BAYSIDE SEAFOOD GRILL & BAR – Restaurant

Venetian Village on Gulf Shore Boulevard, with the bay outside and three ways to sit: the upstairs Grill for full dinner service, a casual first-floor Cafe with its own bar, and an open-air Upper Deck of high-tops. Owner Tony Ridgway's decades in Naples restaurants shape the cooking. The Bayside seafood platter arrives with whole Maine lobster, gulf shrimp and oysters; Espelette-dusted ahi tuna, grouper and shrimp ceviche, P.E.I. mussels puttanesca and coconut shrimp under mango-chili glaze fill out the starters. Golden beet and burrata salads follow. Desserts arrive daily from the Tony's Off Third bakery. Sunday brunch is served too.
