish ending with a scrumptious German Chocolate cake everything was top notch! Definitely will continue to go there again as we have enjoyed it for a few years now.

A very nice throwback to the days when classic French cuisine had its heyday in the late 70s and early 80s. The menu and wine selection are spot on and magnifique.

We went here for the first time to celebrate our anniversary and it was wonderful. We had an amazing meal, fantastic service and great ambiance. The food quality was excellent. The serving time was spot on. This eclectic restaurant is a joy to see and spend time in.

Teresa

This is the type of neighborhood restaurant you find in larger cities with a consistent, quality menu but without being pretentious. The staff is friendly and accommodating. On this visit the table was treated to a variety of the house made desserts in honor of the owner's birthday. Bay Street Bistro should be a destination for visitors to Lakeland and a frequented spot for residents.

Wonderful dinner with friends. Delicious meals. I enjoyed the Steak with scampi sauce and jumbo prawns, amazing. Paired well with a juicy pinot. Great night. Wife enjoyed a vegetarian plate, and one friend experienced the indulgent beef wellington. All around a great time. Highly recommend. We will return.

We are so glad we decided to try Bay Street Bistro! It was very quiet and the food was outstanding! The special with the Sea Bass was amazing! We will definitely be back! Service was very friendly and everything came out fast.

Wonderful! The atmosphere at Bay Street Bistro is relaxed and gracious leaving everyone feeling comfortable. The food is exquisite and the chef doesn't miss a detail. We had the escargot, cream mussels, beef wellington and orange scallops over parmesan risotto. The attention to every flavor and every vegetable is impressive. It is honestly one of the finest restaurants in Lakeland and we have been here for 25 years. To top it off our waitress, Ileana, was delightful. She made it a cheerful and enjoyable experience. Had she not recommended it, I would never have tasted the joy of a poached pear salad with brie and balsamic. And her wine recommendations were spot on. We will be coming back soon with family and bringing them to her section! And if the Outrageously Talented Chef needs criticism to improve...it is this; More Risotto, More Risotto, More Risotto!!!

Bay Street Bistro is by far one of my favorite restaurants to go to when I celebrate passing a semester of school or just when I'm feeling fancy! The food is divine and the wait staff is quick and friendly. My absolute favorite dish is the sea bass special, but the lamb is to die for, and you can never go wrong with a sweet treat after dinner, with the amazing dessert options they have! I have a wonderful experience every time I go and can't wait to go back again.
