The Baker's Wife Bistro + Bar delights with "fantastic food" and "excellent service." Diners rave about the "flavorful and delish" dishes like crab and grits, and specialty cocktails. The "gorgeous" ambiance and live jazz brunch add to the charm. It's a "fine dining and French fusion" experience you shouldn't miss.

What a delight! The lamb shank was truly amazing! Tender, moist, and delicious! This place is well worth braving the road construction coming up from Norfolk!

Every occasion at Baker's Wife is a special one! It's one of our "go to" restaurants for taking friends and family out for dinner. Service is always immaculate, the food is always delicious, and the vibe is on point. You can never go wrong with the Tomahawk ... it's large enough to split between 2-3 people, and cooked to perfection every time.
