My husband and I arrived early for our table reservation. Decided to have a Cocktail at the bar while we waited for our table where we were promptly greeted by a bar tender who immediately identified himself ( Dannon) and gave the Names of the rest of those working in the bar that evening, asked for our names and truly was exceptional. So much so that we decided to give our table reservation up and had dinner at the bar with Dannon as our server. We had exceptional, friendly and fun service making our 30th Wedding Anniversary date night all the better. Oh! and the Food was amazing.

We love coming to Baker’s Street! Our server, Mandy, was so friendly, personable, and made our dinner experience delightful. We were so surprised when the manager so graciously had an extra meal prepared because the original serving portion was too small. Wow…what a generous gesture and the meal was so delicious! Thank you for making our dining experience special.
