“From the moment Drew opened his doors in his original location we quickly became fans. This creative Chef who works magic with food has turned Drew’s Bayshore Bistro into one of the most popular restaurants to eat at. People come from all over to enjoy and will take any time slot available to do so. We have eaten here more times than I can count and have had many group dinners and celebrations. Drew’s new location is beyond beautiful and only a stone’s throw from his prior place. We just love the feel of the new home and the beautiful ambiance. it’s absolutely gorgeous from street view and fits perfectly into Keyport’s historic vibe. The food is also over the top insanely incredible. Oh yes I have favorites. The scallops are perfectly sautéed, tender juicy and was served with pesto risotto. A true explosion of flavor. Broiled oysters are one of the most incredible thing I’ve ever tasted and honestly could eat two portions for my main, but haven’t done that yet as there are so many things to try. Pork chops, steaks, soft shell crabs, voodoo shrimp, homemade ice cream and all his special makes it hard to choose what to order. Incredible list of specials are always offered. Menu changes for seasonal favorites. I feel like a kid in a candy store when I look at the menu. We are very thankful to Drew for sharing his vision and providing all of us with a delectable dinning experience each time we eat here. Five stars are not enough!“

“So glad I stopped in!! $39 for a full bottle of Malbec Red Wine!!! 🤯 If I was heading home, I'd have grabbed a bottle or two of the other wine offerings to go!! The prices are insanely good for wine and food! The arugula salad ($20) with tuna ($6) was delicious and had SO MUCH fresh avocado in it!!! Mauricio came by to clean up my plates quickly and offer me water! Ian was a fantastic waiter who had a contagious upbeat attitude and did a fun show of opening the wine and serving me in general!!!! Also, the cheesecake is sooo good!!!“

“Tried this place 2x and literally so good. You guys need to try the Southwestern Cajun Chicken Salad with chipotle ranch. The salads are served in such a great portion and comes with pita bread in the side. I can have that salad everyday because of how flavorful and creamy it was. The workers are really nice and do offer like 10% off for mall workers. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Ordered the Costa Rican's & grilled chicken and the Venezuelan bandeja with tostones on the side and everything was fresh and delicious. Milk orchata was delicious too! It is a quaint place to have lunch and the price is reasonable. The food here is delicious and the wait time was also very reasonable but the people who work here aren't very friendly.“

“Fabio’s is without a doubt the best pizza in the area! Don’t waste your time on anywhere else!“

“Great food, easy in and out most of the time... A lil pricey as far as port food goes, but the quality is definitely there in the food they serve! Make sure you call ahead, And place your order, will save you alot of headaches during the lunch push“
