We were really looking forward to trying Baker's Table after everything we've heard. We had the 5…read morecourse Tasting Menu for $90. per person. we have had many tasting menus before and left feeling very disappointed with our experience. The portions for even a tasting menu were extremely small. My entee (salmon) came out not hot. Our server was not attentive (never once refilled our water glasses or asked if we enjoyed any of our dishes). Overall we were left with the question of: what is all the fuss about with this restaurant? We will not be back.

My husband brought me to Baker's Table for my birthday dinner. I first became aware of this place…read morewhen I started getting ads for the chef's sourdough book on social media--got the book for Christmas, and apparently talked about that enough that he decided I needed to experience the restaurant! What's striking about the restaurant itself is how quiet and calm it feels. With limited nightly seatings and every dinner table doing the tasting menu there's a sort of orchestrated flow that permeates the space. Not to say energy is low or it's so quiet you feel self-conscious talking; it's just that nothing about the experience feels rushed or accidental. As expected, the bread course was phenomenal as was all the food we enjoyed! We opted for the wine pairing along with dinner, which results in about 1.5 or 2 full glasses over the course of the meal. The sommelier did an excellent job introducing and explaining each wine, as well as why it was selected to pair with each course. All told, a lovely experience and one worth repeating--and not just because the menu changes every season.

We discovered this place nearby our hotel and were looking for a good brunch spot. The reviews and…read moremenu looked good so we gave Maplewood Kitchen a try. The space is open, bright and well decorated making it very inviting for brunch. You order at the counter from the menus placed along the wall then food is delivered to your table. The various brunch items all sounded very inviting so I was having trouble deciding what to order. So I got a recommendation to try the Shakshuka. Not sure how to pronounce it but when it arrived it was just the right portion and quite tasty for brunch. It's a bowl with a red pepper sauce and feta cheese and kale along with eggs sunny side up. The dish is served with pita so you can do a little bit of dipping in the tasty sauce. To accompany our food we selected the mimosa service and bloody mary pitcher. A pitcher is just perfect for sharing. And the mimosa service was delightful. The server arrived with a bottle of Prosecco and small carafes of orange, grapefruit and blood orange juices to mix yourself. The food was fresh and tasty with prompt delivery of our food to our table. Not quite a full service restaurant since you have to order at the counter but still a nice experience located downtown.

I decided to get some orange juice and Otto's Benedict, and I was really happy with my choice. I loved the hollandaise sauce, the ham, and the grit cake together. I think the ingredients really complemented each other. I think the portion was a good size as well! The prices were all very fair. I love this quaint and cozy brunch spot!

I enjoyed the casserole and gouetta which I'm probably spelling so wrong. The mimosa was literally made with a slash of the flavoring so be careful when consuming. If I didn't have a 7+ hour drive back i would have ordered more drinks during the meal . I really like the cinnamon roll which was gooey, semi sweet, sticky, buttery, and savory. The frosting wasn't over the top and the dough consistency reminded me of a fresh baked pretzel. If you don't mind the sidewalk you may dine outside. Overall 4.2 out 5

We were greeted quickly after walking in, grabbed a menu and a couple drinks and ordered at the counter. I ordered the Nashville Hot Honey Chicken with fries and she ordered the chipotle grilled chicken. Both of our sandwiches lacked flavor especially my Nashville Hot sandwich. Fries were plain jain with hardly anything that stuck out. The main star of the show was the big portion of Brussels, they were good but again still needed some seasoning.

Don't get me wrong, i love Waffle House so no shade here butttttt sleepy bee did not meet my expectations in the slightest. Waffle House is actually better than sleepy bee. The place was not clean... and I can see past a little messiness during a rush but the cups were even dirty, menus were stained and messy as well, and then the restaurant itself didn't look well maintained. The food was below par. I ordered the worker bee which is a traditional breakfast but my sausages were hard as rock.... The eggs were def sitting for 15 minutes before they got to me. &The potato's were okay. I would pass on this restaurant.

We both ordered Bloody Marys, which were good although we didn't get the lime or extra olives we asked for. I ordered the philly cheesesteak omelet.

One piece of toast and no potatoes. Won't go back since we can get much better food at First Watch or Wild Eggs, for the same price or less.
