Enjoyed our anniversary dinner here, our first time visiting, but we look forward to returning already. I wish I could give 6 stars for atmosphere—the restaurant is beautifully decorated and optimally set up with tables spaced well so that it’s cozy but you can have your own conversation with gentle ambient music and background noise. Every table around us seemed to be enjoying as much as we did. Service was good. Food was excellent.

Came here for a nice night out! Resturaunt wasn’t busy at all. We made a reservation just in case. Seated quickly and our server Amy brought water over immediately. She took our beverage order and those came out shortly after. We all ordered the short ribs, New York strip, lamb burger and pork chop. Everything came out looking great and tasting delicious. My only beef would be the New York strip was VERY fatty. I understand this to an extent but when more than 1/3 of your steak is fat or not chewable, it’s an issue. Especially for 38 a steak. Aside from that, everything was great! Dessert was delicious as well. The black currant creme brulee and the s‘mores were excellent and would highly recommend.

From the moment we stepped into The Baker's Wife, we knew we were in for a special eve. This was, a five-star dining experience from start to finish. Our waiter, Sean, was an absolute revelation. His knowledge of the menu was truly impressive; he didn't just rattle off ingredients, but offered genuine insights into the preparation, sourcing, and even the subtle flavor profiles of each dish. He guided us through the menu with expertise and passion, making excellent recommendations that perfectly suited our preferences. It's rare to encounter a server so genuinely enthusiastic and well-versed, and Sean's recommendations enhanced our meal immeasurably. The meal – simply divine! The head chef is a true culinary artist. Every dish that arrived at our table was a masterpiece, both visually stunning and bursting with incredible flavors. You could taste the dedication and creativity in every bite. From the perfectly balanced appetizers to the exquisitely prepared entrees and the divine desserts, each course was a testament to the chef's skill and vision. It was a truly memorable dining experience, where every dish told a story and left us eager for the next. The ambiance was charming, the service impeccable, and the food utterly phenomenal. The Baker's Wife has officially become our favorite spot. Bravo to the entire team, especially Sean and the brilliant head chef, for crafting such an unforgettable evening!

We came here for the first time tonight and we loved it. Our server, Chris was wonderful! He educated us on the menu, he was polite, friendly and gave helpful suggestions. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. The food was amazing and so was the dessert. We will definitely be returning!

We have driven by so many times but not in a position to stop and try it out. Yesterday the weather was perfect and we finally made it. The restaurant is gorgeous, they had love jazz band, the drinks were great, our waitress was kind and prompt. The food came out quick and was really good. So glad we stopped in for brunch! Will be back for sure.

We stumbled on this gem of a place on a night out, proudly to say I picked it. Ha! Great atmosphere, crafty and delicious work coming from the back of the house, to welcoming and kind service as we dined. Definitely a staple for us! Thank you

We came here for a date night. Being military we don’t get many unless family is in town and since I just promoted, we took advantage of it. This place is absolutely amazing. The service is impeccable and the food is amazing. Ok top of that it is a cozy atmosphere. If this is an indicator, I stopped eating my food to write this review because that’s how great of an experience this is. Much deserving of 5 stars. We will be coming back here for our 11 year anniversary next month. HIGHLY recommend! Pictures are of the NY Strip steak and the New Zealand Lamb Rack.
