I threw a baby shower for my little sister here and it was amazing! Working with Autumn and Madison was so easy. They accommodated all of my needs and it was perfect. I highly recommended this place for the view and people!

Made a reservation and received two confirmation emails and a reminder for the date. When we arrived, a private party was being prepared and we were turned away. No accommodation for a return visit nor notification of THEIR change in our reservation. Would highly NOT recommend the Bay Patio!

We made reservations on The Bay Patio for today at 12:30pn on their website and received a confirmation as well as an email on yesterday to confirm once more the 5 of us were still coming. We are sitting here across the street hoping the gates open but we know that will more than likely not happen.This seems to be the normal so I guess Nobody will be making reservations to come here. This is really sad. This was a birthday celebration for 4 ladies that were excited about trying this restaurant out.

Just showed up for 12:30 pm reservations on December 4, 2022 only to find both gates closed. Very disappointing especially since our party received confirmation on yesterday. Members of our party drove from Houston so this was very frustrating. Please think twice before visiting this place?????♀️

The Bay Patio is such a beautiful event venue and restaurant. I have not tried the food, but I would highly recommend the cocktails and live music. During our visit, we appreciated the intimate and friendly atmosphere the restaurant had during its live Jacob Pickering concert. I have nothing but great things to say about the concert. The drinks were fairly expensive compared to other bars/restaurants in the area, but you won't find anything else like this. The view is unbeatable. I loved the St Patrick's day green cocktails and will be back to try the food. The only con is, they are not open very often. Check the hours to see if the Bay Patio is having a private event or closed before making the trip.

Our server was new and got the tables mixed up. Therefore, it took a long time to receive our food. However, once we received the food, it was excellent, and the Manager gave us a BIG discount. We will definitely go back.

Not bad for a limited menu and open on Sundays for brunch for now, Nice view of Clear Lake, a little windy today. Hopefully we support this local place cause it got a lot of potential.Thanks to the Staff especially to Kiera.

1) View of the water and ambiance are outstanding2) Food and drink are excellent quality and attractively presented3) Waitstaff are excellent, and, unlike previous reviews, they had more than enough staff on our visit (and the staff wear masks! Yay!)4) Outdoor, elegant dining is tough to come by in the Seabrook/Clear Lake area. The fire pits here mean you can dine outside even on a cold night.We came here for a magical evening for my mother’s 80th birthday, and The Bay Patio was amazing. I had the hamburger. It was one of the better burgers I’ve ever had at a restaurant. I’m from the outstanding restaurant city of Philadelphia, so that’s saying something. Other dishes in our party were the spaghetti and garlic bread, also very good. I also had a very tasty and pretty pineapple mojito.The Bay Patio only exists as a restaurant open to the general public when The Water’s Edge, where it’s located, isn’t hosting a wedding.One other thing to note: the fire pits are near the bar. There’s a large fire pit on the stairs into the dining area, but it’s a bit too far from all but a couple tables to provide much warmth to most diners.
Food was great but service was poor at best. We sat outside because it's too noisy inside. Unfortunately you are not on their radar being outside. I would not go again

We went here for the Valentine’s Day “experience” and boy was it an experience! We came in to rushed wait staff, arguments between the staff, and angry customers walking around the waiting area trying to find a manager to talk to. Pretty cheap set up for something we had to pay up front so we were totally misled by the pictures. We tried to get out of the reservation before we sat down after watching the circus of chaos for 30 minutes but were basically begged to stay because they weren’t sure if they could even refund us. The food was cold and tasted like it had been out for a while. You could tell everything was frozen before it had been cooked (I got the steak and it was gray and the size of a mozzarella stick from sonic). We also were sat directly next to the entrance so we had a front row seat to the continued chaos and watched the hostesses yell at each other in confusion for the entire meal. It was so disorganized it was almost funny and we ended the night in a Burger King drive through.

Terrible service all around. Made a reservation at 6:30. Showed up and sat us out side. Was a little cold so we asked to move in side. Sat us at a cocktail table and the table was falling over so we moved to another table. Our waitress was very nice however it was extremely unorganized from what I could see. My wife and I ordered a second round of drinks, the waitress came back and asked if we wanted another round 30 minutes later but they didn’t even bring the second rounds. The waitress came back 10 minutes after that and blamed the other workers for taking our drinks. Went to go pay and they charged us the full price after we already paid online. Multiple other tables went 30+ minutes without seeing their waitress. When I went to leave the waitress apologized for how unorganized everything was. Food was mediocre at best, not worth that much money. Not sure how everyone can be giving this place 5 stars. Tried to stay local but 10/10 will not be going back.

They seem to be severely understaffed. Beautiful view, but we waited 2 hrs and still never got our food. We had to bus our own table as the busboy was apparently too busy. The waiter said the kitchen was backed up but the restaurant didn't seem to be too busy. 2 hrs and a mimosa carafe later, we had to retreat to find food elsewhere. Such a shame...

EXTREMELY SLOW SERVICE. The wait staff is unaware of the menu, the kitchen is SLOW, once you get your food, you don't get silverware, that takes another 15 minutes. You might have your drinks then, or you might not. You whole party will NOT get your entrees at the same time. The only good thing about this place was the atmosphere, the company and the live music.Features: Outdoor seating
