Food was very good, make sure to check menu before going to ensure they have something you will want. It is a smaller menu, that has an option for everyone, but not multiple options. The staff was phenomenal and this is what will bring me back. Definitely make a reservation.

This is one of the coolest restaurants I've been to in a long time. The food the atmosphere and the staff we're amazing

Nice concept and I loved the atmosphere... The decor plus the atmosphere made for a cozy evening. Bakery and Pickle would make for a perfect first date. You will absolutely love the vibe and the service was spectacular! So if you're in the area and you're looking for a bite to eat or a quick cocktail, do yourself a favor and visit.

Overall we had a very good experience appetizers and desserts were great . Mains were pretty good with one exception. They have an item the are calling a pork steak, which to me implies a thick cut of pork. What I was served eas a 1/4 inch thin gristly dry overcooked peice of pork that had what seemed to be watered down Kraft bbq sauce on it. Avoid this menu item at all costs. Server was good about taking it back and getting me something else, the cottage pie was very good.

Atmosphere was great. Mostly disappointed by the pacing of dinner. We ordered 2 shareable appetizers, one was forgotten until we asked for it. Then the entrées came while we were still trying to enjoy chatting over apps. It was very fast and felt rushed. From checking in to finishing our meal was less than hour. Our fries also tasted completely unseasoned and overall it was very mediocre. :(

Enjoyable first-time experience. Selected the Babyface Experience at $49 per person. Time between “courses” a bit long (they weren’t that busy). Entree served “family style” for our party of 2. All this means is they sell you a single entree and make you cut it in half, literally at the table (protein, veggies, and starch). Without the generous amount of bread, we would have left even more hungry. We split the pork chop and it was overcooked and dry, even with the glazing. Meal, tax, tip for 2 was $129, and we didn’t even order drinks (just water). Won’t be going back any time soon. Glad we tried it out, at least.

Fantastic! Visited for dinner, had their three course price fix. They were able to accommodate allergies and modified the menu for us. We had a delicious meal of salad, drinks, local eggs, pickled green beans, great bread and butter, and swordfish. We had a palette cleanser dessert of sorbet and the banana ice box cake for dessert. Highly recommend!
