| - I am literally in love with Baxter's! This was my 2nd time visiting the restaurant, the first time was during restaurant week in February. I had the catch of the day which was cod, if I remember correctly it was poached. The dish came with a salad (i got the caesar) and a dessert. The dish was delicious and the portion sizes were very adequate. I tried to eat it all but was to full, I brought it home but it never made the fridge as my husband ate it, he also stating it was delicious. The caesar salad was delicious and plentiful. I am particular about caesar as this is the only type of salad that I will eat. The flavor balanced out very well, not too vinegary. Unfortunately, I did not taste the dessert as I don't have much of a sweet tooth. During the visit, what stood out the most was the awesome service. My friend and I sat at the Bar. It was a Thursday night and we just missed the live music that they have every Thursday evening. The bartender (whom I later found out name was Brandon) came right over to greet us. The entire night he was very attentive, taking his time to make recommendations to the menu, and making sure that we were always checked on. I can honestly say this is the best service that I have had from a Bartender in a very long time. As we visited during restaurant week the prices were pri-fix, however, glancing at the menu their regular prices weren't bad either. I knew that I needed to visit again to see if Baxter's held up service/food quality outside of an event/special.
I brought my husband this time to visit Baxter's to get his take on the restaurant. He was kind of skeptical since I had been raving on it every since I went in Feb. This time we visited on a Saturday and again choose to sit at the bar. Brandon was again working which I was happy to see. Again, this visit didn't disappoint and even exceeded the service/food that I initially experienced. We started off with drinks, I got the cherry old fashioned and hubby got a manhattan. We both ordered off the signature drink menu and boy were we not disappointed. The drinks were not watered down and had a good alcohol to non-alcohol content, a great bang for your buck! While my husband was trying to decide which bourbon to have his made with, Brandon was patient, offered suggestions, and even let him sample a couple of bourbons! It was such good customer service. I ordered two rounds of drinks and as the night went on Brandon and my husband got into a discussion about bourbons/scotch (man talk) and Brandon even introduced us to a honey bourbon that was so smooth i even liked it! The manager on duty even came over and joined their discussion for a little bit, again i was super impressed by the by the way they interacted with customers.
The food again was very good, we ordered two appetizers, the steak nachos and calamari. We were very impressed with the steak nachos, plenty of steak, huge portion size it could have feed 3 people! The calamari was OK there was just to many banana peppers for my liking, but the small pieces of calamari when i did find them were tasty. We probably wouldn't order again though. Because we were almost full from the apps, we only ordered one entree, the crab and shrimp alfredo. When I first received the dish, I didn't see the crab. Little did i know it was shredded within the dish and plentiful. It was fresh, not fishy at all and the shrimp were big and juicy, again not fishy. The hubby and I weren't to crazy about the cherry cream sauce but I think it is just a personal preference. The alfredo was not bad at all, just different but we probably would try something else next time.
I am super impressed by Baxter's (hubby as well) service (primarily) and food wise. I can not wait to go back! See you soon Baxter's!
