No crisp at all - rather a serving of while very tasty, but chewy not crisp, calamari. The pan fried grouper special entree was good but not noteworthy. The Quilted Shroom pizza, after having been outstanding on our previous visit was disappointing and a bit soggy. The worst part of the experience was being told they had no coffee when my wife attempted to order a cup before our meal. Since we were celebrating my wife’s birthday, we intended to, and did, order the flourless chocolate square dessert. Since we were told they had no coffee, which we prefer with dessert, we had to order it to take home - where we enjoyed it with our own coffee. NOTE: After leaving the foregoing review, which I've now revised slightly, the Owner / Chef of Baker & Wife reached out to me by phone. He apologized and explained the confusion our server had about availability of coffee (they did in fact have coffee). It was nice that the Owner made that effort, and I appreciate it.

Daniella was kind, personable, funny, and really seemed to enjoy the menu as much as we did. I had the “Catch of the Day” grouper with chili sauce. Magnificent! My husband had the Black Truffle Burger which again, I will continue to say, THE BEST BURGER IN SARASOTA! We find it to be a sin if one of us doesn’t get it and we try our best as a married couple to share our entrees. Unfortunately, we find ourselves each time we have the burger, fending off the rogue fingers from across the table from the opposite spouse. In this case, sharing was a lost lesson in preschool.
