“We had the most pleasant experience celebrating our anniversary at Baxters! From the moment we walked in, the ambience was absolutely perfect — warm, and beautifully set for a special evening. The owner and servers were incredibly kind and friendly, making us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for throughout our visit. The food was delicious — every dish was flavorful, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. To top it all off, they surprised us with a celebratory toast and a song for our anniversary, which made the night even more memorable and special. That personal touch meant so much to us. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Baxters to anyone looking for great food, amazing service, and a truly special experience!“

Parking: There’s always parking and if there’s not can always park in the street !“

“One of my San Francisco Bay Area Secrets..., that is no longer a secret.

Great Bar and Restaurant; old school making drinks (yes, heavy on the alcohol), a wide selection of worldly beers on the menu, a few beers on tap, and a good selection of amount of food that comes out of that kitchen of theirs.

I have been going to the Warehouse since I was a child, when my parents would take me there for dinner way back in the 1980s. Plus, there is a 11-foot tall polar bear, with another black bear for photography. Next door (random hours) is a clothing, antique store and on Sunday's (spring and summer months) is a live band.

If not live music, there is a jukebox with a very wide selection of music to choose from (with cash or on-line), only one (1) pool table, but because there is so much history in that place, there is no need for any activities like pool.

Overall, one of the best drinking holes in the Bay Area. We Love the Warehouse and shall never go to long without a visit.“

“My dinner partner and I both agree that the physical atmosphere, and food were excellent. The place was almost empty on a Sunday night yet the service was mediocre. We had to keep tracking down the waiter for our hot water for the tea, box for take away, etc. Inattentive. The staff also seemed unhappy or dissatisfied with their jobs. The prices have gone up so don’t feel we got value for our money“

“I love this bar/club. It's a small dive bar with great shows. I saw Manic Hispanic this week. I was up front and center. A friend saw the same band last week in SoCal but was separated from the band by the typical bigger show barricade. The Ivy Room gets packed, but what a fantastic place to see bands!“

“We walked in here not expecting anything! We came with an open mind and an empty stomach. Pleasantly surprised by the food, the calamari was crispy with a very delicious spiced batter no oil or grease. The Caesar salad with shrimp was awesome. They did a nice job of preparing and cleaning the shrimp and they grilled them exactly how you should, Cesar dressing needs a little anchovy and pepper. Grated Parmesan on top on request! The pizza was delicious although the way it was fired was a little strange. It could’ve been a little more crispy on the bottom, but the flavor was right and it was an honest bistro style pizza. Ice cream and coffee at the end was great - guys get a nespresso machine for an after dinner coffee shot! Overall it was a fun and honest Italian dinner with quality. I would definitely return and reccomend a visit. The website has some cool stories about the location and chef is doing a great job here.“

“Just discovered this place. The foos was great and so was the service“

“Great music venue, small feel with top notch sound and production, connected to a great ale house with good food, full bar and super professional staff.“

“This was my first time dining there. Definitely not my last. First class atmosphere, Customer Service and food. I see other items on the menu I want to try. And the best part is the locale. I only live 2.5 miles away from a top notch dining venue on the water. Fantastic!!“

“Never found a place with better people running it“

“Delicious food! Great Bar and desserts! Super friendly staff and owners.“

“Deliciousness for value and warmth for atmosphere. The host is always welcoming and service accommodating. New favorite place for life. 🤓“

“Great place to celebrate my moms birthday!! 🎉“

“Delicious gluten free fried chicken. I have celiac and had a surprisingly hard time finding good gf places to eat in the Bay Area so this was a relief. Very reasonably priced for the area. I found the chicken at this location to be more tender than at their other location, but have only been to each once.“

“awesome drinks, ambiance and some good food.“

“This place is one of the best whisky bars I've ever been to. They have a phenomenal selection across styles and ages, including some rare releases from closed down distilleries, or some vintage bottles you can enjoy as cocktails. The staff are super welcoming. The bar is relaxed and if you didn't look at the drinks closely, you might think it's a dive bar (in the best possible way). Definite recommend for a chance to try some special drinks.“

“Visiting from out of state. Went here for Father’s Day celebration . Excellent food and service.“

“Great views and good food“

“Comida nueva en promoción“

“Quite an intimate bar, good sound level good video and great bartenders. Small but strong.“

“From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Our waitress was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel like valued guests. It's clear they genuinely care about providing a great dining experience.

The food was absolutely delicious! The mango margaritas are hands down my favorite, they're perfectly balanced, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. The chile rellenos plate was incredible, with flavorful peppers, delicious filling, and just the right amount of sauce. Every bite tasted fresh and homemade. Reminds me of my mom's cooking. I will definitely be coming back for the flavors and feeling of home.“

“It’s the best Restaurant in town came with Family and we had a great time! Food was great and drinks 🍹 we all loved the dessert as well! Just amazing service and food! My Favorite for sure! 2914 College Ave Berkeley Ca“

“GREAT night with my 4 year old (some reviews mistakenly say 21+ but that’s NOT true). Food is delicious and pour your own pints (lol not for my kid) SO. CUTE. great service for a huge group of us post work on an early Sunday eve. Strong rec!“

“I've visited several times and I try to pick something different everytime. However, their fries are amazing!! So much so that I've ordered them my last 3 visits. The chili fries are the best!! The fries are so crispy!! So freaking delicious!!“

“This is my favorite spot to catch a game while enjoying incredible BBQ and drinks.The barbecue here is the real deal, the beef brisket sandwich and crispy tacos are my go to’s and the sides like the oxtail poutine are pure comfort food. They have a fully stocked bar with an excellent selection of beers on tap and an extensive selection of bourbons and whisky’s. More importantly they have a Toki Highball machine!! The staff is super friendly and even remembers your drink of choice! Go check this place out!“

“East Bay Spice is a fantastic spot for anyone who loves bold, flavorful cuisine! Every dish is perfectly seasoned with authentic spices, creating a rich and satisfying experience. The menu offers a great variety, and everything tastes fresh and delicious. The staff are welcoming and attentive, making you feel right at home. The ambiance is cozy yet vibrant—perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. Definitely a place you’ll want to come back to again and again!“

“I went here last year with a group of about 15. Ben was our server and he was so on top of it. It's like he was reading our minds every time he came to our table. Everyone in our party (ages 5-50) was so satisfied with our meal. No complaints at all.

Several of us went back last weekend. We aren't local to Vallejo so we wanted to eat somewhere where we wouldn't be disappointed while we we in town. There was no wait and we were pleasantly surprised that Ben was our server again. He somehow remembered our group and, again, was on top of everything. My 5 month old grandson was with us and Ben's knowledge with keeping infants preoccupied in restaurants was outstanding.

The food... excellent. The atmosphere... excellent. The service... top tier.

If Ben ran for president, I would vote for him“

“Really nice friendly vibes. I like how the environment and music was while I played on one of their many pool tables. The bartender (Andre) was attentive and friendly. He is also engaging and has allot of knowledge about drinks. He helped guide my experience and we decided on a Manhattan (which was perfect). I will definitely return soon!!!“

“Great view of the waterfront along with great food!“
