4 /5 Marc Cooper: Im giving De Baca 4 stars and my wife says three. Heres why: For the price, the service should be spectacular. Our server was very nice, but not that attentive. There where a couple of times where I needed something and he walked right in front of us, gave no eye contact, didnt check if we needed something, and walked right on past. I actually had to flag people down a few different times. Also, they gave us dirty silverware. Like so dirty, food was crusted all over two of our soup spoons. My filet was indeed cooked perfectly, but we did not care for chicken cordon bleu. I cook chicken cordon bleus at the crib all the time and this one was not very appetizing. The sauce just didnt smell appealing and with bone-in you really just dont get much food for the price they charge. I recommend a large chicken breast that is stuffed with ham and swiss with a nice crunchy breading on the outside. Next, the butternut squash soup was great, but not as great as a lobster bisque with chucks of loster tail in it. Also, charging 70 bucks for a beef wellington is too much. Overall, service and cleanliness are key for that kind of price at a high end steakhouse.
