    Worst food I've ever had

    Went there for a work lunch. We had reservations so we were seated quickly. It was busy but the service was good. Free refills on Ice Tea (but watered down) and pop. The sandwich was basically bread with a few pieces of smoked salmon. The amount of cream cheese was so inadequate that it was almost impossible to swallow. You need some creaminess in a sandwich... Absolutely the most disgusting thing I have ever had in a restaurant. It is a shame because the service was above average... unfortunately with a restaurant, I can take bad service but not bad food....

    Great for dates but better for groups

    I went here to celebrate my boyfriend's promotion and it instantly became one of my go-tos for special occasions (I'm a poor student or else I'd go more often). The great: Service - very friendly with a sense of humour Atmosphere - I'd say 40% intimate, 60% lively and bustling (which is why I recommend it for groups) Wine list The good: Food - wasn't the best but still above expectations The not-so-good: The menu is not very vegetarian-friendly Hard to find

    The food was great. The service was excellent. The prices were fair value. My wife said it was the best anniversary ever. What else can one ask for? You must try the Bauer Tart. Yum, yum. The music was a bit loud which made it difficult for old folks like us to hear the server.

    Good Food

    There was 7 of us at The Bauer Kitchen & we enjoyed the food tremendously. I had the Mussels, Ceaser Salad, Short Rib Gnocci & Strawberry Shortcake for desert. I really loved the Short Rib Gnocci especially. Everything was great. My family mostly had the beef tenderloin & steak. My husband had the Duck & really liked it. I did find it a little tightly packed - tables to close together & also my mother-in-law complained that she found it very noisy. All in all a delicous experience & would definitely go back

    The food alone is going to make The Bauer Kitchen a success

    We were seated in a corner banquette right next to the kitchen which was a little awkward, and the couple sitting next to us was an arms length away. We were asked if we wanted to move but then i took a look around and realized there wasnt any intimate seating anywere. The restaurant is fairly small and it looks like they did what they could to fit as many tables in as possible so dont expect an intimate setting here. The server we had was very straight to the point, took our orders checked on us once, brought the bill. She never offered my date parmesan cheese for his pasta and she never asked us if we wanted to see a dessert menu, she just brought it over. She was very nice but just very straight to the point which i didnt enjoy. Our cod cakes were fantastic! a generous portion of 3 crisp cakes nestled on top a delicious lemon aioli sauce and topped with sprouts and watercrees i think. It was delicous im definately gonna order that again. I had the Brie stuffed chicken which was served with a leek cream sauce veges and mashed potatoes. My chicken was a little dry but the brie and cream sauce disguised it very well. Im not sure if im going to order that one again. My date got the Short rib gnocchi and it was very good and satisfying. The sauce and short ribs were divine, but the gnocchi was a little oddly shaped. They were all shaped and sized differently he even had one piece that was 2-3 inches big and he had to cut it. I found this a little odd. I just never seen gnocchi like that. There are alot of good dessert options here, we had the Strawberry angel cheesecake which was delish and a good sized portion for 2. and again our server never told us what the "tart feature of the day" is. I had to ask. which annoyed me. And she never asked me if i wanted coffe or tea to go along with my dessert either. (I know people dont always have to be reminded and asked but in the restaurant business these little add-ons are crutial to business) All in all we had a nice experience and we will definately visit again. There are alot of great innovative menu choices on there that we just cant pass it up.
