    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.

    The place was packed! Be sure to make a reservation in season at high times. Kelly was our server and she was outstanding. The atmosphere was great. Both their brunch and dinner menus do have limited items but I want to try almost all of them. Well worth the time to check this place out.

    Such a fun authentic dining experience. There were musicians playing the sounds and rhythms of Havana on one side of the restaurant and the hostess nicely sat us on the far side as requested due to hearing issues for some in our party so while we enjoyed the music and vibes we could also catch up with our friends. The staff is attentive and the food was delicious. We love Cuba 1958; so fun

    I stopped looking for a “favorite” Italian restaurant after I came here. It’s cozy, friendly and serves consistently great dishes. The Trenne Pasta dish is pure comfort food but their Daily Specials board and menu offer other excellent choices. The fish and seafood dishes are also excellent . Just save room for the Limoncello cake—it’s worth the calories!
