Bayside American Cafe

Excellent service and food. We waited about 20 minutes for our table, but we were helped quickly and received our meals shortly after. My boyfriend ordered half the corned beef hash and it was super filling that he was able to take home the leftovers. I ordered the lobster benedict, which was fantastic. The entire staff was extremely helpful, kind, and fast. Highly recommend!

Had brunch with a buddy. Sat in the downstairs area, extremely close to other guests, but this joint is small so it's expected. The staff is warm and friendly. I asked the waiter about the bread they serve and one of the cooks took the time to talk about it and even brought out a loaf to show me. The food is great! I had 2 blueberry and lemon French toasts (be aware that the slices are huge) with a side of delicious, crispy pig. By buddy had the an omelet (with the kitchen sink thrown in) and the blueberry pancakes. They didn't disappoint! The food was hot and cooked to order. If I'm ever in Portland again, I'm hitting this place for breakfast.

I had high hopes for this place but was disappointed in the slow service and lack of care and control of the establishment. It was small quarters in this location. And it was full of loud out of control screaming children. The people that came here had no regard for the other patrons that wanted to enjoy their meals. The staff was about 6 young girls who were not really doing much of anything. We waited over 30 mins to get our food and we saw other people that came in after us get their food first and leave before us. The food came out lukewarm like it was sitting there waiting for one of the girls to decide to pick it up and bring it to us only after I had to ask if we should leave. Regarding the food, the strawberries and cream French toast was great but came out lukewarm. The crab cake was not good too much dill was used I couldn’t eat it. And the lobster scramble ($30)was ok but over priced and not enough lobster compared to other places that are priced much better. This place is definitely charging way too much for their food. I have no problem paying for great food but this was not worth it unfortunately. The terrible customer service and loud atmosphere really ruined the meal for us.

Breakfast was phenomenal! My favorite was the Strawberry French toast. Everything else was also delicious. A little bit on the pricey side and a 90 minute wait for a table. Even though every table was taken, the staff worked really hard and really fast. Food was served within 30 minutes of ordering. Considering how busy it was that is really fast! Staff was very nice and professional! Loved everything about this place from the way it was designed to the service we where provided. Will come again.

Loved this place! Ordered the avocado toast which was incredible! However, in the description it said there was black truffle in the avocado mash, but I didn’t taste it at all which was a little disappointing. Still giving this place 5 stars for its great service, cozy atmosphere, and amazing food!

There's almost always a 30-45 min wait upon arrival, but it is so worth it. This is another one of those hidden gems in Portland. The food is always fantastic, I mean there has never been a case where I not amazed by how good everything tasted. Consistency is hard to find.The servers and staff are friendly and helpful, parking nearby isn't so bad. In terms of location, this area does have a lot of activity across the street and by the nearby gas station. It has never bothered me but may deter some from standing outside and waiting for a table.
