I went to Bayside restaurant today for a delicious farewell lunch (my internship at Newport Beach CVB is sadly coming to an end). I have never been before, and I was delightfully surprised with their mix of delectable cuisine, artistic presentation, and bayside ambiance. Kim and I both chose the Mediterranean Salad with prawns, tomato, cucumber, kalamata olives, and mini peppers. It was absolutely delicious! The peppers added a unique twist to a classic dish.
Audrey and Katie both enjoyed their Sautéed Tiger Prawns, which was served over asparagus risotto. Krystyl ordered the two course lunch deal (with a set price of $19.95 for a starter, entrée, and drink, you can save about $12). She had a heart of romaine salad with fresh shaved parmesan cheese to start. Her entrée, the Simply Roasted Chicken Breast, was a favorite around the table, and our waiter said that it is his highest recommendation as well. It was served over wilted spinach and a lemon sauce and a side of gratin soft polenta.
For dessert, our thoughtful server brought me a warm chocolate soufflé with hazelnut ice cream on the house to celebrate my departure. How sweet!
Bayside truly lived up to its tagline, “creative cuisine that bedazzles the bay.” I cannot wait to go back for either live jazz music at night or their champagne Sunday brunch!

But you have no idea how to write a restaurant review! Listing the names of the menu items you tasted and the main ingredients therein does not tell anyone anything. Real restaurant writers tell a story of flavor and preparation. History and color. They paint a canvas with words the reader can taste. This is simply blither. Sorry.
It’s ok. Don’t publish my comments. I can see that you are not professional writers. Most people don’t know the difference anyway, nor do they care. But if you’re trying to drum up business for your restaurant members/sponsors, you might want to try to write more appealingly about their product — which is, after all, food. Try to explain to your readers how the food is prepared and what it actually tastes like. Believe me, it can be done.
Thank you for your comments. We would love to post your Newport Beach Blogs on our site and we are sure our readers will love them as well.
Hey good stuff…keep up the good work!
Excellent site, keep up the good work. I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks,
A definite great read.. <a href=”http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/~bill-bartmann”
