    Second time this month. First time on Valentine’s Day, it was perfect. Last night was for a birthday dinner and there were some stops and starts. Especially when it came to simple things like a glass of wine or bread, those are the easiest things. Took way too long.

    Friendly owners and great staff! Delicious food and drinks- We sat in the cozy speakeasy area to enjoy our lunch. The cheese board was generous with a marvelous selection of charcuterie,cheese,nuts and dried fruit. I had the beef Wellington-perfect! My friends had the scallops and Caesar salad! The scallops were succulent and tender. Finished lunch with the bread pudding! Wonder dining experience! We will be back! Thank you to Baxter and his owners!

    Baxters was wonderful. My husband and I had the Filet Mignon Bites and the Beef Wellington and both were amazing. We sat in the speakeasy and the mood was relaxing. The main dining room with main bar was also lovely and not over whelming. Will definitely be going back as I am already craving the food.

    Baxters was excellent. There were 3 of us in our party. We had the starter Filet Mignon Tenderloin Bites, Cesar, and Mix Green salad. All were delicious. Then we ordered the Beef Wellington, Scallops, and Salmon. Everything was excellent. Staff and owners were friendly and very welcoming. We would definitely go again.

    What a fantastic jewel. I am reluctant to tell anyone about this place. Now I may not get a seat. So amazing. Make sure you ask to be in the "speak easy" part of the place. Soooo cool.
