Baker & Wife

Baker & Wife is my new go-to place to try the most delicious cocktails and food. My most recent visit brought me the pineapple martini, ribeye and chocolate torte - everything amazing and delicious. The service has always been stellar and the whole vibe of the restaurant is very relaxed yet you're made to feel like the most important person in there. Cannot recommend enough!

Had dinner last night. Perla was our server. Started with the spicy crispy shrimp which was actually a salad. Pro tip- it is quite spicy so if you don’t like spicy it’s probably not your dish. I had the meatloaf and my wife the sea bass catch of the day. Both were delicious. Another pro tip-meatloaf while delicious it could feed two people or a teenager. Also had their “the last word “ cocktail which was close to a gin gimlet and very tasty. Service was good but wasn’t much to do as I had done my due diligence on what to order from their instagram posts showing the food and cocktails.

An absolute gem! Despite having explored the entire menu, I find myself eagerly anticipating the day I can return to Baker and Wife. The incredible fusion of delicate flavors, meticulously balanced ingredients, and the elegantly simple presentation is something I'm already yearning for. The inviting ambiance at Backer and Wife makes it perfect for enjoyable evenings, whether with family or in the company of friends. The cocktail selection strikes a delightful harmony between light and refreshing options, as well as more spirited choices, ensuring there's always something to sip on for enthusiasts of stronger libations. This establishment is a must-visit for anyone looking to broaden their culinary horizons. The sophisticated blend of tastes, the impeccable presentation, and the inviting atmosphere make Baker and Wife an essential destination for those seeking a truly memorable dining experience!

Baker and Wife Restaurant is more than just a dining destination; it's a culinary adventure crafted by the talented hands of Chef Isaak, undoubtedly the best chef in Sarasota. The moment you step inside, the European atmosphere embraces you, as the aromas of amazing meals like meatloaf, pizza with prosciutto, Georgian khachapuri with cheese, and perfectly cooked steak fill the air. The wine list, carefully curated to complement the menu, offers a good choice of wines, from well-known classics to hidden gems. Each bottle has been selected to elevate the dining experience, providing a taste of Europe's finest vineyards. But it's the food that truly shines, all thanks to Chef Isaak's mastery and creativity. The meatloaf is a homey delight, tender and rich. The pizza with prosciutto is a symphony of flavors, with the salty prosciutto perfectly balanced by the freshness of the toppings. The Georgian khachapuri with cheese is a showstopper, and the steak is grilled to perfection, a testament to the chef's skill. I find myself drawn back to Baker and Wife Restaurant week after week, embarking on what has become a long but incredibly pleasant journey through the entire menu, including the ever-enticing weekly specials. Chef Isaak's innovative creations never cease to amaze, each dish a new chapter in this delightful culinary exploration.

I look forward to continuing my culinary journey and wholeheartedly recommend this exquisite establishment to all who appreciate the art of fine dining. See you soon, Baker and Wife, for yet another unforgettable evening!

First time to dine at Butcher & Wife and I can easily say it’s now my absolute favorite spot. I love the location and parking was easy peasy. There were families enjoying their meals as well as couples, so inviting to everyone. The decor was clever and a fabulous ambiance. I loved that you can make a reservation to sit at the bar, which is what we did. Fabulous mixologist (I think his name is Michael?). I enjoyed a basil-cucumber martini. Our server was delightful. I ordered a cantaloupe prosciutto burrata salad for my app and the beat salad for dinner. If you’re a vegan, there’s plenty to choose from and if you’re not, bingo! We watched the pizzas being made and they looked delicious too. I took a sneak photo of a dessert going out…next time! I look forward to returning and I highly recommend.

My very first time there. Why did I wait so long? Amazing meal! From the seasonal fresh fruit Margarita to the Caesar salad, Scallops with risotto, calamari, and the desserts…OMG the desserts! The flourless chocolate cake was out of this world! And the service was top notch! I can’t wait to go back. Hats off to the Chef! Incredible experience.
