This was our first time here. Menu selections are great and varied. Had the Korean BBQ meatloaf and it was so good; sweet and spicy and very, very filling. Would definitely have it again. The salmon was also excellent as was the short rib fettucini. We all cleaned out plates . Banana pudding dessert was a winner as well. We particularly liked the pace of the meal; having time to have cocktails without any rush to order. Service was excellent. The only drawback is the noise level. It gets very loud and can interfere a little with conversation. But we will go back.

Baker & Wife has never disappointed. The dishes are creative and well-cooked, the waitstaff are attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere is like a neighborhood bistro. This visit, we ordered the meatloaf with Korean bbq sauce which was excellent and the salmon which was flavorful and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend Baker & Wife to anyone looking for a great place to dine.

Both food and service are always outstanding. Love the seafood pasta and the meatloaf is so much better than what you might expect from basic comfort food. The chocolate dessert is excellent.
