Culinary Art, Technicolor Views
Bayside Seafood Grill & Bar is one of Naples’ most beloved waterfront restaurants, renowned for its exhilarating views of Venetian Village and Bay, and cuisine that is an art form unto itself. Dine in one of three different settings: The Bar has a casual cafe atmosphere located street-level with stunning views of the Venetian Bay, the elegant and ethereal upstairs Grill for lunch or dinner with the vistas of a luxury yacht, or at the Upper Deck Bar, offering a casual dining experience in an open-air setting, and live, laid-back entertainment four nights a week.
Bayside’s history began in 1989, when owners Tony Ridgway and Sukie Honeycutt were approached by the Lutgert Companies, developers of The Village on Venetian Bay, to open a waterfront restaurant on the Village’s south side. Bayside Seafood Grill & Bar opened in October of 1990, and quickly became one of Naples' premier restaurants.
For its 20th anniversary, Bayside was polished to perfection by an artful facelift, its new ambience inspired by the pastel hues and iconic imagery of a seaside cottage. The panoramas, stunning as always, can be seen from anywhere in the room thanks to an open and spacious floor plan and glass panels which separate dining areas without blocking views.
Bayside has been managed by John Everding for the past 11 years. As Bayside's managing director, John is "the face" of the restaurant in the Naples community, well-regarded for anticipating customers wishes, and ensuring an unforgettable dining experience.
