Bayonet opened in 2025 in the Berry Building on 2nd Avenue North, next door to Helen, as the second room from Chef Rob McDaniel and Emily McDaniel. The venue calls itself a spirited raw bar and seafood-forward restaurant that works with Gulf fishermen and regional farmers. Its own press list prints Michelin Bib Gourmand (2025), Bon Appétit Best New Restaurant (2026) and a James Beard Outstanding Chef semifinalist nod for McDaniel in 2026. Happy hour runs Monday to Saturday from 3 to 5 and complimentary valet starts at 4:30 for dinner guests.
