Our family tries to visit Bay Breeze each time we're in the Hendersonville area. For the quality & portions, it's a great value. The service this past time was EXCELLENT. I missed her name, but she said she'd been a server for 20 years & you could tell. She was multitasking & friendly the whole time, all while remembering who ordered what in a party of 7.

Very nice place to eat wonderful place to eat . Although we have ate there a lot and never had bad service . This past Friday we did have the worst service we have ever experienced, no tea refills even after our waitress noted that we were empty , until all our food was almost gone . Then warm tea and no ice , promised ice right back that never happened. We finished and stocked plates and waited for our ticket . Knowing we had to leave because of cargo we had . Waitress was back and forth but would never stop she circulated with others , we got up and went to the desk to pay . They found our ticket and cashed us out .

We love Bay Breeze! 2nd time we've eaten here since they reopened after Helene. Both times the sweet potatoes were not hot enough to melt the butter. They were very well done, and the skin was crispy and nearly black. They are very small and there is a $1 up charge for them. I ordered the salmon M-W and it came out well/dry. The coleslaw was room temp. We don't mind paying the higher prices but they will have to make sure the food is top-notch to keep people coming!

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the Hendersonville area needs our help in a major way. While I am not sure the status of this restaurant at the time of this writing, what damage they may have sustained, or in general what their status will be... I can say that when I ate here with wife's family last time I visited, it was clear this restaurant is an important place for the community. You've never met a more caring staff. Regardless of the restaurant being so large, it seemed like many knew the customers by name. They were so good to the young children in our group, and patient with all families, that you just have to be impressed and commend them. They have a huge menu, basically any way you could possibly want seafood, they can do it for you. They also have plenty of selection for "landlubbers" to suit the non-seafood pallette. I got one of their weekly Saturday specials for jumbo shrimp and grouper. I greatly enjoyed the plump shrimp and the big piece of fish I was served. I felt the sides could all use a little work, outside of the cole slaw, which was spot on. My fried okra was not very crispy, and I thought the hushpuppies were just OK. But, I came for the fish, and since it was great... paired with the excellent service, this place deserves a five. I hope they are able to recover, along with all the businesses in Hendersonville, Asheville, and our other mountain communities. The road may be long, but we'll endure it.

Good food and great service. The hush puppies shaped like onion rings were excellent! For dessert they had fresh apples from a local orchard, sliced into rings and coated in a sweet batter and fried, served with ice cream. Delicious! We were there nearly 2 weeks ago before the terrible weather hit from Hurricane Helene. I hope this restaurant wasn't damaged. We were on vacation and stayed in Lake Lure and many restaurants there were wiped out. Prayers going out to all of you in Western North Carolina!

Very friendly waitress. Food was delicious and nice portions. My mom has a walker and it was easy for her to maneuver in the dining room.

I've been missing good seafood in western North Carolina, but I was very satisfied with my broiled grouper lunch at Bay Breeze. I had loaded potato soup, hush puppies, and cheesy grits included in my meal, all for less than $19 total! Service from Victoria was prompt, friendly, and thorough. The hostess/cashier was not friendly, did not smile, and didn't thank me. I would have loved to have ordered one of the delicious-looking desserts in the glass case, but I'll have to try one next time. Excellent variety of beautiful cakes!
