Review Bayside Restaurant And Bar - Russell

Had fish and chips my advice if you are not a big eater get on serving to share because the portion size is generous. Staff are pleasant and service quick. Lovely setting though disappointing that they still use plastic straws especially being so close to the sea. Coffee is Lafaare so had a very good espresso. Cost $$-$$$

Came here to eat dinner at outdoor tables and watch the sunset (but was too cloudy). Was very busy at this time but drinks came out quickly. Our meals took about 30 mins but were worth the wait. Really delicious, great flavours. (Chicken burger and Mrs Russell dish - salmon)

This is a lovely spot for a coffee. Sat outside, we looked straight out onto the waterfront and had a delightful view. We waited a fair while for our coffee, but it was Easter holidays so that was to be expected. When the coffee arrived, it was hot, had a good ratio of foam to liquid and had a little biscuit as well. We saw some of the food coming out to other tables and the portions looked very healthy, but we didnt eat so couldn't comment too much.

Very quick and friendly service. Meals arrived super fast and were delicious. We had Pesto chicken pasta, chicken wraps, fish and chips, spaghetti and meatballs. Yummy!

Five of us went there for lunch food was delicious and real value for money gluten-free burgers there are delicious. Bali looked after us & was very kind and fantastic service. Would recommend eating here for anyone including people with coeliac disease. If you want a delicious meal for a good price this is for you

Great fish n chips however service very ordinary for a tourist spot.

Friendly staff, great coffee and food. The fish tacos were lovely and light. Just right with an amazing view of the Kororareka bay. Came at busiest time of year, with a passenger liner parked in the bay but it didn't make any difference to serving time... perfect...😊👍

My son says the food is good, and the coffee average. I think they prepared my eggs to perfection. Great view. Lovely outside seating. Reasonable prices.

Great service and staff. Sadly they ran out of beer, and drink mixes, also the food took over an hour. But the staff made sure we were happy so well done team!

You cant beat the location or view. If youre lucky enough to score a table close to the water, youre in for a treat. The staff were friendly and accomodating. The food was mixed. It looked beautiful, but lacked real flavour. The vege falafel salad was mostly cos lettuce with minimal falafel. On the other hand the crab sandwhich had 2 decent sized soft shelled crabs in it. Taste overall was unimpressive. Priced at a tourist level for sure.
