   It was moderately crowded in the late afternoon on Sunday. We were seated at the two people table which was quite small for the amount of food we ordered. Also we did not have any space to put away our bags and winter coats so ended up sitting directly on our own coat and having to keep our bag on our lap. The mussels and burger were good but lobster roll was very disappointing. It tasted bland. The customer service was not bad. More space should be given to travelers for stuff.

   Great for brunch! Beware of many families with their babies! Service is ok…nothing to rave about! Food could come warmer! Especially the Shelly eggs Benedict!

   Beautiful space with really great vibe and lighting. A bit disappointed by the food and drinks. Ordered a martini but the waiter had to come by twice to confirm how I wanted it and it still wasn’t very good. Had mussels and broccolini which were great but the branzino was a flop. The waiter said it was new on the menu…they should either change it or take it off. Over would come again but not be adventurous with the menu

   The food and service at Baba was exceptional. The preparation was beautifully executed and service was attentive and professional. I wish that they were open for a longer time.

   we were VERY disappointed - i called the night before to confirm a table in a quiet area if possible and was advised we'd be taken care of and that our reservation time should be OK for that - we arrived and the noise level was deafening and it was elbow-to-elbow crowded - we were offered outside seating but it was freezing - so we accepted an inside table and i had to wear my jacket and mittens for the entire meal plus i couldn't have a conversation with the person i was with due to the noise level - we specifically selected this restaurant for it's mussels but there was no way i could take off my mittens to eat them -and being a rainy night we were not able to go wondering around looking for another place to dine - i understand some restaurants get very crowded but i called the night before and was not advised properly - their entire upstairs had an event going on which decreased the seating availability significantly and if i'd been told that when i called the night before i would definitely NOT have selected this restaurant- our waiter, Jack, was kind and understanding, but all the "managers" we were involved with about the misinformation we received the night before didn't offer us anything for the inconvenience or anything to accommodate us any better - i hesitate to return even tho we enjoyed the mussels in the past

   Outstanding from start to finish. A+. The Baba popup (18-22 Nov) was especially delightful.

   I had to add 2 additional guests to my reservation at the last minute. The staff accommodated us and we sat outside. Our server Aidan was fantastic. The food was delicious as always and the added benefit of having a quiet spot where we could easily talk made for a wonderful dining experience. Thank you

    Absolutely delicious! Further, our waiter was amazing, and I can't believe I didn't get his name. A perfect evening.
