Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Whitby

Absolutely love this Italian restaurant! I travel 45 min from Toronto to Whitby for it and it’s worth it every time!

If you’re looking for a place to enjoy amazing food solo or with family and friends, come to Baxters! It’s my third time coming and I cannot say enough good about this establishment. The servers are attentive and friendly, the food was incredible ( you have to try the Korean cauliflower and Tahini roasted Brussels!!), and the atmosphere is warm and cozy but also fancy and upscale. I’ve dined here with both family and friends and they have menu options inclusive for all dietary needs (some of us vegan/vegetarian). This makes a big difference as we dine where we can all enjoy a meal! Highly highly recommend! 10/10!

my wife and I walked in and was welcome at the entrance. Having given my name and reservation time, I walked back to have a seat, and even before reaching it we were approached by the lady who walked us to our table. The light was dim, it was calm with nice Christmas song playing in the background. Within seconds we have our waitress coming to our table with a welcoming smile introducing her to us. She brought us a glass of water each while we looked at the menu. I order my usual meal when I first walk in a restaurant, a medium rare New York sirloin with accompaniments sautéed fresh vegetables. I ordered Escargi as starter. My wife was so pleased by the area we were sitting, and while waiting for our food we ordered a glass of wine and a Sangria. The wine was good and the Sangria delicious. The waitress brought us some warm bread and cream after asking us. Soon the Escargot can and to my surprise it was a bigger portion than I expected and that was so delicious. Time to have lunch, our food were served and my wife was also shocked by the portion of her Nachos with decorative sides such as salsa, guacamole and a whipped cream. She could not finish it all while I was enjoying my steak. The sautéed vegetables was also safe a bigger portion compared to what other restaurants I’ve been to always served. The steak was as I requested it and the quality was phenomenal. Medium rare, fresh, juicy steak! That brought is big smile in my face. I would recommend this place to anyone who lives in the East, and why not from other area as I came from Barrie!! Yes from Barrie to Ajax to have the most amazing service and higher quality meals for just $103.00 including a token of HST only.

We had reservations in the bar and our server/bartender was phenomenal. The food was delicious as always and we loved the atmosphere.

Great service, happy, knowledgeable about the menu and drinks.
