great little cafe. We visit there often. The owner, David is very personable, and friendly. The food is great, and if you are not shy, you may make new friends by sharing a table....they always ask first. a really good choice. Small and intimate.

We really like Bailey's for a nice lunch, and great food. It gets very busy at lunch, and is always decorated to the season. Nice family owned cafe, parking available in the front and back of the restaurant.
