The Baker House

9/13, We came here as a big party and rented the whole place for a wedding rehearsal dinner. Food: the food was amazing! The filet and chicken were outstanding and had great flavor!Ambience: it was really good! The downstairs looks so coolService: the service was impeccable! They were on top of everything. They made sure everything was perfect for each table and all the guests!The outdoor space has a really good view of the lake. Definitely a must visit!

I feel bad leaving less than 5 at most places, but yikes. $200 for 2 people, and we both were shocked at the quality of the food. Let's start at the bar. It is very small and cozy, but I couldn't help but to feel so bad for a sweet man that moved so we could sit down. The bartender and the man obviously had a relationship (a regular). The bartender was just railing into the guy about how messy he was eating his pretzels. It put me in a weird spot to stick up for the guy. Then we go to our table Bc there are not enough seats and new people are coming in. We order the Oscar crab and shrimp Dijon. I loved the shrimp Dijon but crab was yuck. Just a bowl with hot crab and hollandaise. I got the salmon and my friend got the prime rib. While she loved the prime rib, her veggies were grossly undercooked. Like she couldn't even get a Brussel sprout on her fork, and her carrot flew off the plate trying to cut it. My salmon looked like chicken. The mussels were lukewarm. The potatoes that were roasted were hard as rock as well. This is a beautiful restaurant with a fun hat wall, you're able to play with and try on. Aside from that, they really need to kick up the quality/execution of the food.

What a shame.....we have been going to the Baker House, on and off, for twenty years. Unfortunately the food and drinks have been mediocre to bad. My wife and I decided to try it again after a year of not going there. The host and our waitress were pleasant and attentive. The interior ambiance is beautiful Victorian, but thats were the good stops.We ordered cocktails that must have been made by a toddler with no bartending skills. The espresso martini was thin and looked much like something you find in your toilet bowl after a bad Mexican meal! Years ago the bartenders were more like mixologists that created crafted cocktails.....what happened? The food...not really sure what to say about the food. The scallops were undercooked and had a metallic taste, very bad!How does the owner of this hotel and restaurant allow such mediocrity? Do yourself a favor and pick somewhere else !

I came as part of a larger group and we weren't seated for a little while, despite having a reservation. One of the hosts welcomed us while we waited and took our drink orders in the meantime, which was nice. However, once we were seated and ordering our meals, they kept running out of things. In particular, it was the chicken. The waiter came back to our table 3 more times to apologize for one less chicken--one by one, all but one person in my party had to change their order from chicken to steak. They took care of this for us in the end but oddly we got a verbal estimate of the bill from the same host/manager?, which was way over the amount for what we ordered. After asking a few times for an itemized bill, we noticed the correct amount. An odd experience. Nonetheless, this is a lovely and historic venue.

Visited tiday for a High Tea! Had a wonderful time and enjoyed the tour of the house that was included as part of the tea. Scones were a little lacking but overall the food and tea was nice. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and told interesting stories !

The Baker House was a great experience. You should go in knowing that it is a tasting menu and thus the menu is limited. However, as long as you see something you like, you will enjoy. The appetizers were quite unique and delicious. I enjoyed some delicious brie and shrimp while my brother had the cheddar and asparagus soup which was better probably! My entree (fish) was very good. The fish was cooked so well! Others enjoyed the cheesecake while I ordered the souffle. I was not very impressed by the souffle as the flavor was not very potent and it was not as moist and fluffy as I would expect from a souffle. Our waiter, I believe his name was Jeremiah, was very kind, funny, and helpful. It was so enjoyable to sit at a fun table and marvel at all of the decorations and knickknacks of the house!

I stopped in to the Baker House on a work trip for some happy hour drinks. I am delighted to say the drinks are impressive as the architecture and views of the restaurant. Except crafted cocktails with a generous happy hour menu. When I'm in town, this will be my regular spot, I mean who can't not love the view with seasonal craft cocktails and a cozy atmosphere.

We stayed at the Baker House a couple of weeks ago while visiting the Lake Geneva area for the first time. The restaurant/bed and breakfast overlooks Lake Geneva. It is centrally located and close to all the restaurants and shops in the downtown area. We ate dinner at the Baker House the first night and also had Sunday brunch. We loved the cold table which had delicious meats and cheeses, yummy cold salads, shrimp cocktail, etc. We spent every night in the bar with bartender, Gianni. He was absolutely fantastic! He made the best drinks and was super sweet. If you're in the area, you must stop by the Baker House to see Gianni. We would most definitely stay at the Baker House again. We loved Gianni & manager, Kevin was also really nice.

We had a great girl's trip here with my 7 year old, sister and 16 year old niece. The ambiance was wonderful and the service was amazing. When our tower of snacks came out it was abundant and varied. I was a touch worried there wouldn't be enough to constitute a meal, but we were all left full and then some. The hats hanging all around this restaurant kept my 7 year old entertained for an hour. The tour offered as part of the High Tea experience was thorough and interesting. We definitely plan on making a trek to Lake Geneva at least once a winter to enjoy this very fun activity!

The food was great. I had Dijon chicken, my better half had filet mignon. Our waitress, Savannah was fantastic. Fabulous!! Will be back.
