My partner and I walked by this place loads before they opened, so we were happy to finally see the space. We were there during a slow time (7 on a Wednesday) but still had a great time. Collin took great care of us and made one of the best old fashioneds I've ever had. Excited to visit again soon!
Agree with other posts that the atmosphere is great, and the service is warm and inviting. Recommend the happy hour (old fashioneds are bomb).
We had an early dinner on Saturday night (6pm) and it was fairly empty, but the food was great! The meatballs were tasty, the tonkatsu was tender and the ribs were fall off the bone good.
I visited the space over the weekend and while I generally enjoyed the environment and such, the food and service were lacking. I should preface this comment that the restaurant was understaffed (but that wasn't communicated to us until way into our long-delayed meal).Beyond the slowness of the kitchen, which was again explained after the server neglected to get my order on the ticket, the quality of dishes were equally lacking. The drinks too were also underwhelming, and the salmon was a fatty piece of gristle that looked the part but certainly didn't eat like it.After a more than 20 minute delay between two entrees, we were not offered a comped meal or discount, gestures that would've signaled that they realized their gaffe. Instead, we were hit with a full billI want to like Baby Wale. I truly do. It's beautiful inside but my experience soured me greatly and on top of it all, I'm suffering from food poisoning.I do hope they work out the kitchen flow. It was probably just a bad night. Too bad I had to pay full price for it.

Warm and inviting bar with excellent food.
Had good fish and chips, and discovered a columbard wine, Mont Gravet, which I will be drinking again. I liked it as much as I like well made sancerre wines. If I lived in the neighborhood, I would eat at Baby Wale often.
Originally wanted the fish and chips but they ran out...a blessing in disguise! Second choice was the pork ribs. Ummm glad they ran out of f&c. The ribs best I've ever had. Came with cabbage which was lightly dressed was simply a perfect combo.
I would never recommend this place to anyone. Poor service and the food was disappointing not worth the price they are charging.
Sat at the bar on a Saturday night. Salami pizza was great and the drinks were great. The service, however, was absolutely terrible. The bartender finally took our order after 10 minutes of us sitting down. I would have love to drink more but the bartender never came back. We had to walk over to her at the other end of the bar and ask for the check after about 50 minutes of our first interaction. We were also two of about maybe 20 people in the whole place.
