Daisy Baker's

I stop in for a drink and a bite two or three times a week and always have an enjoyable experience whether at the bar or at a table.  The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and appear to strive to make your experience pleasurable.  The food only seems to get better each time I try something new.

Overall our food was very good, and the atmosphere was great. My only problem with this place, is that its just a little bit pricey for what you get, but otherwise it was a very enjoyable experience, I'll definitely be back.

It pains me to do this.  And I have been holding off on writing an update, but it must be done.  

The last 2 meals that I have had at Daisy Baker's over the course of the last 365 days were very much meh.  

The waitstaff is all but completely absent and you have to make an effort to get their attention.  

I don't know how hard it is to prepare 3 filet mignon medium rare, but some how guess its super difficult because each steak came out at different levels of done-ness (medium, med-well, and well), all of which I find to be inedible.  My mother, sister, and I all bit the bullet and ate the over cooked meat because we were "starving" after waiting about 35-45 minutes for entrees to arrive after ordering.  

The pairing of the vegetables and starch choices usually provoke an out right "yuck" or a "blah blah bland".  Often times the sides are cold, which just seems wrong, particularly in the middle of the fall or winter.  

I am so sad that Daisy's has fallen down like this.  It use to be my favorite "nice" place to go for dinner in Troy; now I go to the Illium Cafe down the block instead.  

What is going on in the kitchen, y'all?
