My steak was over-cooked. The chef came out to our table. He he was contentious, bllamed the wait staff. Clearly he was underskilled and very unprofessional. And the steak was only mediocre, in flavor, at best. Disappointing experience to say the least.

Wonderful cocktails to start a delicious dinner. Salmon was perfectly cooked and the Korean meatloaf was spicy but super good. Try the tiramisu. Yum!!

I don't know what took us so long to get here. We should have been here years ago. Our meal was special. We loved the tiger shrimp. The service was great. Everything about Baker & Wife was fabulous.

We are regulars @ B&W it’s one of our favorites in Sarasota - we miss their pizzas 😢 but using the brick oven for entrees has added a lot to the flavor profile ! Service is always professional that’s not always the case here in sunny Florida ;) cocktails are some of the best anywhere - you can try something new or they’ll make it the traditional way. That said, the Tequila Old Fashioned was amazing !!

Sitting at the bar is always a pleasure watching the bartender is like watching a Broadway show. He is just so competent and focused. The food was delicious delivered efficiently by the servers. Everyone was attentive. The environment is perfect. I love this place.

Very disappointed to be stuck at a table with other people we didn’t know and when reviewing the menu we discovered they eliminated all of their wood fire grilled pizzas. We left the restaurant. It was one of our favs but won’t be back.
