Bauer

Food was excellent and service wa good. Not overpriced

A bit pricey, but very good food and a great atmosphere

Good food and drinks although the service was a bit slow.

Everything excellent. Just a little too expensive for us. 16.50 for bacon and eggs.

They either need to try harder with their dishes or charge less. The barstools are comically short for the bar- I felt like a child eating. Waitstaff were friendly.

Can someone let me know the price range for this restaurant? It looks like such a good restaurant arant and me and my friend wanna go, just wanna know the price range? :)

Visited for brunch today and had a great experience.
Very friendly servers who were quick to answer all questions and help with whatever we needed.

Great food. We had the steak and eggs, salmon egg benedict, pizza, and Bauer burger - all were excellent.

Will be sure to drop by for dinner when we're in the area!

Great place to go for brunch on the weekend. The eggs benedicts are great.

Great atmosphere and good food. I especially like the fact that most of the menu is gluten free!

The location is beautiful once you find it. If you are not from around the area it is not as easy to find considering that the sign off the street is not as visible when driving.
The atmosphere is nice and welcoming. The booths were very comfortable.
Was charged $2.95 for their filtered water which they provided in a carafe. My party had arrived before me and perhaps they had made them aware of this but I was surprised to see the charge on my bill.
The food took a very long time to arrive (the order was three salads, a pizzetta and an appetizer) and the wait staff didn't come to make us aware of a delay in the kitchen. The restaurant was not full during our visit.
My salad arrived and some of the baby greens were wilted and the salad was overdressed.
My lunch bill came to $27 for a salad with grilled chicken, a tea (not specialty) and the filtered water.

Excellent wait staff with great vegan substitution ideas! Good was great.

Great staff and service. The flourless chocolate cake is a must.

Great food. Nice atmosphere. Food was very slow but service was good otherwise.

Excellent food and quick snappy service. Enjoyed a lovely rare AAA steak with blue cheese melted on top paired with the cannonball red. Would be 5 stars but the fries were far too salty and unfortunately the remake had the same problem. Definitely a great & high quality place to check out, maybe get a salad instead though.

First visit, very impressed with the quality of the food, the salmon and chicken dishes are outstanding. Highly recommended.
Like to highlight the quality of their service, making one of the best dinners we ever had.

Great place to get a higher quality meal. Only problem is that the meal is usually priced accordingly.

Fantastic food. Great service. Not inexpensive. Modest lunch for three without alcohol was $85 all in. Busy for brunch. Reservations recommended.

The restaurant's modern design is beautiful and trendy. Food presentation was nice, and our server was excellent. My son ordered Eggs Benedict, hubby ordered the Huevos Rancheros. They thought the food was good, but not a "wow" for the price. I ordered French Toast (2 small toasts), and felt the same, ok but not a "wow". $14.99 for 2 pieces of French Toast, I would have liked to have them served with 3tbsp of REAL maple syrup, rather than the 3 tbsp of fake syrup. For $70 + tip I much prefer to leave a restaurant with a "wow, that was awesome!".

Great ambiance, consistently good food - A it expensive.

Excellent food. Me and my husband celebrated our anniversary today. It was fantastic. The place is warm and welcoming. The food was delicious. I highly recommend this place.

A little pricey, but good! Limited menu but what they make they make very well! Great cafe too!

I had my wedding reception for 130 people at The Bauer Kitchen and it was quite possibly the best night ever. The service and food was outstanding. We had many comments from guests about how good the servers were and how good the food was. I have eaten at The Bauer Kitchen many times, but I wasn't sure how they might handle a large event. I didn't need to worry. The team at The Bauer Kitchen were excellent to work with during the whole planning process and we were able to put together an evening exactly how we wanted it. Thank you so much to Stephanie, Lindsay, Cindy, and the whole team!

Extremely displeased with the service by one of the hostesses who was rude and unpleasant, the food was alright and nothing spectacular.

Great restaurant with terrific service. Down side is it's a bit busy if you are looking for a romantic dinner. I'd go here for a fun night or a celebration instead.

Nice eating place. Our group went today for a Xmas lunch. We were around 13 people we all ordered different dishes from the menu so i got to see assortments. I enjoy the ambience and food. I myself ordered the bauer burger with sweet potato fries and goodness that was awesome. I did have a bit of disadvantage sonce i have to wait too long for my burger while others were almost done with their dish. But the wait was worthy. The servants did apologize thousands times for the inconvenience

While i was having my lunch and looked up to the ceiling and something grabbed my attention. It was the ceiling lamp. I needed to take a pic for my daughter as she is into interior design. Whoever had that idea of burnt florescent lamp to make these lamps for the restaurant koodoos for that. Great green job. Pic attached.

Had a great brunch meal. Service was very friendly and accommodating. Good value as well.

Really nice decor and vibe, great wine selection, food was good but was a bit of a wait for brunch. Would definitely recommend calling ahead for brunch reservations.

Just an extraordinary dining experience. Can't say enough good things about our meal and service. Phenomenal.

A great atmosphere to spend time with friends and family.

Went for brunch. I was expecting slightly more for the price of the food (in terms of taste). Not sure if I ordered the wrong thing. But overall, the atmosphere and service makes up for it.

We had fabulous food and the people were the best! We will go back for sure.

Everything that I have tried here has been delicious! Atmosphere is great. Expect to spend a little more money for your dinner out on the town.

Good atmosphere. Food overall was good. Burger was a little dry.

This place is great been there many times. This time however the server didn't seem concerned about my friends nut allergy and attempted to serve him food with nuts twice even after we told her when we sat down and again after each time she served something with nuts.

Staff was amazing, made my first date a memorable one. Unfortunately not memorable enough to remember who I was on the date with.

Had a small private function and it was spectacular. Fantastic setting, food was perfect, staff was great.

They have the best salad I ever had! Even extra added salmon was well cooked, crisp outside and tender inside. And servers are always friendly.

My friend and I each had the Eggs Benedict for brunch and it was delicious. Tristan (our server) was lovely; patient, professional and friendly.

Nice place for celebrations and formal gatherings. Small portions for the price though.

Not what I was expecting for meals from the photos in there instagram. My partner's meal wasn't good but they gave us another and sent out a free desert for the hassle. Very pleased with the servise from the matradee

Fried Chicken Banh Mi was fantastic. Tasty, crunchy fried chicken with hoisin, sambal, pickled vegetables -- awesome!

Went for my birthday tonight and the food was amazing. I literally couldn t stop talking about how good it was. Looking forward to returning in the future.

The calamari were rubbery and have no seasoning. Very bland. The rice bowl ordered with gluten free noodles seemed like they were half precooked and left dry. The prime rib was very tough and they don't have proper steak knives. Lastly there is no change table in the washroom! Sadly disappointed.

The food is top notch, and without question they curate one of the classier ambiances in the city. However, tonight it was the service from Nisha and her manager who stopped at nothing to ensure our dining experience was enjoyable and comfortable that exceeded all expectations. 5 stars for sure.

Chicken and waffles were good but ask for gravy on the side. Egg Benedict was delish!!! Good home fries, a little dry. Lovely service, my water was never below half. Decent coffee. Fun vibe.

Bauer should be embarrassed by the experience my wife just went through this evening. The app and pizza ordered were burnt, multiple times. They were told there was a party going on and their order came in just before my wife's. As well as it being someone new in the kitchen. The last part far worse. As my wife and 2 children were leaving my youngest threw up a small amount at close to the entrance. My wife called out for help. The waiter she was looking at looked over in disgust and didn't move a muscle to help. Then another waitress walked by looked at the situation in disgust and didnt offer any help. Between the 2 of them I guess there were no napkins, towels etc on hand. My wife left completely embarrassed by how she was treated. I would never recommend any families dine at Bauer. Appalling behavior by its staff.

The staff went out of their way to provide us with a table when we hadn't made a reservation. The food was excellent and the service was top notch.

Everytime I go, service Is always on point. I ordered steak and it was cooked to perfection. Love the atmosphere and decor.

the ideal sort of neighbourhood joint: a menu with something for everyone (even nervous family), great drinks, friendly service, tons of seating. this is our go-to place.

I really enjoy the place. Great food and wine selection.

Good food and dessert. Many kinds oif beer. Spacious and lots of variety.

What a wonderful restaurant! High end, incredibly competent wait staff, and food that's well worth the price. I highly recommend this place for any special occasion or just for an enjoyable dining experience.

Catching the champions league final, doing some work at the same time :)

Absolutely amazing. The food is on the money, creative but not foreign. It's truly a place you can't go wrong, but it will cost you. A fair amount, no different than the cost of Montana's or East Side but definitely.. definitely with a quality increase. And the staff are stellar. Their food is perfect but their staff are a touch above.

Great everytime, and less expensive than East Side Marios.

Been for dinner atleast 10 times, used to get takeout pizza (bring back the White pizza!).
Love going for anniversaries especially, as it is easy to have a conversation and you are basically garunteed good service (and a free dessert!).

Brunch was excellent as well. Huevos Rancheros was fun, and tastey, but I have never had it before.

Desserts, drinks (huge sangrias), coffees, fresh baked goods: it is all top notch. Proud that it exists here in Waterloo.

Over cooked dry food is what I got in this place. My other 2 friends agree that even the french fries was overcooked. I ordered a coke. They put too luch ice to the point it felt like a flavoured water not a coke. I do not think I will ever go there again.

Great little find in a condo nook. The food was amazing and the staff was very friendly.

Great food at a unique urban environment in the emerging Allen area in Waterloo!

Selection is good...but the selection of choices needs to be updated

The whole staff really went out of their way to make us happy and make sure we had a wonderful time. Reade, the service manager was so lovely to us, as was our server (who's name, unfortunately, escapes me). The food was fantastic as was the atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!

Nice place for a family lunch, very consistent, fast and friendly service.

Very good pizza as a vegan option. Parents loved their omni option. Took one star off because it was a little pricey.

We love the Bauer Kitchen!
The service is always good, the ambiance is nice.
The confit duck wings were are a winner - just a tad bit too sweet, but still really delicious. The Bauer burger was okay by the way - a bit too much bun. The fried chicken banh mi was pretty good though - better than the Bauer Burger. Would recommend and we definitely will come back!

Order the Spadina Duck pizza or the Wandering Goat pizza! You will not be disappointed! We celebrated my wife's birthday here and we had a great time. They gave us a delicious desert as well which was on the house. Our waiter provided great service. Thank you Bauer Kitchen, we will definitely be visiting again!

A solid choice for a special evening out... Lovely, creative space and an eclectic menu. Food and beverage choices are all enjoyable.

Good but should be better than good for the prices. Service is great atmosphere is great.

First family day trip from Toronto to visit Waterloo. We stopped for lunch and absolutely loved the food & atmosphere. The best part was how our waitress TY made the entire experience unforgettable, especially for my daughter. We will definitely be back!!!

This a great place to come for special occasions or even a get together with the girls! When we arrived, the girls welcomed us and we got to our table promptly. Our waitress Kassidy was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to any concerns we had. The food was delicious and even warranted ordering dessert. Will definitely be returning again!

Great atmosphere and great food. Friendly staff and very accommodating.

Very luxurious and modern! Plus my niece runs the place.

Always great food and drinks! It s my friends and I go to when we want reliable food and service. Cool atmosphere and decor. Great patio as well. And did I mention the great drinks/cocktails!! A Waterloo staple and must go to place.
