My husband and I had dinner at the Bay Cafe on Thursday, Dec. 3, 2009. The service was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our food! We thought the location was interesting (on the water, right under the Brooks bridge). The outside is pretty non descript and belies the elegant dishes offered. There was a party of 4 already seated when... more

After coming through the front door of bay cafe and being greeted by one server and another who I think was the manager we were told to seat ourselves. After that my fiance and I sat for roughly 5-10 min and then I actually looked at my watch and waited another 10 minutes without being asked what we wanted to... more

Bay Cafe has got to be the greatest place!! My family and I went there for the first time during the summer of 09'. They have so many delicious items on the menu. For an appetizer, we had crabcakes, escarot, and french onion soup. They have a variety of dinner entrees that consist of foods such as: Grouper Wellington, Chicken... more

One of the most cozy places in northwest Florida. An excellent menu and a professional staff. The seafood was fresh and delicious. The dessert was even better. more

This is an excellent place to dine in the Fort Walton Beach area. We have been coming to the beach for years and just discovered this place via Tripadvisor! We enjoyed a delicious lunch in October 2009. The French bread was welcomed and enjoyed by all of us while we dined on the artichoke heart appetizer. Our group enjoyed the... more

In an area replete with fried everything, this was a welcome surprise. The previous Tripadvisor reviews were accurate. It's not fancy; be sure to get a table outside where you will have a view of the bay. But the food was wonderful - well-prepared, fresh and delicious. I had the special: steamed grouper with artichokes in a white wine sauce,... more

Wow! Finally, after numerous disappointing meals at various restaurants around the Fort Walton Beach and Destin area we found one worthy of accolades. The restaurant is located just under the bridge with a nice outdoor deck on the water. The reflection of the lights off the water set the romantic mood for the late evening dinner. My husband and I... more

We used tripadvisor to find this treasure just below the bridge at Fort Walton Beach. The filet mignon was wonderful, my husband's baked grouper was perfect, the tiramisu cake excellent, and the chicken piccata perfectly cooked. We will definitely visit when we return to Fort Walton. more

Thank goodness for the Bay Cafe. After nearly a week over-priced, over-salted, greasy tourist food it was so nice to stumble onto this place. The service was very good, and the food was even better. The Bay Cafe serves French, Southern-European-American fusion food. I had the chicken piccata which was done perfectly. This was also the first restaurant I found... more
