Bayside
Bayside’s makeover injects its harbor-side location with fresh energy. Veteran Paul Gstrien remains top chef, but look for expanded Prime beef offerings. Long-favored by the coastal set for jazzy brunches, insiders stop in Friday night for a fine jazz session in the bar. Prix fixe menus are a draw.
