Lovely interior, got the steak kabob on rice and loved it! The Baxter's salad was good as well, not what I would typically expect but it was good.

Ribeye steak was well prepared, had great flavor as well did the baked potato. We really enjoy the setting, music was s moderate not to loud.

I made reservations at 430pm on a Sunday afternoon. The 2 hostesses greeted us and told us we'd be seated in 5 minutes. The place was empty except maybe 3 other tables...and we were seated next to a table of 8 people celebrating a birthday. WTF...? We asked to move over 1 table so both groups would have space. Seemed like only 1 waitress was working...other staff standing around. The waitress was great, felt sorry for her too. Food was ok, I had Cajun pasta, but there's nothing cajun about it. Fake andouille sausage (it was thinly sliced Eckrich sausage), non-blackened shrimp, and noodles. It was good, nothing special for $30. Wife had scallops and steak. Steak was prepped properly and was good, scallops too...just not sure it was a $60 plate. Overall, just average. Nice view of the lake, but there's better options available.

Dinner for anniversary. Very nice feel to the restaurant, noise level was low, easy to carry on an intimate conversation. Entree selections extensive and something for everyone. Waitress was very good. Food amazing.

Service was great. However our food took a very long time, the dining room was very noisy due to patrons but also very loud music. Steak was mediocre, all other food was good. Several hosts at host station and all seemed overwhelmed. It just did not seem like they had an effective process to manage everything. 2 people, dinner, appetizer, 1 dessert to share and 1 drink each from bar with tip $155. Did not feel like value was there for what was received. biggest disappointment was we were at the table a total of 1 hour 50 minutes because of how long food took. It was a busy night, which is why I did not give it less than a 3 star, but it is not a place I would return to for a nice dinner.

We had not been to Baxters for a while and decided to give it a try, and we left feeling very good about the choice. Emma was our server and she did a great job of making sure that we did not want for anything. The food was served promptly and was very good. I had a steak and the wife had the Halibut and both were cooked perfectly and were very tasty. The price was reasonable and the atmosphere was quiet and friendly. Overall a good experience.
We were a party of 4 and we wanted a more quiet space, they gladly re-sat us to a quieter section. It was so nice of them to accommodate us. Baxter's has never been about loud music but on this occasion there were quite a few larger groups so opted to be a bit further away. The food was absolutely delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The waiter was kind and attentive.

At $170 this was the most expensive meal my wife and I have had, celebrations out usually dont crest $130 at some of the top steak houses in our area. Branching out to try a new town, we both got parm crusted NY Strips (no oz. listed) @ $45/ea. the parm crust absolutely carried the under-seasoned steak. Cooked well, unfortunately my wifes cut was an end cut that had a large silverskin ran diagonally in it. making it difficult to cut and a chore to eat. The mac n cheese, an upcharged side, was a hot dry gummy noodle dish. not good. the caesar side salad, another upcharge, came out filled with butt ends of romaine hearts. (our waitress quickly apologized and had a new one made, without us having to really say much, just showing her) the calamari was rubbery, some over cooked, some undercooked, idk how that happens. the "pepper" assortment that fills the space on the calamari platter to make it seem like you got more food, had raw pieces of ginger mixed in and fried which ruined any flavor you were previously enjoying. (they did remove this from our bill without us asking) Our waitress was great and tried to fix everything she could. We ordered an entree (marinated steak and veg kabobs w chimichurri and rice) as an appetizer. That steak was awesome, i wish i had just gotten that for a meal. However their "chimichurri" was just oil... just oil with a minute amount of herbs, no flavor no heat, just oil. that was disappointing but otherwise that dish was great. we both had water, the stainless pitchers that sat around with ice water, allowed the ice to melt which tainted the water taste. Disappointed that this was the experience we had for a birthday outing. We have eaten out at steak houses in STL, Chicago, Niagara falls, New Orleans, Vegas, on the beach in FL, L.A. etc. and this was still the most expensive meal I've ever had.
My husband and I had the shrimp cocktail appetizer very good as always! I was a little disappointed that we did not receive some bread as always before our meal. Perhaps the gentlemen whom served us was new? My husband had the Spaghetti and Meatballs and I had the Angel hair and Pesto with small side of marinara! It was absolutely delicious! We Always try something new when we come that was wonderful. It took quite a while for our bill to arrive and you were quite busy. We do understand how hard it to find wonderful help! He was a good Waiter! Thank you again for a Pleasurable Experience we will be back!
Nice modern fine dining. We had very attentive service throughout the courses and the food was sent out at just the right pace so as not to feel rushed. Food was excellent and cooked exactly to our liking. Their wine list featured a nice mix of both domestic and European wines offering a nice array of tastes without being overwhelmed with options. This establishment is the ideal location for a relaxing dinner amongst friends or just two. I highly recommend the Crème Brûlée.
