    As always, we had a great time at Bakes at the holiday concert. What an amazing group of musicians!!! The food wasn’t quite as good as hoped. I always have the coconut shrimp. The wu tutu and quality was there, but what happened to the bed of salad that helped make it a meal? The red cabbage (I think) was pretty, but not really for eating. But overall it was a good night. I recommend Bakes Place to everyone!

    I was pleased with my soup/sandwich/salad lunch today. All three were delicious. I am still trying to adjust to restaurant prices post covid and post inflation. In the context of these changes, the price seemed reasonable. Service was GREAT. I LOVE that they offer seltzer water as an option to still water. I confess that I cannot hear well any restaurant, so I struggled to hear there as well. I would love to find a restaurant that understood the pleasure of quiet dining and would install fabric baffles from the ceiling or carpet to mitigate all the deafening impact of hard surfaces. If I do go out again though, I would consider coming back here.
