    Our Valentine's Day dinner can be summarized in one word: superb! We're grateful to have Baia's level of service and culinary experience in our community - minutes away vs. hour+ to anyplace even half as good (I'll admit I'd still visit here anyway if it weren't)!! The flavors of our dishes were so poignant we've talked about them days later - e.g. getting Tilefish here (!) from off the NJ coast...and expertly crafted lobster ravioli...my wife and I were dazzled by the ingredients, their preparation and final presentation = kudos to the kitchen, and sincerest gratitude to the owners, for giving us such a Chesapeake Bay treasure - we can't wait to go back!!

    We went for Thanksgiving and everyone was so nice and kind! The food was delicious! We weren’t physically able to eat enough food for the price of each plate especially with the kid that eats like a toddler. Next time I will see if we can choose toddler for the ten year old lol. He did love everything but just nibbled as kids do sometimes. But I guess it was worth it since the husband played some slots and won enough to cover the bill! But everyone was absolutely amazing! So nice and helpful.

    The lone bartender trying to serve the entire place on her on on a busy weekend did an outstanding job. Management needs to schedule her help on weekends with multiple weddings.
