This is my second time here, the first time the wife and I both got the filet and dinner was great! Along with the service.
This time my wife got the blackened steak bites and I tried the margarita thin crust pizza. We got the spinach and artichoke dip as an app.
The app and steak bites were great, the steak bites were perfectly cooked , my pizza was good but could be better. The flavor was great but the undercarriage needed to be crispier. I think the problem is they put the pizza on a metal mesh slide in the stone oven so the bottom doesn’t crisp up enough vs if it was actually on the stone bottom of the oven. I feel like that’s important for thin crust margarita style pizzas.
Our server was fantastic as always and we really liked the atmosphere here. I would recommend it for sure

Hands down the best food I've had in months! I recommend the calamari and the Sword fish! There was soo much flavor in everything, drinks were amazing! I loved the Christmas theme. I had a reservation, and I highly recommend making one, it was packed. 15/10 will be coming back. I met the owner and he was so nice and I received a table in less than 15 minutes.

Off the main road in a medical strip mall with ample parking. Ugly entrance with a telephone pole in front of the door.
Inside is nice with tasteful holiday decorations.
We were given a both that was very small. I'm not a large person but the table was against my stomach as well as my skinny friends stomach. There was a party in a side room but the rest of the place was mostly empty so they could gave seated us in a better spot.
Food was average but at a premium price.
Waitress was doing her best but slowed by the party room.
Over all I think I'm generous giving a 3 considering this is an upscale eatery.

My husband and I had dinner at J.Baldwin’s to celebrate my work anniversary. This restaurant was recommended to us by my friend. The food, service and atmosphere were all great. We got aperol spritz and smoke on the water and a red wine for our drinks, calamari and roasted Brussel sprouts as appetizers. We got lamb chops and rib eye steak as our mains. The food was fantastic. Our server Theresa and the other staff were super friendly. Highly recommend.

So it was a pretty bad start our reservation isn't ready, try to wait, ask the host how long this is gonna be and she says these people have been here way over the allowed time. Tells the manager and says they need to go, manager says ok, walks over, pauses, gets cold feet, keeps walking and disappears. Couldn't effin believe it. Reserved the holiday themed area for a reason as we had family from out of town and wanted an extra special experience, so much for that. Sad thing is, that manager, that's it, him. Larger fellow about 6'2" reminded me of a character from a movie w/o courage. Anyway as we sit in the boring side, lamb chops were delicious, meatballs were disgusting, basically got the server to admit there is no wagyu in them. Filet mignon was cooked perfectly and very tender, great cut. Alaskan halibut was great. Cedar plank salmon exquisite. We did get a survey, and did fill it out, I never look for anything from my reviews as far as compensation the review is the review it's what we experienced. But they did send us a $25 gift as a result of that. Not sure when we'll be back, but will hold on to it. They did give us a credit for $17.00 I believe that was for the meatballs almost forgot.
