   The chef refused to do egg white for our breakfast bowl which was very odd. Two meals came out very salty the other two were yummy. I think the menu was a little pricey for the food amount and quality but it wasn’t bad. The ambience and building added to the experience and allowed us to give them a little grace. Just so-so overall.

   Overall this was a decent meal (for the food and service), service was very good, however for Hampton it was quite pricey and I don’t feel it was worth what we paid. My husband and I spent $120 in just drinks and dessert (2 cocktails, 2 glasses of wine, and 2 desserts.). The apps and dessert were wonderful however $12 for coffee is a bit much without letting people know you’re actually getting French press and not just a cup of coffee. The entrees were extremely disappointing. I ordered the steak au poivre and my husband had short ribs. His were ok, my portion was so small it looked like it was on a plate barely bigger than the bread plate. I could’ve spent $150 on a 4 course meal at Le Yaca and it would’ve had more value. $35 for a hanger steak that wouldn’t have filled up my 10 year old is sad. Not sure I’d go back unless I was ordering apps or dessert to go

   We went as a group of ten women for a fun dinner out. The cocktail and wine selection was extensive and the cocktails were beautiful as well as tasty. With a large group we tried several different entrees. I had the braised short ribs and they were extremely good. I would definitely order them again. I will certainly return and I look forward to sharing the experience with my husband.

   Had a great experience at brunch. Great local band. Delicious food. The coal fired steak n eggs was HUGE. My wifes dish had an issue but the staff and management handled it great. The drinks were delicious too. Great upscale spot. Will definitely be back.

   My husband and I went to Baker’s Wife on a whim and were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful the restaurant was. We were even more impressed by the food and the service. Zach was very knowledgeable and kind. If you want to treat yourself or book a date night, we highly recommend and the Baker’s Wife!! Booking a reservation is also recommended. You won’t be disappointed!

   This place is a real gem. Small menu which I like and the selections are all genuine gourmet. Every dish was top shelf. And the food came out really fast. Service was excellent in all regards. Something for everyone with their wine and martini offerings. And the Opera Tort, oh my.

   Our waiter was very rude and didn’t explain anything on the menu. It has a lot of potential, but service needs to be better. Especially going on Valentine’s Day I did expect something extra and it fell very short. Needless to say we will not be returning.
