friend's birthday dinner
we went for a friend's birthday dinner. her and her bf love the place. they talk about it all the time. i have heard mixed reviews about the place. going online and checking out menu didn't look too appealing to me. regular food with a high price and over stuffed with "expensive" words for simple ingredients i had a glass of the Chardonnay from usa. excellent should have order 1.2 liter. i shared the sicilian mussel except made not spicy (don't like spicy food). the broth has aromatic and delightful. nice tomatoes, olives and onion broth. mussels were plump and tasty. the table bread was amazing. i usually steer away from bread because it is dry and garbage. but this was warm, soft and fluffy in the middle with a slight chew and crispy on outside. i ordered the shrimp and scallop carciofi (fettucine) made without cream and with tomato instead. the pasta was cooked perfectly, scallops a bit fishy, shrimps were poached perfectly. a bit too much tomato but im a bigger fan of cooked pasta perfect el dente. people sitting around me ordered veggie gnocchi (she loved it), short rib gnocchi (he wolfed it down and wanted more), prosciutto fuselli (she said pasta was amazing too slow portion and prosciutto tasted like bacon, pork chop dinner (thought it was amazing), smoked chicken el la vodka (he said was ok). food was good better than i expected. a bit over priced but it was a friend's birthday.

Not the Best
I really expected more from this restaurant since other friends have been there and recommended it. The atmosphere was extremely noisy and our food, although beautifully presented, was disappointing. The appetizers and deserts were great, however the steak was tough. The drinks are extremely expensive and chintzy on the size.

This is one of my favourite restaurant in KW. I have been there multiple times and I think they deserve a good rating. Food: Their short rib gnocchi is a MUST and their coffee is so good!!! :D Bone Marrow is amazing but if you're on a budget, i recommend the Duck Wings, you get more and you feel fuller! Service: Not to mention their service is impeccable! I can guarantee you all that you will not regret this. On your way out, don't forget to take their sweet treats (minty chocolate).

Awesome!
They had us at the "make your own caesar" bar. Aside from that the food was delicious. Best pizza I've ever had! Our server was knowledgable, friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is beautiful. We will definitely be back.

Pretty Face, High Prices, Mediocre Fare
The Bauer Kitchen looks pretty but don't be fooled by the gorgeous interior - it may resemble an up-scale establishment but this is merely a thin veneer disguising an otherwise sub-par establishment. The restaurant strives to achieve a semblance of ambiance and it does manage to do just that. The decoration is gorgeous with incredible brick and woodwork. The bar is stocked with a perfect mix of liquors, including some decent upper shelf selections and is supported by a decent menu of fashionable cocktails and old favourites. The staff, however, is another story. The hostess barely acknowledged us, speaking very little and wearing a frown that could stop a clock. Our server was brusque, rather snippy and carried on as though we were bothering him; we certainly were not made to feel welcome. Unfortunately, even though the restaurant's appearance is top notch, the overall atmosphere suffers considerably at the hands of its staff. We had a party of six visit for a work lunch and none of us were satisfied with our food, especially at the prices this diner is charging. The server was brutally honest and we should've clued in that something was wrong when we enquired about the special and stated that it wasn't that good - that "none of the meat dishes are flavourful". By the end, some picked through the remains of the plain, tasteless fare whilst others expressed disbelief that their food had been so bland. Being new to the restaurant, I erred on the side of caution ordered the "Bauer Butcher Burger, reckoning that it would be rather difficult to mess up a simple burger. Alas, I was wrong. The server's warning proved true - the burger was poorly done - unseasoned beef with tasteless toppings served on a slightly stale bun and a side of cold french fries. To be quite frank, if the meal hadn't been expensed by our VP and I had been there alone, I would've sent the meal back; being in the company of co-workers and an executive, however, I chose not to make a scene so as not to diminish the moment as we were presenting an award. I will not return because to be frank, if I am to pay prices such as this restaurant charges, I will go to another restaurant where I know I am going to get quality food and service for my money. I do not recommend the Bauer Kitchen and give it a thumbs down - there are other up-scale restaurants in the area that do a much better job at, well, just about everything.
