This is an excellent location with beautiful water views of Eries bay. The Oyster bar is perfect, with many selections from knowledgeable staff. The food is expertly prepared and served. The team constantly demonstrates they like to PLEASE their customers. I love it here!
The hostess, bart maid,and waiter were friendly,patient and helpfull!! We ad a nice relaxing evening, the oysters were very good. And the the other dishes were flavorful. I compliment the owner for putting together a very good team.
Amazing view of a perfect sunset for our friends birthday dinner. Oyster’s are a must have. All four meals were perfectly prepared and delicious. Top notch staff made our experience enjoyable and memorable. Will definitely be back!!!
Came here for dinner with my boyfriend and his family. They’ve known the owners for a while and they came to our table multiple times to check in with us. Very friendly staff and incredibly good food! Atmosphere and view are the best in Erie.
Incredible view which only gets trumped by the quality of the food and caring service of the staff! I’d dine here once a week if I lived in town or closer. An absolute must visit spot when you’re in Erie!
Amazing service by all staff particularly Morgan who made the most incredible espresso martini for me! We got the charcuterie board to eat with our drinks and it was so delicious 😋😋😋. The fig preserves were to die for! I will be back as much as possible! The ambiance and staff are top tier 🥰
Can’t beat the views!!! Friendly service and awesome atmosphere. We celebrated a birthday at the Bay House. I had the filet and it was outstanding. So many drink specials to choose from! Oysters were fresh and delish. I would definitely recommend Bay House for your next date night!
Great atmosphere lights a little bright on second floor. View of lake great service. Steak was ok mushroom sauce and potatos were great as well as the complimentary bread. $76 for two with no alcohol and no apps
The restaurant has a nice warm decor. Our oysters were amazing! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. About time Erie has a seafood inspired restaurant. Yum!
What a wonderful dining experience! Everything was top notch. All the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing! And all that coupled with the spectacular view of Presque Isle Bay!! I cant wait to go back again!
The mussels in tarragon cream sauce were horrible, very fishy taste, smelled terrible and just plain ugly. I had to spit mine out, my brother and husband tried to power through and each choked down a couple. Seafood dip was luke warm and fair. Grilled oysters were served without the red and green sauces. We decided to forgo dinner and went to the Sheraton. Will not go back.
Five stars for location and service but such mediocre food at a relatively high price point! Very small servinh of main dish watermelon feta salad with flabby watermelon, undercooked Brussels sprouts side dish. Disappointing.
1st time and wow what a great restaurant. Great atmosphere, food and service. Prices are not bad for the fantastic food. The oysters are the best I ever had.
Delicious fillet!! Absolutely go. This place deserves 5 stars!!!!! Wonderful service and outstanding view we sat on the lower level, just beautiful, and walked over to the hotel to stay! Plan ahead and set a reservation!
We were really excited to try this place! I mean fresh oyster bar by the water!? Yes please! Unfortunately, from the beginning the experience and food was very disappointing. When we walked in we had a reservation but you could tell they didn’t plan for us to come (weird since we had a reservation and on time) so we watched them scramble to find us a table which took 15 minutes. We were sat the server was friendly but not very knowledgeable on what was actually available on the menu. We picked out 12 oysters and then were told they only had 2 selections left. The food runners didnt know the table numbers so literally almost gave us someone else’s food or almost gave our food away multiple times. I’m a server and noticed that so anytime something came out I was looking to make sure it went to the right table around me. We also noticed that food was taking forever so we decided to just get a charcuterie board, oysters, a salad, and croquettes. IT TOOK OVER 2 HOURS for just that!!! Oyster were good but not the ones we wanted which is fine we came in later, salad was terrible basically just lettuce with a drizzle of dressing, croquettes came with no dipping sauce and the charcuterie board was way overpriced for what was on that board which was mostly nuts. Ended up spending over 100 on a terrible overall experience. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt but my friend just went Friday and it was just as bad. Wouldn’t waste my money!
We made reservations at 6:45 and didn’t eat until 8! I ordered a steak medium well and it came out close to rare. Took along time to get drinks and didn’t come back for refills.
Great food. Beautiful view over the lake. Friendly servers.
Limited menu, overpriced especially if you want steak. Twice as much as other nice restaurants. Meal just okay. Sever very nice and good
Exceptional both in food and experience, Bay House is the crown jewel of John and Russ’s brilliance. You would be hard-pressed to find a more consistent and quality restaurant in the greater Erie area.
Read menu online and stated scallops were available, got there and no scallops. Super disappointed. My waitress didnt give any allowance for it either. If it comes off your physical menu, please take it off your online menu. Left a dirty taste in my mouth.
Very nice upscale seafood restaurant. The oyster selection and quality is top notch. A very enjoyable experience.
Pricey but very nice. Everything was top notch. I highly recommend going.
We had a half dozen fresh oysters and an order of the fried. All were amazing but the fried oysters are seriously the stuff of dreams. Drinks, service and atmosphere were also impeccable. So glad to have a place of this caliber in Erie. Can’t wait to come back!
Wonderful atmosphere! Beautiful restaurant and bar with a great view of the lake. But honestly, its the staff! Extremely personable bartenders and waitstaff. Will definitely return.
Mostly good. Food was OK but not quite up to par with the prices. Either the prices need to come down or the food needs to get better. Atmosphere is very nice. Drinks were good.
The service was very good and was amazed at the quality of the oysters. The white balsamic terragon sauce for the fresh oysters is addictive!
Great food great atmosphere highest writer Aaron! Very odd greeting from the hostess who at 2 min to 4 claimed we are not open .....people understand when a business opens at 4 but maybe a good evening.....we will be with you shortly.....then we were told we didnt have reservations which we did after seating us the rest of our party came in and were told qe werent there which we were so they walked through until tgy found us lol
What a great addition to the Erie dining scene. Had a great meal there with great service and unbeatable views. Will definitely be back.
Over priced fishy smelling and tasting oysters. Slow to service you at the table but quick to get you the check. No thank you.
Awesome lakefront spot with incredible food and attention to detail. The location is perfect for sunset!
Good food, great service, and outstanding view. Highly recommend for anyone visiting or living in Erie.
Erie doesnt have a lot of high end options when it comes to restaurants. Bay House is on that short list!
Great food, wonderful atmosphere. Service was excellent food was super.
Everything was great. Everyone was so friendly!! Definitely will be back!
Great food and service! Would go back again.
Best upscale restaurant on the Bayfront bar none!!
Great food and great service!

2022-01-02Great atmosphere. Fantastic food! Although wifes filet was way overcooked, it was promptly taken care of. Pork porterhouse was great. Mini crab cakes were phenomenal, they are definitely mini. Great drink selection. We were hesitant on the oysters but gave em a shot and they were surprisingly delicious. Will definitely return. Another great concept of Johns.

2022-06-25I took my 3 teenage daughters here for dinner while on vacation. Our evening was great! The waitress was amazing… the chef was awesome and brought me out some peppers that were in the ahi tuna dish to take home (which was absolutely incredible)! The raw oyster selection was extensive and I enjoyed a full dozen all to myself! I recommend Bay House to families, a date night or even a solo dinner at the bar! They have something for everyone!

2022-01-24We came for a small birthday dinner and had a blast. Super conveniently located across from the hotel we were staying at. The drinks, food, atmosphere, and staff were lovely. Our servers, Amber and Ceci, were so personable and fun and John, the owner, popped by for a visit too. Everyone was great and the dinner was just what we were looking for: upscale but not uppity. I got the sirloin with the cognac pepper cream sauce (pictured). It was delicious and the boursin potato croquettes were spot on. Go!

2022-01-21Beautiful atmosphere and decor. I felt like I was out of town in a big city, fancy restaurant... But with a very casual hometown feel.The staff was friendly, inviting, and attentive. The owner even stopped by our table to make sure our experience was up to his standard (it was)I love treating myself to oysters when I travel to the ocean. Having an oyster bar with fresh oysters in Erie, PA, is a game changer for me! There were a variety of West coast and east coast oyster varieties to choose from. If you consider yourself an oyster aficionado, youll love the subtleties in the flavor profiles of the oysters.The main entrees were served fresh, accurate, and full of flavor. The waiter was knowledgeable of the menu and was able to answer any questions we had.John Russell Brewing beer was on tap. The beer was perfect!This place is a great addition to the Erie dining scene.Check it out!

2022-04-03We have been to Bay House twice and both meals have been great. It’s a good location with an amazing view. We appreciate that the owners took the time and had the pride to focus on the decor. This can’t be said about many places. The oysters are delicious, as are the salads, soups, and lamb chops. Erie needs more places like this, where you can go out for a great meal at a nice restaurant and have good service.

2022-07-02We did not like the table they sat us at. They put us upstairs in a packed small room up against a wall and right next to a very, very loud table of 9 young ladies, in their 20s. Almost had to scream at my wife to carry on a conversation, it didnt bother me as much as it wife. I had a dozen oysters as an appetizer and they were very good! My wife had the crab cakes and she did she liked them. For my main I had the chicken Marquette which I enjoyed very much. Next time I make a reservation I will ask for a seat at the oyster bar! Good and our server caryanne, were great!

2022-06-19Overall the food was good, but the Oyster Bar selection and staff exceeded my expectations by far! Very excited to come back and see the varieties of oysters. Every oyster I ate was truly a culinary delight. Shout out to Josh, for taking the time to teach me about oysters and how to best enjoy them.

2022-02-13Good food BUT. Lamb belly on their menu AND the online menu was $26 however they upcharged it to $42 without telling us. When we asked about it the manager said it was a product change and higher quality, I don’t think any change of lamb is worth a nearly $20 up charge. Manager offered to split a dessert, not worth $16, and we basically had to pry the cost difference from them.Also note that we were referred here by our friends who got the same meals and they just realized they were over charged too. Insane.
