We came on a Thurs at 6 and it wasn't too busy at all but definitely filled up by the time we left around 7:30. We got a few drinks and beers. For hearing about their drink menu, I was surprised that it was pretty limited list and they also didn't have any beer on draft, only cans. The cocktails were good but not outstanding. For food, we started with the chengdu chicken wings which were huge and delicious. Perfectly crispy and they had a nice sweet/spicy sauce with it. We also ordered eggplant with spicy garlic sauce, Chongqing dry hot chicken, house fried rice, shrimp/scallop, braised fish with napa cabbage and Wok Crispy Salt & Pepper Shrimp & Scallop. Standouts were the shrimp/scallop that were nicely breaded but you could still taste the fish and was well seasoned. Braised fish with napa cabbage was very flavorful and the braised fish was sooo tender. Also can never go wrong with the eggplant that was cooked down well but still had texture and a yummy sauce.

Have visited several times over the past 4 years when coming back to visit family in the area. A…read morenumber of other reviewers have commented that "things have changed", and I, unfortunately, agree. Visited on a Saturday evening - the place should be packed, but it wasn't. I easily secured a same day bar seat reservation for 8PM. After checking in, was seated at a half empty downstairs bar. No physical menus, everything was done via a QR which is fine I guess, but for a spot that positions itself as a premiere bar a bit tacky. The online menu on the public website is the only menu and where the QR takes you. I asked for a spirits list (logical for a cocktail forward bar), I got a quizzical look and a shrug of the shoulders in return. Given the menu was only 8 cocktails, picking from those I started with the Beachcomber Mai Tai for a whopping $18. This, if it's the true spec, should be a rum forward cocktail with 2 1/2 oz of rum. They batch their cocktails (not a problem) so I couldn't see their build, but there is absolutely no way this drink is made to specification - my guess is they are skimping on rum as a cost play, batching lets them get away with it. Drink was, frankly, pretty forgettable - not bad, just unremarkable. Wanting to see how they could do off-menu, I asked the bartender to make me a Hemingway Daiquiri. Now, for a cocktail bar that has a long history of rum centric and tiki leaning cocktails, this should be an off the top of their head cocktail. It's simple - white rum, lime and grapefruit juice, and maraschino liqueur. Bartender had never heard of it before, and then spent a few minutes staring in to his phone presumably looking up the recipe. He built it using Rhum JM white rum which is absolutely the wrong rum for this drink - it needs a white Cuban rum (which we know we can't get in the U.S.), so the usual sub would be Bacardi, Planteray 3 stars, Probitas, or others. Definitely not a Martinique agricole. This may be a too detailed nit for some, but with the framing that this is supposed to be a premium cocktail bar, this is an error that should not happen, and not for $18. Figuring the third time might be a charm, ordered the Trader Vic 1944 Mai Tai. This is the classic, the standard against which all others are measured. It's a distinct recipe, especially if you call yours the 1944 Mai Tai. This was not that. It was again light on rum with probably the wrong rums used in their blend. It was also substantially over dosed with orgeat making the almond sweetness an almost overpowering flavor versus playing a subtle supporting actor role. Again, swing and a miss. Drinkable if you like sweet, and don't mind hefty almond. But if you want to try the real Mai Tai - this is not it. Overall, for the price, fairly indifferent bar service, lack of information available to the customer (e.g., spirits list, etc.), and fairly off the mark cocktails I think you can find far better spots right now for that same money. If you definitely want that tiki inspired cocktail vibe - your better bet will be places like Wusong Road in Cambridge or Shore Leave in Boston, and I'm sure there are others. Sorry Baldwin Bar, you've lost your edge and it shows.

A cute bar across where you enter in and open seating in the rest of the space. Greeted by the waitress who also cheffed up my delectable, cheeky pints right from the draft spigots. Such a nice host who made me feel welcomed and recommended some great choices. I went with the special of the day, the pickle brined chicken sandwich with a side of chips and their charred scallion dip. The chicken was crispy & crunchy on the outside with succulent, juicy chicken thigh on the inside. That pickle brine worked wonders. The chips are homemade and exactly what you want from a crisp and that charred scallion dip was so addicting I was scooping the rest with a fork when I ran out of chips (would have licked it out if no fork). Vibes great, beers cold, food absolutely divine. I will surely be back to try more menu items (the pierogies looked money from another patron's plate) and to delete more beers.

Our sushi boat came with the seared hamachi make + caviar roll which was really good. I would definitly order that again.

The hostess asked us if our whole party was there and we indicated they were parking their car. We were then told we could sit now or wait until they arrived but if we sat down at our table "the clock would start" (she actually said that) Yes, we read about the 90 min. table time when we made the reservation but giving us a "warning" ? Like the countdown had begun! Not a great way to start. The entire experience from that point on felt rushed. 3 of us were not drinking alcohol so therefore we were never asked if we wanted another drink of choice after the first one. The person drinking alcohol was certainly made sure he had full glasses. Food was good but we had to ask the waitress and staff to take the empty plates and glasses more than once in order to accommodate the additional courses. (which were coming out one after the other, because, you know, we had to hurry) I will add during the entire meal I noticed at least half the bar was empty and several tables around us remained empty or customers left with no new customers coming in. We finished with 3 minutes to spare!!! Wow, lucky us. This did not feel like a place that wanted to showcase their food and service and be accommodating but more like, just eat, pay, leave. Too many good restaurants around so we will try someplace that actually makes a customer feel welcome.

Service: Good, fast, pleasant Food: The Asian beef tacos which were fine, came with 3 tacos, heavy on the filling, flavors were so-so. The chocolate cake was a layered cake, the ganache was good, could have used more strawberry slices to cut through the richness. Drinks: The Raspberry lime rickey mocktail was perfectly sweet and sour, tasted like candy. Value: Tacos were $18, for the quality I would say that these were overpriced. The cake was a good portion for desert and was $9. Other: The bathroom was dark, could improve in the lighting. Obviously more a customer issue and could have gone between cleanings but there was shredded paper towels scattered on the ground. Overall this wasn't a bad meal by any means, just overpriced for basic food.

I really enjoyed the Twice Cooked Pork and the Chong Qing Dry Hot Chicken; the quality and flavor made this genuinely one of the best Sichuan restaurants in the entire Boston area. But I would skip the Sichuan Pork Dumplings with Chili Vinaigrette. The drinks were also good; I particularly liked the cocktail called Into the Melon Patch. However, the experience was held back by two key factors: the cost and the service. The dinner was expensive for this type of cuisine. Furthermore, the service was subpar. For example, we asked for white rice, and it took two staff members and about 10 minutes for us to get the additional rice. The high quality of the dishes and drinks made the meal worthwhile, but be prepared for a higher cost and service that does not match the kitchen's standards.
