Bayly's Bistro

The location below the theatre is perfect and the both the food and the views are excellent. I would happily return every time we go to the ensemble theatre if only we could get in!

We went in a large group on Saturday night and we were pleasantly surprised. The location is wonderful. the staff were under pressure to ensure we made the show but they were so helpful. The food was great. We don't need to see a show to return here. Great start to a superb night at the Ensemble theatre.

Great to visit just before a play, as it's a full service just before the show the staff are a bit pressured to get everyone served before the show but still did fantastic and we didn't feel rushed at all. Food and wine are both top notch and reasonably priced given the quality. Would recommend the quail and scallop dishes. Lastly amazing view, full glass walls looking out to harbour.

Lovely restaurant right below the ensemble theatre. windows, seats and attentive service, fish was delightful

The food here was absolutely beautiful. Almost as beautiful as Stacy. How I loved that woman. We used to wander the lakes and try to catch fish with our bare hands, yell across the road to unsuspecting tourists, push trolleys down hills and turn people's days into donkey Kong simulations. Alas, those days are long gone. The food was brilliant. 5 stars

The service quality provided but their manager is just next level! She made our experience even better! :)

Food was very good however we felt rushed. We booked 6.30 for an 8.15 show to allow plenty of time for a leisurely dinner. They requested our order 5 minutes after we were seated, the main meal arrived within 15 minutes without the side vegetables which we had to request. The waitress then tried to clear the table while people were still eating. I requested that she come back later when we had all finished. Immediately after clearing the table she gave us the dessert menu. I told her that we felt rushed and we would order soon. She gave us about 15 minutes then came to the table with an armful of dirty plates from another table and took our order for dessert and coffee. It was all over by 7.30 so then we waited until 8.05 to go into the theatre. I feel the staff know everyone will have left the restaurant by 8.15 and they planned to do the same. I won’t be eating there again.

What an elegant meal. Having my dietary needs met with such finesse and thoughtful delivery made my meal an absulote pleasure. Nathan takes pride in providing an experience your taste buds will remember. If you're going to a show at the Ensemble Theatre, you need to go to Bayley's.
