Bake's Place

I spent over $180 patronizing this place plus $40 for two tickets to the show.  The owner rudely shushed me and my friend in a loud bar setting.  He was extremely rude and condescending and positively ruined my evening with a friend I haven't seen in almost a year. Go to Jazz Alley and have a better time. Do not patronize. Owner Craig Baker is incredibly rude and disrespectful to clients.

Had a wonderful time at Bake's tonight. Great atmosphere, service and food. The entertainment was well worth the $20 cover charge. Thanks Craig for taking time out to chat with us. Will definitely be back!

New menu at Bake's Place which is a downgrade from prior menu - likely to attract weekday workers' penchant for mediocre bar food.   Bring back Diver Scallops!

Cheese Plate: 9/10 - very good with homemade preserves

Ginger Baker Cocktail: 1/10.  Horrendous Orange Julius gone bad, way too sweet, funky and unpleasant after note.  Drank a few sips and gave up.  Bartender said 40% get returned!   Seriously!   Maybe that tells you something.  Then bartender blamed the recipe - LOL.  Stay far away

Burger: 3/10 - Ordered medium, came well but told that new meat shows darker than cooked.  Seriously, you can't make this stuff up.  Flavor was good just dry and had 50% more bun than necessary.  That and their fancy bun disintegrated on the burger making it a fork an knife item.

Potato salad: 3/10 - Tasty, at least the part where the cook actually diced the potatoes.  One lump served with burger. 3/4 of serving was three large chunks of potatoe.   The 1/4 of reasonable cuts were nicely seasoned.

Wine By Glass Menu:   Pricey, quick checks on bottles showed prices 4X over BevMo prices. I don't blame them as now that the menu is downgraded they need the revenue increase.  That being said, for $14 a glass, lets have something decent.
