bayside is #1. to start this review, i must tell you that my wife & i are “dog (and cat) people”...we have a 9 year old shepard mix rescue named katie, that is the love of our lives. we came to oc for the st paddy’s day 5k, and of course brought katie also. finding a room was easy; we stayed at the safari on 13th. eating not so much, after the race, shenanigan’s wouldn’t let katie on their outside deck, so we did an iphone search and found the bayside skillet was dog friendly, and sure enough when we got there they set us up a table on an outside covered deck, turned on the heaters, and we brought katie in for breakfast. the service & food was exceptional, katie got her own water bowl, and we shared both of our dishes with her. i would recommend the bayside to anyone, but for dog people this place is extra special
