Really wanted to love BAKN. Interesting menu and decor attracted us to give it a try. What can I say? It just wasn't a good experience. Meeting friends and decided to start at the bar. The bartender seemed lost as fumbled his way through our drinks, asking me how to make a "Rusty Nai"l and guessed wrong on a friend's "Cosmo". Adding to commotion, bartender functions as coffee Batista for waiters, another distraction for the inept bartender. By the time our table was ready, we had the "pleasure" of observing a manager (owner?) terrorize and humiliate a waitress for what appeared to be a minor mistake (dinner and a show?).
Because of its convenient location and attempt to be something special, our friends agreed to give BAKN another try. Sadly, our 2nd visit was similar to the 1st, it seemed like "Groundhog Day". Apparently, management prefers criticizing employees to actual training. Despite the interesting concept, poor management is likely to spell doom for BAKN.
