Took my Girlfriend to dinner for her Birthday. When we arrived we were only the 2nd, 2-top. No one else. It was quiet and cozy but Our server was amazing and we were able to get some close up attention. I ordered the Caesar and she ordered an appetizer with Tomato, Mozzarella, grilled Zucchini, and roasted peppers. We both enjoyed those. I asked our server: "Branzino or Swordfish"? He recommended both but told me to try the Swordfish. It was AMAZING!! She got the Enochi in pesto sauce.. My GF is Sicilian (SP Sicilian) and rarely leaves any evidence of food on a plate. She couldn't finish the Enochi because the portion was so large. I had em for breakfast.. they were also delicious. We finished with the chocolate moose, which reminded me of a chocolate frosting my G-Pop used to make. It was very good!! 2 apps, 2 entrees, & dessert, plus the cost of the bottle of red - less than $100. Definitely going back . Awesome spot I've driven by thousands of times over many years .. So glad I finally made it in!
I’m becoming a regular to Bistro La Baia because the atmosphere is so cozy and the food is spectacular. The appetizers and entrees have not disappointed in my three visits there. Dessert isn’t at the same level of the meals in my opinion, but still enjoyable. Here are some pictures from my time there recently.
We went on a Saturday for lunch during Restaurant Week. A very cozy and family style place. The food was good and portions were definitely on the bigger side. The service was decent. The Tiramisu and the Panna Cotta were one of the best we have tried.
The downside was that the inside feels very cramped and the tables are too close to each other. Overall a good experience but really wish they would expand the space and make more room. The seating arrangement was not enjoyable.
