Taverna On The Bay is a true treasure! From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with stunning waterfront views and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The staff are exceptional—friendly, attentive, and always eager to make sure every detail of your dining experience is perfect. The menu is packed with fresh, flavorful options, from beautifully prepared seafood to authentic Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Every bite tastes thoughtfully crafted, and the presentation is just as impressive as the flavors. The cocktails are creative and refreshing, perfectly complementing the laid-back coastal vibe. What really sets this place apart is the combination of outstanding food, genuine hospitality, and a setting that makes every meal feel like a special occasion. Whether for a casual lunch, romantic dinner, or night out with friends, Taverna On The Bay consistently delivers a 5-star experience.

Enjoyed our time there. The atmosphere was very relaxed in an elegant setting. Sat in the bar area for a pre-meal drink. The bartender was personable and fun to interact with. They have a cute game with a dice to give you a discount on your drink. After being seated for dinner, the server was attentive but, also have us time with the menu. She was responsive quickly when we were ready to order. Everything was very delicious. We will go back❤️

They “accidentally” overcharged us. Yes they corrected it and apologized, only after we caught it and told them about it. BTW there’s a 3% credit card fee (shown on the check, not on the menu), and $3 for sharing a plate (again not on the menu, and yes even at the bar area according to Chris the manager). Food was actually good, too bad we will not be back again.

The food is very bland. Wonderful choices, but it seems the chef doesn’t season anything. The hummus tasted like whipped chickpeas and water. My husband chose a veal platter and said it looked phenomenal, but had no flavor. My platter was a baby clam linguine which was delish but everything in the menu should be delish. Service is standard and the restaurant is beautiful. Someone just needs to talk to the chef or cooks to please add taste to the food. We spent over $100 between wine, appetizer, and entrees. It’s sad to say we may not go back.

Had high hopes for the food here, but it wasn't quite right, especially for the price. The atmosphere is wonderful, though, and the staff were very friendly!
First time trying this place and it was excellent. We went for $1 Oyster night. We had a dozen oysters, zucchini chips, bruschetta and linguine with clams. Everything was delicious and the portions are big. We sat in the back with a view of the Intracoastal and it was a beautiful evening. There was only 1 negative. We paid with a Visa gift card and our server automatically added a 20% tip and didn't tell us. We left a cash tip not knowing that the server had already deducted a tip from the gift card. If they are going to do that, we should have been told. Not a good business practice. My opinion only. Still highly recommend for a great date night. Just check with server when paying with a card.

My wife and I decided to try this restaurant while we were staying at a resort across the street. Best decision ever! We returned again before we left town with friends. The staff is very friendly and prompt. The owner was very nice as well and greeted us both times. Awesome views of the Bay. Daily specials and Happy hour are great value. The chicken piccata, bruschetta and protein bowls were amazing.
Amazing food, great service, beautiful view…highly recommend.
