Baxter’s Restaurant & Bar

Benicia has a GREAT restaurant now! Consistently great food & creative cocktails with friendly staff and happy guests. They have raised the bar for quality in Benicia. Make sure to reserve because this place has become very hip.

Amazing with the husband date night. Plan ahead and make reservations. They fill up fast. Food is out of this world.

Love this new restaurant in Benicia. It's very small and intimate. We were a party of four, and each of us thought their own meal was terrific. Very friendly staff with great music playing in the background.

Great food, drinks, and staff

Baxters Restaurant and Bar is a DESTINATION. This intimate and lovely establishment never fails to disappoint. I've gone several times and each time the experience was exceptional. Charming and with a wonderful selection of cocktails, appetizers and mains, my latest visit was for my birthday celebration. I've always gone out of the way to make sure I celebrate my birthday (it's really close to Christmas, plus I have a family member with a date really close to mine) so making it a special event is always my focus. Man o Man did they come through. We had the celebration in their Speakeasy Room, which is reminiscent to the Roaring 20's with a separate bar, comfortable seating for up to 10/12 people and just a specifically joyous occasions. My guests were ALL thrilled with the experience. Benecia is a beautiful town and has a welcoming, small towny feel to it. I recommend everything from the beet salad, flatbreads, beef wellington, sirloin, pork tenderloin, anything vegetable and whatever your tastes desire. I've had several items and tasted the guests samples, so I can say I've had almost everything here at least by tastes. Make this a destination, whether for a date night to a small party (or buying out the restaurant for the night......it's THAT COOL! Parking: It was busy when we went and it was really wonderful to find parking relatively quickly. Kid-friendliness: I saw families at the restaurant; plus they have a kids menu.

Small dining room so make a reservation. Service is attentive. Food is very good. Beef Wellington was slightly too rare for me, but perfect for my dinner companion. Great selection of craft cocktails.

Fantastic food and fabulous owners. A must place to go to when in Benicia.

I booked Baxters for my wife's birthday. We had a large party, with 8 adults and one child. We were in our own room (speakeasy) and it was thoughtfully decorated with birthday wishes. The staff was friendly, helpful, and we never felt like we were not being cared for. The cocktails, appetizers, main courses, and desserts were all excellent. I look forward to going back and highly recommend Baxters.

Everything from the moment we walked in was outstanding. From the greeting to the , artful crafted cocktails to the seamless service and then there is the food. “Chefs kiss”. Had the scallops had to stop myself from licking the plate. A great way to have a relaxing, delicious evening with my lovies.
