We had two wonderful meals here while vacationing on FMB. Cocktails were craft made and perfect. The first night we sat inside and went all-in on the grouper: the grilled version was perfectly flaky and light, and the blackened grouper had that ideal Cajun crust with tender, fresh fish inside.
Second night we snagged a table out on the dock and started with the Crab & Lobster Artichoke Dip, Creamy, loaded with big chunks of lobster and crab, served piping hot. The cast-iron ribeye was juicy, perfectly seared with a gorgeous crust, and the filet mignon literally melted in your mouth.
Service both nights was fantastic. On The Bay is a solid 5/5.

What a peaceful lunch with a view! Enjoy tasty menu items esp the coconut shrimp , and don’t forget the chocolate cookie topped with warm fudge & vanilla cream. Megan, our waitress was a jewel… so friendly & efficient! Just a must go! Parking on site & pd parking near by

We caught them on the second day they had reopened so the staffing was a little chaotic, but no big deal because it didn’t affect our dinner. I’m sure they will get it all settled.
We had the:
Crab lobster and artichoke dip- okay
Frutti di mare aka seafood pasta- great
Catch of the day-mahi- good
The view was nice, the atmosphere was classy, and the food was good. We would eat there again.

Ate here while on our stay at FMB. Liked it so much went back couple of nights later. Food was outstanding with good options. We had scallops one night and filet the next. Liked the fact you had options with your starches and vegetables. Great service and killer views. Have indoor and outdoor seating with live music outside. We chose outside both nights right on the bay no more than 15 ft from table to the bay. Definitely recommend

We came with a large group for a bachelorette. The hosts were very accommodating and our waitress was kind, but she didn’t seem very knowledgeable about the menu.
The cocktails were $15 and tasted like straight mix. The appetizers and crab cakes were good, but the sides were completely bland and unseasoned. We really liked the smoked fish dip. Overall, the food felt very overpriced for the quality.
We also saw water pitchers being filled in a sink labeled “hand wash only,” which was concerning.
Most upsetting, there is no ADA-accessible bathroom. A guest in a wheelchair was unable to use the restroom. That is unacceptable and incredibly disappointing

Drinks were a ripoff – $15 for signature cocktails that were two-thirds icecube. App was good and the service was top notch. I just felt taken by the craft cocktail price at a beach bar.

Last night of our sisters trip, dinner at On The Bay was fabulous. We had the artichoke dip for an appetizer was great. Dinner was the special, mahi mahi was wonderful and a chocolate chip cookie with ice cream for dessert! We had The Brunello red wine that was amazing! So much we ordered a second!! The manager Andrew and our precious waiter Jake made our night a 10/10!
We will be back!
