5 /5 Rossmeri Montalvo: Our first visit to The Bay House was truly outstanding. We came to celebrate our adult son’s birthday with a late Sunday evening reservation, and it could not have been more perfect.
Our server, Daniella, was an absolute angel—warm, attentive, and wonderfully accommodating. She curated our evening in such a thoughtful way that we left feeling like lifelong fans of The Bay House. On her recommendations, our son (a true seafood lover) ordered plate after plate in succession, creating a custom “sharing menu” for the table. Each dish was more delicious than the last.
We feasted on:
Fresh raw oysters
Pimento cheese dip with rice crackers
Bay House ceviche
Hamachi crudo
Char-grilled octopus with grains
Seared shrimp with polenta
St. Augustine stew
It was a memorable seafood journey from start to finish. The men enjoyed cold beers, while the ladies shared a beautiful Sauvignon Blanc from France.
We also caught the last set of live music, which added the perfect touch of atmosphere. Next time, we’ll plan an earlier seating to enjoy more of the music and perhaps a table with a water view.
The evening ended with a thoughtful surprise: a hand-painted gold seashell as well as a slice of confetti cake to take home, since we had a birthday cake waiting at our lodging. Such a sweet, personal touch.
For the quality of the food, the service, and the overall experience, the price was very reasonable. The Bay House exceeded every expectation, and it’s now at the top of our list whenever we visit Naples. Highly recommended for anyone looking to pair fresh seafood with exceptional hospitality in a beautiful setting.
