    I love Baker and Wife especially when sitting at the bar. I watch the bartender create the drinks, It's like a fantastic show. The cocktails are excellent, and chilled to perfection. The food is delicious, I had the SPICY THAI RED CURRY SEAFOOD & LINGUINE, perfectly spiced. Great staff. Make a reservation for table or bar.

    We have come here every year and enjoyed the menu .... especially the amazing pizza.The menu has changed dramatically and although our meal was fine, we do not plan on returning because of the new menu! Has the management changed?

    First time at this restaurant and several people were waiting outside for the doors to open at 5 PM when entering, I thought the look of the restaurant was fabulous from the lighting to the decorations on the walls to the bar, which is meticulously neat as a bit. Our server came quickly, brought us water and beverages of choice. We ordered the short ribs with fettuccine and it was out of this world delicious I plan to go back again.

    Don’t waste your money here. I used to love this place for its cozy atmosphere and unique dishes, but it’s not the same anymore. After a disappointing experience, I decided to give it another chance, only to be let down again. I called earlier in the day to confirm if they could accommodate a vegetarian entrée for a family member with dietary restrictions. The receptionist seemed inexperienced and clueless, eventually transferring me to someone who I assume was a manager. He assured me they could prepare pasta with vegetables. However, when we arrived, our waiter, seemed overwhelmed by our request. Despite explaining that we had called ahead, he appeared flustered and informed us that the kitchen could only prepare a salad—something we had already ordered as an appetizer. When I asked again about the pasta, he flatly said no. The issue wasn’t just their inability to accommodate but the dismissive and unprofessional attitude so we requested the check without ordering entrees, much to the waiter’s apparent shock. For a restaurant charging premium prices, the service was unacceptable. With such high staff turnover, it’s no wonder the quality has declined. Save your money and go elsewhere.

    A solid meal for the 4 of house. Pork osso buco was the highlight. Nice wine list. Service was excellent.
