Baby Wale - Washington

Super hip fun place. A reception was hosted here. They have great drinks (including juice box cocktails) and a fun vibe. I'd return.

I came here after attending an industry Expo symposium at the convention center located across the street. The bar was very crowded appeared to be extremely understaffed. They were out of a lot of the normal alcohol they usually have behind the bar, but I am amenable to trying new things. The staff that were there happened to be very kind apologetic for not having everything available. I tried a few of the appetizers they were good. Hopefully, this was just a one-off experience I am just giving them the benefit of the doubt! I will be back once I go to the the convention center again.

We had an early dinner on Saturday night (6pm) and it was fairly empty, but the food was great! The meatballs were tasty, the tonkatsu was tender and the ribs were fall off the bone good.Dine in: Yes

I went for a dinner as this place had good reviews and was close to my hotel. I came shortly after opening at 5 pm and was the only guest for the first 30 45 min. I enjoyed Happy hour offering Filipino style spring rolls and discounted drinks namely beer both Pils they had available I just wish they would have some on tap, not only bottles well both were good. I fecifed to stay for a dinner too got salad, flatiron steak, fries. Food was very good well fries were a bit salty for my taste, but I admit I am a “low salt” person. Got bread pudding for a dessert and enjoyed it. I would recommend this place.

I visited the space over the weekend and while I generally enjoyed the environment and such, the food and service were lacking. I should preface this comment that the restaurant was understaffed (but that wasn't communicated to us until way into our long-delayed meal).Beyond the slowness of the kitchen, which was again explained after the server neglected to get my order on the ticket, the quality of dishes were equally lacking. The drinks too were also underwhelming, and the salmon was a fatty piece of gristle that looked the part but certainly didn't eat like it.After a more than 20 minute delay between two entrees, we were not offered a comped meal or discount, gestures that would've signaled that they realized their gaffe. Instead, we were hit with a full billI want to like Baby Wale. I truly do. It's beautiful inside but my experience soured me greatly and on top of it all, I'm suffering from food poisoning.I do hope they work out the kitchen flow. It was probably just a bad night. Too bad I had to pay full price for it.
