Bay Harbor?

Do you guys think they will ever renovate? It looks painfully dated.

Also I thought they were open year around? Looks like they are “temporary closed” per Google.

About 8 years ago my wife and I went there for our first and only time; for our wedding anniversary that year we got a Lighthouse Point cottage for a night and realized it was one place at Cedar Point we had never set foot in.

Our first reaction was that it looked like the last time it was renovated was somewhere around 1984.

I called, and they will open when the park does.

I love outdated; I hate the clean, bright minimalist look of so many modern places.

Bay Harbor was our go-to for our wedding anniversary in December on years when we decided to stay in town.
When they started closing during the off-season, it was a real bummer for us.

Yeah, I wrote off the place after they served my toddler spoiled milk. But he showed them, by barfing it up all over their old carpet.

The milk was purchased the same day as the carpet. I remember you sharing that story.

Look, I'm all for vintage, and there's nothing wrong with 'old fashioned' (especially the drink), but I think there is a lot of grey area in-between where the look of the place is currently and a modern/minimalist appearance, which I would also loathe. I also wouldn't make it a place crammed with CP memorabilia. It's a seafood joint in a marina, and it looks like your fun uncle's finished basement.

Circa 1984.

Sucks it was your anniversary go-to and now it's defunct in the winter.

I've never dined at Bay Harbor but looking at the interior pics, it does give that 1980s basement vibe.

They should rename it Dick's Rumpus Room.

My take on it is that the restaurant at Sawmill Creek essentially took the place of Bay Harbor's off-season fine dining option. I haven't eaten at either one.

The bar is pretty solid at Sawmill, but their menu needs a decent chicken entree. It's also hilarious how cheap it is to drink there compared to everywhere around me in Orlando.

I used to really like Bay Harbor around the turn of the millennium. And, I really liked when it was open year round. It was nice to drop in on the Point in the winter when I was in town.
