First time eating at this establishment. Was extremely pleased with the mixologist behind the bar; our server was extremely knowledgeable and made great wine pairing suggestions for our meals. We were seated in the "speakeasy" section, which is a little darker than the main dining area, adding to a more intimate dining experience. The scallops my wife ordered were described by her as "top three" scallops she has ever had. I had the salmon which was tender and perfectly cooked, served with a saffron sauce that complemented the meal perfectly. Oh- and if you are a bread pudding fan, don't miss it- We shared one and wished we had ordered one each it was do delicious.

The SpeakEasy Ambiance, menu, and service was outstanding. We enjoyed lunch, sharing the Korean Chicken skewer which were cooked perfectly and moist, to the French Dip that had gravy instead of Au Jus was delightful. We had their English Bread pudding, which made to a lunch to remember.

There are not too many places anymore where you can have an intimate dining experience with delicious food, great service, and relative quiet. No, you can't hear a pin drop but at least I could hear my dining companion from across the table! This would be a fantastic date night for anyone who wants to impress their partner. Highly recommend!

Beautiful place. Classy in fact. Only seats 30 so generally reservations are needed. Noise level was low due to us being the only table being used at the time. Four people were at the bar. It was a rainy day so we were lucky. Extensive menu. Brunch only in Sunday though. Nice people work there.

Loved the speakeasy room for our special occasion. Shawn was very attentive and fun, as was Michelle. We had the shrimp and encrusted Brie appetizers, entrees of filet, scallops and seafood gumbo. Everything was delicious!!! Ken and Kevin are an absolute delight!! This is a must.

Fabulous, as always. Had a wonderful lunch - a French Dip sandwich which was chuck steak on the softest bread! Absolutely delicious. Hubby had a steak and gorgonzola salad. All good, too. Such a wonderful place for lunch!!! Have been there a 4 times in the last month - Sun brunch, 2 X dinner, and now lunch. A read pearl for Benicia!

Baxters always caters to my requests, I always order cocktails and they always have a spot open and great mixologists with their own whisky recipes. Also a calmer ambiance than Rellik Tavern with more personalized service.
