Food was exceptional and flavourful. Delicious lobster soup, salmon salad, Cesar salad, prime rib sliders, Pot De Creme and carrot cake for dessert. Our waiter was friendly and prompt. Enjoyed ?

Excellent original dishes. I ordered an appetizer and steak. Took one star off of food rating because it came well when I asked for medium rare. But they were quick to correct it and it was very good. I was dining by myself, and I asked to be by the window. The place was clean and organized. The bathroom was also clean. My beer had a good head and was a good temperature. Overall, I enjoyed my solo dinner.

It's a nice place to eat in town. Pretty much has something everyone in the family likes. And it's good! The staff is always friendly and it's always nice to go out and know I am going to have a good meal in a fun town.

This was our 1st time here. We were very happy with everything. The food was great. The people were so nice. We enjoyed sitting by the window and watching everything. Terrific experience. We will be going back.

I was really excited when I asked my husband to bring me food from this restaurant. I asked him for a “Harvest Pear and Brie Cheese Bruschetta” and “Cajun Chicken Rice Bowl”. I was really disappointed when he brought the food home. Bruschetta slices were not even a half inch thick. Taste was good but not worth the money. Chicken rice bowl was the biggest disappointment. Chicken was shredded, wet and plain. I couldn’t taste any seasoning. Barely any sauce on the dish. For those two dishes and steak that my husband ate at the restaurant, he paid over $130. My husband said his home cooked stake is better than the one he ate in this restaurant (and he is not a fancy steak eater). Not worth the money.

I read the reviews before trying Baxters and was a little anxious about some poor service reviews. We go out to eat for many reasons but one is for service. I was pleasantly surprised when we were greeted and walked to a table. The server was attentive and polite. We had a cheddar burger and jalapeño burger. Both were excellent and each came with a large amount of fries. Th interior was simple and clean. I liked the small hand towels used as napkins. I put them to a lot of use when the burger juice dripped down my fingers. They also had a nice selection of beers on tap. Bottom line is: we will be back. It's nice to have another option when we visit.

My sister and I both enjoyed our meals here! Service was fast and a comfortable place to be on a cool rainy early Fall afternoon.

Definitely a great family friendly restaurant in downtown Sandpoint. Traci was our server and seemed as though she may have also been the owner or related to the owners. Very friendly with great suggestions. The patrons all seem to know her and shared hugs when leaving. My colleague and I stopped for lunch before visiting our customer. He ordered the Ahi Tuna Bowl which was loaded with Ahi Tuna and rice. I ordered the Portabello Burger sandwich with fries. What I learned is that you can't eat a portabello burger like a regular burger. You would need razor sharp teeth for each bite. It was easier to disassemble the sandwich and eat the portobello separately. It tasted great with the melted blue cheese. I also ordered the seafood chowder which should be their signature dish. It was loaded with seafood such as crab and I believe real lobster. It was outstanding.

My friends and I went here for prom night dinner last year and it was amazing. The atmosphere was comfortable and the staff were understanding and helpful, and super friendly to us. The food was great, and I can't wait to go back.Parking: There's not a ton of parking downtown. We circled the block a few times to find an open spot, and got lucky that it was right in front of the restaurant.

I ordered a tuna poké bowl that was terrible. There was lots of fish, but only a tiny portion of rice, and aioli sauce. When I requested ginger and wasabi I was told they didn't have any. The meal was way too expensive, and I left hungry and totally disappointed. I told the waiter to load up on the rice (cheapest thing ever) and to have someone shop a half mile away and get fresh ginger and wasabi from the store if they are gonna try and produce a poké bowl at a premium price. Never again will I eat there.

The food was great, we had the special starter and main, and the bottle of wine was good too. The prices weren't too high. I think the server was a little bit too much though, but it didn't detract from the food, and I know some people like to be like that, so its not a big

Our 3rd visit to Baxter’s and love this place. This time the staff went particularly beyond. We called ahead to see what the wait was for us and our toddler and although they were busy held a table for us for a few mins and even had a high chair already at the table when we arrived. Staff, food, and drinks have always been great and we certainly will be back! Special note that the lobster roll is amazing (even by east coast standards) ?
