He makes the best drinks in town and will even create something unique based on our tastes. We had so much fun at the bar last night that we skipped our dinner reservations in the dining room and enjoyed our anniversary dinner at the bar. This place is always a good time with great staff, food, and atmosphere. Cullen keeps us coming back for his excellent cocktails!“

“I fell in love with Baxter's this evening.

The food was amazing, the Brussels sprouts in particular but when I say the service was above and beyond, I mean it.

I noticed one of the waitress' earrings and commented that I liked them. She pointed me to another waitress named Paige who'd actually made them.

I told Paige I liked her work and wondered if I could purchase a set for my wife. She refused money, and gave me a pair for free.

I don't even have the words for how much I appreciate it.

Thank you so much!“

“The place got slammed as a result of some delayed flights. The crew on shift rolled up their sleeves and knocked out the orders with a smile. Ordered the southwest chicken wrap and was pleasantly surprised. The chicken was tender and flavorful, lettuce was crisp, and the cheese was, well cheesy. Great service, even when slammed. 5/5 would try again.“
