Customer Reviews
Delicious fresh food, locally farmed, and creative! I met my mother and sister for lunch, we had so much fun, the food was amazing, the staff was very friendly and informative, we chatted with our neighbors, it was a really great time! 12/2025 my family met at Bailey's to celebrate my mother's birthday and we had a great time, the atmosphere at Bailey's is festive, the staff is so nice. We all enjoyed our food very much, the menu has so many choices and I can't wait to return to try the Scallop Ceviche... today I had the Turkish Eggs and they were phenomenal. I also had a virgin Bloody Mary which was really delicious, they make it themselves.
Everything was insanely delicious from start to finish. The whipped feta with pickled strawberries was creamy, tangy, & the toast points perfectly crunchy; the lamb bucatini was flavorful, pasta cooked to perfection, the burrata a wonderful addition; the drunken noodles an explosion of flavor. We finished with the black forest cannoli which was absolutely incredible, the cherry flavor was rich, the Nutella & Cannoli cream perfect without being too much. The best part may have been our waiter, TJ. He was helpful & charming & made us feel welcomed. We will definitely be back! (Pictures of the entrees, we ate the app & dessert too fast for pic)
Ate outside on a lovely summer evening. The food, service and ambiance were all perfect. We started with the Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts and Rice Crusted Ahi Tuna. Both were amazing! I ordered the burger (not on the menu) and it was fantastic! My husband loved his halibut special. Wish we lived closer so we could go more often but it’s worth the drive.
It’s been a few years since we’ve been and I sadly have to downgrade my review. We were seated for about 15 minutes when we were asked hurriedly if we wanted drinks and that someone would be with us shortly. Drinks came but it took about half an hour from when we arrived for our order to be taken. We watched tables around us seated at the same time have orders taken and their delicious corn bread served while we sat. Seems we were ignored or forgotten about. Food came quickly after the order had been taken but the long overdue date night with the wife was degraded by then. Food was good. Drinks were ok.
What a gem! This place was absolutely great. The restaurant is very cozy, really good vibes from the minute you get in. They started us off with some warm cornbread, it was nice and warm and tasted so good! For our appetizer we had the burrata which was absolutely delicious. I had for my lunch the Philly Cheesesteak which must have been the best cheesesteak I have eaten outside of Philadelphia. The steak was so tasty and flavorful and plentiful. It was served with peppers and onions with a little jalapeño kick. I truly enjoyed it. My girlfriend had the apple/Brie panini and she absolutely loved it. We will definitely be back to try other items on their menu. The servers were excellent. They were quick and attentive, offering great suggestions.
