Owner was extremely rude. Bar tender had giant frown, did not smile one time. Restrooms were dirty, food was cold. I'm surprised they stay in business. Apparently the tourist crowd keeps them busy. Only people that haven't been there before. Someday it will catch up to them. You can have terrible service forever without paying the price.
The atmosphere was awesome, and the food was really good. We sat on the outside deck, and the view was great. The staff was friendly, the portions were large, and did I mention the beautiful view? We had a great experience, and would highly recommend Baia!
Poorly managed: inconsistent seating arrangements; sometimes you can order food at bar high tops, sometimes you can't; long wait, but lots of open tables. Can you order food at the bar, and then eat it at the high tops? Who knows? You used to be able to order sandwiches for dinner on the deck...not anymore...now it's the same fine dining menu for both inside and outside, but they don't tell you that until you've waited an hour for a table and are handed the menus. The food itself is good, but takes forever. One member of our party's meal came out at least 30 minutes before the rest; he was finished eating by the time the rest of us got our meals. The servers are very polite and attentive. The bread/bus guy was extremely helpful and made sure we didn't starve while waiting. The owner/manager seemed receptive to our criticism, and offered us a gift card. So, we'll give it one more try. But, they really need to rethink how they use the deck; it's not the most conducive space for fine dining. At the very least they should make clear that the menu for the deck has changed before customers wait an hour expecting to order something that is unavailable. Here's hoping they can get it right, because they have the best bayside deck at the shore...the perfect space to take in the sunset and enjoy a few cocktails and sandwiches after a long day at the beach.
Went to this restaurant first time with the whole family. Food was good, atmosphere was great. The bread was awesome with garlic and olive oil! We had the salmon (great), lobster ravioli (great), chicken parm (great), arugula salad yum. The only thing I didn't love was the New England clam chowder, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't worth noting. Service was terrific, people were very accommodating. Highly recommend.
This place is not worth the time or effort !! Please do not go there. We were told it was an hour and a half wait. we were happy to take the wait sitting at the bar. After a half hour the bartender told us that we should probably leave because the kitchen was no longer going to serve food as they were too backed up. Ridiculous to have the staff tell you not to stay and eat food at a restaurant. Defeats the purpose of actually going to a restaurant?? When the food came two hours later - the chicken Marsala had no sauce or mushrooms and was two dry tenderloins - not even a breast. I will say the manager was very polite and removed the chicken from our bill, but that's not enough to get us to go back. Peace and love!!
I wish the stars could go negative.
