Baxters Restaurant & Bar - Benicia (CA)

5 /5 Ci Dawg: Wow great get away in Benicia. Did was in point the atmosphere was good and chill. Old school music fabulous cocktails. The beef tacos to start out meal was perfect. I enjoyed the scallops delicious! My daughter has the salmon and Granddaughter loved the truffle pasta with prawns! Fresh and delicious indeed! Very very nice.

5 /5 Charleen: Had a wonderful night celebrating in the private speakeasy. The food was excellent (bread pudding was delicious), service on point, and a friendly warm atmosphere. The place welcomed regulars and special celebrations. Bonus was the amazing wine selection and whiskeys. Who knew Benecia had such elevated taste! Cheers

5 /5 Robert Valdez: My wife and walked into Baxters and were seated promptly. Small cozy dining area, which was surprisingly quiet for its size. The staff were completely amazing, as they worked the whole dining area. We both had the steak and eggs for breakfast. Both steaks were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right, eggs were fluffy and delicious, the potatoes had just the right amount of crunch to them. We were up vacationing in the area, and love spending time in Benicia. Wife lived here many years ago. So we try to visit often. Baxters is definitely on our list of must do’s. Thank you guys for a very enjoyable breakfast!

We also love to have a cocktail ( all handcrafted) and smash burger the best best ever. All the food is delicious. They are always so fun friendly and make us feel so special Baxters is a Gem… Baxters is a Must….

5 /5 Kiki Squid: What a fun and inviting restaurant! Baxter’s folks are exceptionally welcoming and our overall dining experience was thoroughly enjoyed and highly memorable. Why? They set a wonderful stage when you first walk into their eatery. The guys behind the bar smile and greet you while vocal jazz plays in the background. We felt like we were old friends returning to their home for a warmhearted visit. Everyone was personable, took care of business with ease, making it look easy (and believe me; it is often not easy). Their smiles and willingness to engage set you in a relaxed and pleasant mood. Our server was a refreshing change from what has sadly been found out in other businesses these days. He was friendly, honest in his answers and, connected with us in a natural way. We enjoyed his company and service. It was a relatively quiet night but neighboring guests were smiling and friendly to us as well. Here’s what we had: French 75 & Empress French 75 - a classic drink AND the sexy glasses heightened our sipping experience. Filet Mignon Street Tacos - The first bite created a swell of emotion for me as the flavors swirled around my mouth. Delicious. My husband said they were the best he had ever had and he thought the portion was generous. Mediterranean Salad - The server politely had the kitchen split it in half for us to share. Honey vinaigrette had a touch of sweetness with a light base that never overpowered the vegetables and lettuce in the salad. Fresh and surprisingly good, as salads go. We shared the Seared Sea Scallops and the Alaskan Wild Salmon were both served with lemon-saffron sauce with buttermilk mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. Portions were generous. I liked the grilled vegetables of the day. And dredging the perfectly pan seared sea scallops and salmon through the lemon-saffron sauce were an added bonus. Bread pudding must be good because it was sold out before we could order it. The next day, my husband said out of the blue that he wanted to return and have another meal there. Food can be good at a place but it is the people that make you want to return again and again. Tell Baxter we said, “Woof. Woof!” ~ paws up so we can high five you!
