    If you like mediocre food in a disco-like noisy environment for a price of a Michelin star restaurant, you have found the place!

    Bailey’s is my go to for all occasions and the owner was kind enough to cater my baby shower on short notice. Perfect for a cozy date night or brunch with family or a friend.

    Our dinner experience was mixed. While the food was very good, the service was mediocre, the atmosphere was loud and tables crowded. The price certainly exceeded the overall experience.

    A great find for brunch. Would definitely return and recommend. Excellent service and fresh, quality ingredient’s. Food was very enjoyable, only complaint was that my poached egg was over cooked.
