Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Baker's Wife Bistro + Bar delights with "fantastic food" and "excellent service." Diners rave about the "flavorful and delish" dishes like crab and grits, and specialty cocktails. The "gorgeous" ambiance and live jazz brunch add to the charm. It's a "fine dining and French fusion" experience you shouldn't miss.

The food was excellent, though portions are not large and the menu is limited - think European since it is a French restaurant rather than American. The ambiance was nice and relaxing. I went on a Sunday during their Jazz brunch. However, there is not a live band they just play Jazz music through their sound system, which was a pleasant surprise since I was a little weary about the possibility of them having a live band and it being too loud. I think if the restaurant would have been louder if every table was utilized and due to the high ceilings. Overall, I was very, very happy with my first visit. I will go again.

What a delight! The lamb shank was truly amazing! Tender, moist, and delicious! This place is well worth braving the road construction coming up from Norfolk!

Every occasion at Baker's Wife is a special one! It's one of our "go to" restaurants for taking friends and family out for dinner. Service is always immaculate, the food is always delicious, and the vibe is on point. You can never go wrong with the Tomahawk ... it's large enough to split between 2-3 people, and cooked to perfection every time.
