    The menu at Revery is upscale and the food was tasty. The decor, however, is rather minimalist in contrast to the menu. Our party of 5 tried the salmon (3+ stars), the burger (3+ stars), various salads (5 stars), and the French fries (5 stars). Revert is worth another visit.

    This was our second time at Baxter’s. Jacque was our server, and he was really the best ! He interacted with us and made sure we were taken care of. He was so personable and made sure our visit was outstanding. The food was excellent. We had the Thai shrimp for appetizer. Excellent choice ! A little spicy and fantastic. We had the prime rib which was cooked perfectly to medium rare and served with au jus and horseradish. We had million dollar margaritas. Wow ! Those were a treat. For dessert we had the bread pudding. More ice cream would have been nice but overall a great finish to the meal. I would definitely enjoy going back for this kind of experience. The server really made it great.
