My husband treated me to Baker Street Steakhouse for my birthday. The place is just classy. The…read moreinterior is a mixture of black and wood and gold accents. White linen table cloths flank both booth tables and freestanding tables. The chairs are comfortable leather ones that slide in and out easily. It's beautiful inside! There is soft jazz style music playing in the background. Our appetizer was delicious crab cakes. I don't even like crab, and I'd eat these as a meal! We also ordered French Onion Soup. Yall.... This. Soup. Will. Slap. Your. Tastebuds. I wanted to go back into the kitchen and crawl into the soup pot and swim around. It is soo tasty!! The flavor is bold and the cheese is thick and what a cheese pull! My mouth just watered at this! We also had a pretzel bread. It came with delicious, sweet cinnamon butter. We loved it! For our main, we ordered the steak medallions and mushroom risotto. People...... The steak was cooked PERFECTLY! It was so easy to cut, and it melted on your mouth. The seasoning was delicious! The mushroom risotto was the perfect consistency--creamy and scrumptious goodness. This dish is PHENOMENAL!!! To finish, we had a warm, moist, and delicious carrot cake with cream cheese icing, caramel drizzle, and topped with walnuts. There is cinnamon ice cream on the side. We were so happy because most times, carrot cake we order out is dry--but THIS cake was TOP NOTCH! Megan, our server, was kind and prompt. She kept our drinks filled, and she did an excellent job at timing things to come out to us. Baker Street Steakhouse is a MUST-have restaurant in Fort Wayne. You won't be sorry for going.

We were seated immediately. Nice corner booth. It was nearly empty so we had a very quiet, romantic atmosphere for his Birthday Meal. Our server, Megan, was very friendly and on top of things. We ordered crab cakes for an app as well as a cup of French onion soup each. We could make a meal on that alone. The crab cakes were fantastic and the French onion soup was to die for. INCREDIBLE! The pretzel bread with cinnamon butter is very tasty. The butter is so soft and filled with cinnamon. We then ordered the filet medallions with wild mushroom risotto. We love our steaks medium rare. These were cooked to perfection. Melt in your mouth goodness! The seasoning was amazing! Very delicious. The only issue was the one long strand of hair on the edge of my plate. I spoke to the server about it to make sure better care is taken in food prep in the kitchen. She said she'd talk to the manager. Husband received a free birthday dessert. He chose the warm carrot cake drizzled with caramel and walnuts with cinnamon ice cream. It was moist and so delicious. The birthday candle was a nice added bonus. Will definitely be back!

Coyote Creek Bar & Grill (Hillegas Road/just across the interstate bridge) - large menu, good food,…read moreno rush I will keep this review short. Coyote Creek is set at the golf club on Hillegas Road. It's it's south of the highway 30 over pass and north of where Coliseum Blvd meets Hillegas. We love eating here when we can sit out on the patio. Eating inside is nice as well. It is a large facility that is easy to get a table. Good for larger groups too! They have a large menu with specials. Their bar can meet most all your needs as well. Overall their prices are pretty reasonable. The team here hustles and does their best to serve you well. The picture included is for their fish, shrimp and hushpuppy entree. Lots of popcorn type fried shrimp. Fish is cooked similar to Big Eyed fish - nice and flaky, thinner batter. The hushpuppies are smaller, sweet and moist. Cole slaw is very creamy. Good choice if you like fish!

Decent BBQ joint on North end of town…read more.. Dropped by Lucille's for the first time on Friday for a work lunch with the crew... Been meaning/wanting to try for a while, but have never got around to it. Ok experience, but there's some areas of attention needed. Pros: Friendly/quick service, outstanding brisket, excellent bbq sauces (I particularly liked the vinegar and spicy sauces), and large portions. Cons: Over-priced, average at best sides, extremely smoky in dining room, and dirty/run down restaurant. Overall our experience was good, but the smoke in the dining room was a real problem that actually had my eyes burning/watering while we were eating (it literally looked like an AARP Club Catholic Church bingo event, it was that smoky inside the restaurant), the food is stupid expensive ($35 lunch, one person), and the sides just weren't good (bland coleslaw and broccoli salad). The restaurant also needs a facelift and desperate deep clean... It had that dirty, grimy, sticky feel on the floors and tables (presumably from all the smoke in the dining room). I still consider Shigs n' Pit to be the far and wide the best BBQ in town, but Lucille's has the potential to be really good if they can make some adjustments, improvements, and clean the place up.

Joe (the owner) was really involved and spent time talking to the guests, you can tell he is engaged and passionate about Paula's.

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by two hosts who were both very pleasant. We were seated immediately and accommodated our request to sit near the bar. The ambiance is absolutely striking. While chic and polished, the interior also gives off elegant Caesars Palace-inspired design vibes--grand, dramatic, and visually captivating. The bar setup is truly breathtaking and instantly draws you in, making it a perfect spot for a date night or celebratory evening. Our server, Dawn, truly made the night exceptional. She was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, and her recommendations were spot-on. We ordered the lasagna and the salmon with potatoes and spinach--both dishes were beautifully seasoned and full of flavor. The drinks were just as impressive. We enjoyed Uncle Nearest Nearest (which came with an ice cube stamped with an "A"--such a great attention to detail), a Luxy Lady, and prosecco--everything was a hit. I've seen a few comments about portion sizes, but we felt they were perfectly aligned with what you'd expect from an upscale restaurant--satisfying without being overwhelming. The only reason I didn't give a full five stars was due to the manager (or who I assume was the manager). He stood nearby for long periods without engaging with guests--no greeting, no smile--just an uncomfortable, awkward presence that felt a bit like being stared at. Most managers on the floor interact with guests, so this stood out. Aside from that, we had a great experience and will definitely be returning in the future.

Amore - gourmet Italian in a fine dining atmosphere…read more Amore is not for everyone. It is expensive and the portion sizes are smaller relative to the entree cost. Slow paced-finer dining is not everyone's cup of tea. However, these are things that I enjoy and I chose to celebrate my birthday at Amore! Amore is located on the renovated Pearl Street. This has been an amazing transformation for those of us that remember the days when Pearl Street wasn't a family friendly destination. You may park free on the street or free in the large parking lot west of the restaurant. Making reservations is very easy via the website. I would definitely encourage you to make reservations if you want to eat during the prime dinner hours. The host and wait staff are professional and very friendly. The facility is beautifully decorated in a modern decor. The large bar and bottle rack is very attractive. You will find the seating to be very comfortable. The table linen, dishes and glassware complement the whole atmosphere. At least I feel all these things set the foundation for an excellent dining experience. Dining at Amore was about a two hour, relaxed and enjoyable experience. We started the night with the small focaccia bread. The bread comes cut into tall cubes that can be pulled apart and dipped in the Parmesan sauce. The crust is a bit tough with a soft inner breading. It has a classical Italian bread flavor. The olive oil dip has a thick bed of Parmesan at the bottom. Thick enough that you need to use the spoon to apply the delicious mixture to the bread. Definitely a must get!! The small size is perfect for two people. My wife ordered the mushroom ragú campanelle pasta dish. The pasta is made on site into a special "cone" shape. It is perfectly cooked to a firm but tender consistency. The mushrooms tasted very fresh and comprised a thinner sauce. The sauce had a bit of that mushroom-beef taste along with a moderate amount of Romano cheese taste. This dish was topped with an innovative cashew ricotta cheese dollop. The ricotta accented the noodles, mushrooms, Romano sauce nicely with a slight hint of cashews. Excellent dish! I went with the meat lasagna. The homemade noodles were very thin - perhaps 1/2 the thickness of a normal lasagna noodle. This made the dish lighter and moist. The noodles were perfectly cooked and layered with a bed of beef, pork and cheese. The mixture, while prominent, didn't over power the noodles. The lasagna was surrounded by a moat of white wine crème sauce. I was a little skeptical of this as it isn't usual. The white sauce was very smooth with a moderately thick consistency. It adds more moisture to the baked noodles and pulled out the meat and cheese mixture tastes. Another outstanding dish! Amore made the birthday dinner special with a complimentary personalized birthday card and chocolate lava cake. The card was individually signed by many members of the team - never seen that in my years of dinning out! The lava cake is not to be out done! The cake was firm on the outside but moist and warm on the inside. The cake had a rich chocolate taste. It came with a lava sauce baked inside and a container of extra sauce to pour over the top. That sauce had a more mild chocolate taste but still delicious. It also came with a small cup of olive oil gelato creme. That was light and thin such that it flowed over the inviting cake. The gelato provided an ice creme appeal without piling on more sugar or dairy. We definitely recommend the lava cake!! Overall, Amore met exceeded my birthday expectations. The food was creative and delicious! The team made us feel welcomed and served us professionally and well. The atmosphere helps make your two hour dining experience enjoyable.

The bento box is a good bet if you're visiting Umi for lunch and/or you're dining alone. I was…read moredoing both! The lunch bento box is straight up hits: a California roll, shrimp tempura, vegetable tempura, rice and your choice of teriyaki'd protein (chicken, salmon, beef, shrimp or basa, a type of catfish). I chose salmon, which was cooked perfectly. The salmon was placed on top of the rice, so the rice kind of soaked up the teriyaki sauce and made it nice and delicious. My bento lunch came with a cup of miso soup, and it was so nourishing and briny, like only miso soup can be. So yeah. I didn't taste any of the sushi here at Umi, unless you count a California roll, which I don't. But they have lots of different types of rolls, nigiri and hand rolls. Umi also has a large menu of sake. So large, that I thought I would be remiss to not get sake to go with my lunch. The menu made me do it! So I got the chiku bai Nigori sake, and it was so smooth. Sake is served in a small pitcher with a small ceramic cup. I wasn't sure if the sake pitcher was supposed to be shared, but there was only one cup, and there was only one me, so I went for it. A sake buzz during lunch ... how extravagant. I visited for a late lunch, around 1:30 p.m., and I was the only person in the whole place. I got the full attention of the very nice server, who had 20 pens in her apron ("For when it gets busy and it's only me," she said, because I asked her why she has 20 pens in her apron.) The restaurant is tastefully decorated on the inside.

I was told they have 1 team that all works Wed-Sun (closed Mon and Tues). The bartender was really nice and honest about advice on the menu. I had questions about the sashimi salad and appreciated his opinion on it. When I asked how the crab rangoons were, I could tell he genuinely thought they were a good item to order - and they did not disappoint! The picture only shows 4 rangoons because I already ate 3, so the fact it comes with 7 is a great deal. I also ordered the chirashi since I love sashimi, and I was told I was given a few extra pieces. 2 salmon, 2 tuna, 3 yellowtail, 2 scallop, 2 unagi, 2 octopus (or squid?), 2 imitation crab, some salmon roe, and 2 lobster tail chunks; seasoned sushi rice on the bottom. This was a very filling meal. It's a dimly lit restaurant with a calm ambiance. I saved this place to come back to when I'm in the area again for work.
