    Was very excited to go here for a special birthday and let the restaurant know ahead of time. I also asked for a quiet table because I’m aware it’s somewhat noisy. They did a great job with the table where the noise was not an issue. The birthday part was not acknowledged at the hostess stand and the hostesses were not particularly good at making one feel welcome. The food - was fresh and the quinoa salad greens very tasty - did not think much about the chunks in the salad. Burrata w/fennel was fresh but not scrumptious. For entrees - we had the steak frites- delicious!; seafood pasta - pretty good and served piping hot - but not amazing - I was expecting more flavor; and salmon was a beautiful fillet - cooked flawlessly - however seasoning was uninteresting. The cheesecake was delicious but needed more sauce. Service - was mediocre, impersonal, inattentive and slow at times, server (like the hostesses) did not say welcome or happy birthday in spite of the restaurant being made aware in advance and the birthday guest opening presents. Ambience - ok, nothing special. Lots of tables squished into a boxy space and very bright. I didn’t get a vibe if there was one. Our bill for 3 came to just under $300 with tip. In spite of enjoying the evening well enough, it felt too expensive - and again - no mention of birthday. When we left, we never saw our server and the hostesses didn’t say thank you! I may come back, but NOT for a special celebration. 3.8 out of 5

    Our cocktails, food, and service were outstanding. There were so many delicious choices on the menu, we had a hard time making our selections. We had a wonderful experience and can't wait to return to try several more appetizers and entrees!

    Our first time here and we enjoyed the menu as some very interesting twist on what could be considered comfort food. Everything at our table was delicious and the Calamari app was one of the best I ever had. Service was fantastic and we enjoyed some craft cocktails and a bottle of wine. We will be back

    Our third dinner at Baker & Wife was very good which is no surprise! Our table had the meatloaf, short ribs, Caesar salads. Great service. The noise level is a bit much for us but it’s worth it.
