May 18, 2026LaurieB980Good food and service, but the evening came with a couple of hiccups!
We came here for dinner before an event at a nearby venue, and enjoyed our meals very much! Their beet salad is one of the best I have ever had, and while the crab cake appetizers were rather small, they were also delicious! We enjoyed their seafood options and my husband had the swordfish entree which was a bit on the small side, but quite good, he said. Our server, Valerie, was very good, friendly, and kind. The only "be aware" part of the evening was the fee that was attached to the food and drink bill called a "hospitality fee" and it turned out to be 3.5% of the total bill. We had to ask what that term meant, and were told that it is the fee for using a credit card there. What made it a bit worse was that the "suggested tips" of varying percentage amounts at the bottom of the bill were made to INCLUDE this "hospitality fee"/the credit card usage fee which seems to be just plain wrong to do! The suggested tips should NEVER include the fee for using a credit card as if it was part of the food and drink people order! If I were one of the judges on Shark Tank, my comment could easily be, "for that reason, I'm out!" Excellent food with great service, but a little "deceptive" with the billing.

July 29, 2023PDXFolksUnique Atmosphere and Freshly Sourced Food
We recently dined for our Wedding Anniversary. I tasked my husband with selecting a spot we'd never been with great food and a casual atmosphere. While he would've happily taken me to an upscale establishment, we simply wanted to celebrate in a laid back way. He made reservations to sit in the bar and they were very accommodating. We ended up at the bar, which we prefer. The atmosphere is very unique with a lot of beautiful wood. The structure is what I think is an old house and includes quaint outdoor seating. Had the temp not been in the 90s, we would've definitely sat outside. The Bartender was friendly and helpful with menu selections. I enjoyed a martini and my husband chose wine. We began with crabcakes which were flawless! The Caesar salad was wonderful as well. It included more of the leafy part of the romaine where I prefer the hearts but small thing really. Our shared entree was Alaskan halibut which was prepared simply and beautifully. We were treated by the house to a small lava cake, topped with high quality vanilla ice cream and fresh berries and it was delightful! All in all, we would definitely return to Baird's on B. We could tell that many customers were regular locals and I can see why. What a cute place to be able to walk to. On a sidenote: a group of young ladies, under legal drinking age were seated at a table nearby and they ordered various mocktails. We watched the preparation and these drinks were works of art - including fresh muddled fruit. With a growing trend of adults choosing to forego alcohol, nice option!

The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor with many exterior stairs to negotiate>very difficult entry if you have a physical disability. The server was cordial and engaging. The restaurant appeared to cater to a local neighborhood crowd. We ordered a burger and fish and chips. Neither were exceptional.. The burger was a frozen patty-the fries were bottom of the bag small peices and odd sizes and were warm & soggy not crisp>The fish was tasteless>had a greasy unpleasant aftertaste...The people were pleasant but the food was lacking........
