I have been to Bayside a handful of times and almost always their Walleye fish tacos are amazing. Unfortunately our last time was a poor experience for our entire party. 3 of us had the walleye fish tacos and all of them were very fishy. Walleye has a very mild taste and i have never once had a fishy walleye until my last visit at Bayside. We made a comment to our waiter who began to tell us that Walleye is actually fishy tasting and that is "normal". He said that from his experience their walleye is always fairly fishy. Â Sorry I have had walleye over 100 times and I've never had a fishier tasting fillet. The waiter was not educated about the quality of their fish. Either the fish had gone bad or the oil they were cooking it in should have been changed. The waiters level of education on beers was poor also. He talked me into a pale ale that he said was actually happier than their IPA. Mmmm sorry it wasn't. I asked for a stronger hoppy IPA and he recommended the Pale Ale when in fact they had a double IPA which was much more hoppy. My second choice was their double IPA and it was phenomenal!
The sweet potato fries were still good and the dipping sauce that comes with the fish tacos is great. Another thing I do like about Bayside is their beer selection. They have a couple of local IPA's on tap. I'm a huge IPA fan and its nice to have a couple options. Many restaurants similar to Bayside don't have many micro brew options.
4 star atmosphere, 3 star service and 1 star walleye fish tacos
