The place used to be the neighborhood cocktail bar when they first opened but the quality of the drinks and food both seems to have gone downhill. With the amount of competition bars face these days I hope they’ll be able to stay in business.

I really wanted this place to be good as it is in my neighborhood but it turned out to just be downhill from the moment we arrived. Went in the front door and walked downstairs only to be told we had to go back upstairs to the hostess of a different restaurant to be seated which made absolutely no sense. Anyway, we played along only to get a ton of attitude from the hostess and told us our reservation was “annoying”. Finally, get back downstairs 5 minutes later to a lopsided table. We look at the menu…none of the drinks advertised online are on their menu which is the whole reason we went there. We don’t actually get a server until 30 minutes after the start of our reservation when we were just about to walk out. Finally order despite our better judgement which was telling us to leave, confirmed that nothing online is on their menu but so desperately wanted at least one redeeming quality to come from this establishment so we order a round of drinks which arrived two seconds after we ordered them and they tasted like they were out of a can. So glad we waited for that . Best part was how quickly we were able to be rung up for our bill. And we left for another bar nearby.

BABA was such a great place to have brunch. Love the decoration of the place and how the table were set up, not like a regular restaurant. The food was great, very tasty, and the drinks were on point 25cent drinks! The music was awesome and the DJ was great at taking requests and playing all types of genres, he didn’t shy away from any which is great. The place can be a little difficult to find if you are looking for it from your car, and it is located in a basement I will be returning. I highly recommend this place. I had such a great time!

I’ve only been here once and it’s already my favorite restaurant. It’s perfect for date nights or for groups of friends or for everything. I was here with a group of friends and they brought us this really nice ginger drink that was on the house and later in the night they also got us champagne that was also on the house. Hands down the BEST restaurant ever. And the servers are really polite and just genuinely nice. Oh, there’s a DJ at 10 pm. So this place is literally everything. The food is fricken phenomenal.

The drinks are made to perfection and are to die for! We were there on a Friday night and the ambience and crowd is awesome! The re was a DJ playing very good music, the service is great and all of them know their stuff. There was 3 of us and we had cocktails (my limit is always 3) and appetizers (chicken skewers, beef tartar, salmon tartar, risotto…

In the cellar and through the mysterious door you enter into a great looking space with a lot of attention to detail. That detail stopped at the bar and the restrooms. The “craft cocktails” that were tried lacked flavor and I have never had a manhattan served in a martini glass. The bathrooms were really bad which surprised me based on the Google rating of a current 4.6. Also, the fact that the mens restroom door is backwards made me giggle- No one said- “fix it” .

was there last night. the place was beautiful. service was good. however, drink were terrible. vesper martini was watered-down. it was probably shaken. the rest were imbalance; either too sour or too much fruit juice (probably the reason why they can set the prices that way). it looks like they want this place to have speakeasy’s feel. they should to hire better bartender. i didn’t have food, but i believe it probably good since it is ambar’s sister. i want to like this place, but the drinks were just too bad.

The drinks are not as stated on BaBa’s website. They are the same drinks as ambar. I was disappointed in the lack of diversity and misconnect between website and restaurant.

Vibe was great, drinks were terrible and overpriced! VERY limited selection of sub par cocktails. Staff was super unfriendly. The place would be great if they can fix these issues! For now I wouldn’t go back, there are much better drink options and friendlier staff at local establishments.

We went here for a lovely date night, we planned to go to ambar upstairs which has more of a bright brunch vibe whereas baba feels more like a speakeasy.
