I recently went to the Bay Cafe because a friend recommended it, and I wasn't disappointed. This is now one of my favorite Kosher dairy restaurants/cafes in the Brooklyn area. I was very impressed by the quality of the food, and the dedication of all the staff. What stood out for me is that the man behind the counter mixing up cocktails and rolling pizza doughs, is none other but the owner chef Albert. We got a greek salad which was a generous portion of fresh vegetables and shredded cheese. It also had stuffed grape leaves giving it real Greek flavor. I just wished that they used a lettuce base for the salad. The mac and cheese lived up to the description. The portion was a drop small for the amount it cost. Yet the richness of the dish is more than enough, and it comes with fresh vegetables that make it a full meal. The salmon is fairly priced and comes with 2 side dishes. The options include sauteed brocolli, spinach, grilled vegetables, potatoes, and more. They have a full dessert menu, and all their options are made fresh. They have Belgian waffles, churros, cheesecake, and the chocolate souffle which we got. It was really good, and the ice cream helped add to the richness of the chocolate. The place has a casual vibe that makes it a relaxing place to go, and it won't break the bank. Besides the indoor, and outdoor seating options, it is also right by the water which gives you a nice scenic place to walk around. The food did take a while to come out, but they had a full house with a party in the back My main criticism is the 18% gratuity. The servers deserve it, but it significantly increases your bill. They still deserve 5 stars because all around we had a great time. I'm looking forward to coming again, and trying some of the fantastic looking freshly...
Read moreI was in sheepshead bay with my family and I noticed that there was a kosher joint on the corner of shore rd and Neptune ave. I was curious and I decided to check it out. There were nice tables set up outdoors and I saw a good amount of patrons sitting outside. The owner and her staff were quick to seat us and that was the start of a fantastic meal. We ordered everything the owner recommended, and let me tell you, she was right on the money. We ordered, the tuna kimchi poke, the maple ginger salmon, fish and chips, split pea soup, two sushi rolls, a Greek salad, and a Kani salad. These portions were quite generous. First off and my favorite part of this whole experience was the fact that they accommodated for a gluten-free diet, as someone who suffers from celiac disease, it’s very hard to find places who accommodate for a gluten-free diet. The tuna kimchi poke, without the special sauce (I used spicy mayo instead), was so delicious, their Kimchi was to die for. The maple ginger salmon, was presented very nicely in a glass cover unveiling all the smoke, which smelled like heaven. They had 2 sides with that, sushi rice, and gluten-free French fries! My wife and kids enjoyed their fish and chips, she said they were as good as in New England. The Greek salad and split pea soup were both delicious. And to top it all off, for dessert, we had the creme brûlée, tiramisu in a cup, and a lemon curd mascarpone cheesecake. My family loved each, but for me specifically I enjoyed the creme brûlée. The service was unbelievable and the owner and staff were very kind and generous. The owner told me that they’re going to be implementing a new menu, which is exciting
Great experience for the whole family, and I definitely look forward to...
Read moreHeard a lot of rave reviews about this kosher dairy place and after ordering food from them twice, have to agree that all of these reviews were on point. Both orders were delivery but everything we ordered was cooked fast, packed extremely carefully and all dishes arrived piping hot and tasting incredibly fresh and delicious. Portions are big enough to share, food is full of flavor, seasoned superbly and obviously made from premium quality ingredients. Mushroom & Cheese stuffed baked potato is definitely 1 of the ultimate comfort foods for many and The Bay Cafe’s version was a true perfection with lots of yummy melted cheese, great tasting mushrooms mixed in with scooped potatoes insides. 10 out of 10 for sure! Beets & Quinoa salad was an excellent combo of different fresh veggies, nuts, fruits and feta cheese, resulting in a fabulous mix of sweet and savory plus adding a raspberry vinaigrette as a dressing brought it all to a very satisfying explosion of flavor. Definitely a Must Get Salad! Another 10 out of 10. Lastly we got Maryland style Crab Cakes, made with imitation crab meat but it didn’t diminish the taste at all. This dish comes with 2 large pieces of Crab Cakes, served on a bed of fresh arugula and lots of cherry tomatoes with a side of delectable homemade tartar sauce. Crab Cakes were crunchy outside, juicy and tender inside, had a unique taste and was truly amazing. All in all-very satisfying experience, would love to try more dishes from their vast menu and dine...
