“Food is always good. Can’t go wrong 😁👍🏼“

“First visit had a pasta dish, the food was so-so, second visit was for the Christmas Eve menu…..prime rib was PERFECT, service great both times!“

“Amazing food including the New York steak“

“Wow had no clue this place was located inside of Nordstrom. I took my mother here so she could so some shopping and she suggested we eat here.She got the burger and some clam chowder. I got the French dip with some garlic Mayo on the side. DELICIOUS!!!We enjoyed our meals and the service was top notch. I will return.“

“We had a wonderful birthday dinner at the Citrus Grill. The food was deliciously prepared and well presented. The service was professional and attentive. Chris Presilla (Food & Beverage Manager) and Chef Travis (Executive Chef) were most helpful throughout the planning process. It was a large table of 11. They made the whole dining experience a scrumptious and fun one. It is located in the hotel and may get overlooked. It is a great place for casual dining and for special occasions. The bartenders are friendly and mix a mean cocktail. Check it out.“

“This is what we had tonight but, they have excellent food and service every time.“

“Have done both the Thai for Dinner and the Sunday Brunch. Great food great service. Going to make. Sunday Brunch a regular stop after Mass“

“The food is fresh and delicious, with a nice variety of options. I often order from them for work meetings and their service is always amazing. They even deliver to the office on short notice, that is rare and gives reason to celebrate! Great staff!

Vegetarian options: You can order pretty much anything on their menu without meat.“

“I am slowly working my way through the whole menu the sea bass was excellent today so was the salmon my friend enjoyed I've had the braised beef and we both had the chicken tenders we will continue to enjoy what is offer especially those new items that just came in. chef Raul and the crew know what they're doing very lovely outing every time“

“Came here with my boyfriend as we heard they have a great happy hour and they sure did! We enjoyed a half yard, a cocktail each, a shot each (get the Friday night vibe right lol) 2 poke nachos (our favorite) & off the happy hour we got shitake mushroom noodles which were SO good! Atmosphere was lively, service was good! Definitely a nice spot to have some good food and catch some sports or to just hangout.

Parking: Parking is at the Veranda shopping center so parking is can be difficult at times but it’s a given with the location.“

“Excellent! We had a great experience!“

“Every detail has been thought through! Best fried chicken and mashed potatoes I have ever had. Coffee and coconut macaroon were ridiculous!!!“

“Fast food that doesn’t give you indigestion! (5/5 Green Stars) On the downside – the items (e.g., fries) are not dripping in fat. On the plus side, the items are not dripping in fat! It may take a while to get used to the healthier version of fast food, but think of it this way – it’s actually nourishing your body instead of poisoning it. The signature burger, made from organic quinoa and mushrooms is so much better for you than a burger made from meat. Same deal for the planet, with organic and 100% plant-based ingredients. I’m giving Next Level Burger 5/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact for the following reasons: • 100% plant-based. Obvious major benefits to animals, society and the planet. • Organic ingredients. Again, benefits to the planet and society. • All packaging, down to the straws, is compostable. That’s the best way to manage the waste stream for this kind of restaurant. • Next Level has supported groups like BLM and Covid healthcare workers. • Founders advocate for plant-based food to deal with climate.“

“The place offers a great vibe that’s perfect for a casual outing or a special occasion. The service is excellent - friendly and attentive staff with beautiful smiles, make the experience enjoyable from start to finish. The menu has a good selection of dishes, ensuring there’s something for everyone, and the food is consistently well-prepared. Salad bowls and juicy burgers can be a great pick. Some good deserts to choose from.

The main dining area is spacious and thoughtfully designed, creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. For those who enjoy dining al fresco, the patio is a nice touch. Parking is convenient with a pay-as-you-go option available in the back.

Overall, Batch & Brine is a solid choice for good food and great ambiance here in Lafayette!“

“Fresh yummy food with magical drinks.Excellent service with very welcoming staff.Enjoyed the fritters ,poke bowl and all the other dishes we tried.The outdoor ambiance with great food and company was over the top“

“Great food!“

“best sushi and cheap!!! will come again!!!“

“What a great find on a quick work trip to Benecia! I wish there were more stars to give!

Baxter’s has a welcoming vibe when you first walk in, and it gets even better after you meet some of the team! My server, Michelle, absolutely made the evening for me! She had some great menu suggestions and top-notch service and was great to chat with! Kenneth also made sure that everything tasted great, and I was enjoying my visit! Hats off to the Chef and her ability to create some unique dishes!

I appreciated the menu, which has a little bit of everything. I instantly got that feeling that I was in for a treat. To kick things off, I went with the Baked Brie En Croute, which was outstanding! My main entree was a tough choice, though. There was a special, Gumbo Pasta, which I had never encountered before and piqued my interest. Let me tell you, this special should be on the menu, and if it is available when you stop in, it's a must!

I was torn about dessert, but I went with the New Orleans Bread Pudding at Michelle's suggestion! I'm sure all the desserts are fantastic, but this one has got to be at the top of the list!

All in all, if you can swing by Baxter’s, don't pass it up! Well worth it!“

“Visited Crush'd for my birthday and it exceeded expectations! The atmosphere was great and you can tell the everything is well thought out, from the decor to the tableware.

We both went with a wine flight and had excellent recommendations from Jamie. Decided to splurge on the sturgeon caviar and it was served with the perfect accoutrement, highlight of the evening. Our server Shane recommended the duck fat potatoes (the Aioli was mindblowing) and Wagyu Tartine, both were fantastic!

Cannot wait to go back, 11 out of 10!“

“Experience exceptional dining at Jack restaurant, where the waitstaff and bartender provide top-notch service with a smile. They take the time to ask about your meal and ensure that every detail meets your satisfaction.“

“It is such a beautiful little place. It has a cozy atmosphere. The food was fabulous. We had a party of 13. We had a wide range of delicious food. Lamb ..Chicken Filet Mignon.. Mussels .. Prawns... Sausage . with pastas spinach mashed potatoes green peppers it was all just so good. I totally recommend“

“Recently enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Postino's The food was wonderful, and the service excellent. It was a perfect al fresco dining experience“

“You have to go at least once. I like the staff and the bar is close to the water with good outdoor seating available. They have bar food but have a good dinner as well. During the warmer months, they had outdoor music on Sunday's, but the owner was talking about getting some full-time entrainment at some point.

Parking: Parking can be tough at times

Kid-friendliness: Kids are allowed, just not at the bar.“

“Great place to have dinner outside at day and night“

“Incredible staff, very dog-friendly, terrific menu! You will be thrilled! Angela“

“Friendly, attentive service. Perfect fish and chips, (crunchy batter, soft, moist fish, un-soggy fries), paired great with a double IPA. Cobb salad was loaded, and very fresh. Iron Horse Trail proximity gives biking and walking options, but there's plenty of off-street car parking.“

“Great selection of beers and wine. I've been back 2 times(many times now) and have had a great time each visit. Nice place to watch sports. The bartenders are all nice, friendly and attentive.I still need to explore the food menu. To be continued...Part 2: the food is amazing for bar food and the menu has many different types to choose from; Burgers, wings, lumpia, wraps, and much more. They offer many different dipping sauces. And some are uniquely made in house.They also offer free wi fi ???Update to review: The food has gotten even better! You will find a full menu with about 50 items and specials every night to keep things new. Every thing I've ordered has been almost gourmet level and delicious. The ownership is doing a superb job on the menu and food preparation.“

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

“This spot is the most absolute amazing food and drinks and service out there. Every single food item I had has been outstanding!“

“This place is a hidden gem with amazing Korean food. All the soups and BiBimBop are served in the hot stone bowls which crisps up the rice in the BBB.l and the soups come out boiling.The Sae Gam Tang, La Kalbi, and Japchae were the highlights of what we ordered. Everything was super delicious and came out very quick.Plenty of Ban Chan served with the meal and they specifically said we can keep ordering more of the ban chan.It is attached to a bowling alley which just adds to the ambiance. I heard someone order a cheeseburger so I think you can get non Korean food as well.“

“Spectacular !! Super fun. Great food. Bend over backwards to make sure your happy service. Love this place. Just not quite sure what to call it. Baxter’s - The Speakeasy - or The Office. Whatever they’re calling themselves, they’re great.Try the scallops . . . and the bread pudding.“

“Love.this.place.100% AWESOME! From the moment we walked in, we felt like guests in a welcoming place, after a long day of appointments, we were in search of refuge in the form of chips and salsa, a stiff drink and maybe a plate of nachos before an hour long trek back home to SF. We had the street tacos, rice and beans with chips and salsa. Delicious is an understatement! If you want awesome food, a nice place to eat, indoors or out, OR you prefer street side at a table to people watch, indoors for air conditioning, or there's ALSO - the back courtyard with shade and privacy, plenty of seating, fans for hot days or heat lamps for cold nights... THIS PLACE ROCKS! I may regret telling people how awesome this place is but it needs to be recognized. We are picky. This is only my 2nd review...EVER. Thank you, 709 <3 Joel and Heather“

“Excellent dining experience. Top notch food as well as a wonderful staff. Great ambiance too!“

“longport is delicious food served by a friendly face at a fast pace, in a good way. I'd recommend this establishment to anyone who loves sea food but, luckily if you don't like sea food, they have some other fun dishes for you.“

“Camarones 🍤 coconut muy deliciosos me encantaron“

“Comida nueva en promoción“

“Had a wide variety of foods on the menu. I personally thought that the appetizers for the most part were better than the main dishes. The desert was amazing!! One interesting menu item that was surprisingly good was the pear quesadilla. The staff was incredibly friendly as well. Least favorite food item here would be the chicken wings!“

“Lovely ambiance, great food! Wonderful service! Great place for groups!“

“Top rate place to eat. First of all the noise level is low. We had a wonderful seat for 4. The service was the best ever. Very patient and asked of several times if we were ready to order. Most places on a Friday night just want to rush you out. And then the food was so fresh and tasty. I was able to order their wonderful soup and an appetizer. Just the right amount to eat for an older person. Others had the scallop dinner and the ribs. And one person ordered a hamburger. I highly recommend the place..“
