I'll be honest--when we pulled up to Basil & Baxter's Kitchen for a group dinner, I had no idea…read morewhat to expect. From the outside, the place looks small and quite unassuming. But as the saying goes: never judge a book by its cover. We were absolutely blown away by the experience. Despite the modest exterior, the food is nothing short of world-class. I ordered the ribeye, and it was cooked to absolute perfection--tender, flavorful, and easily one of the best steaks I've had in a long time. Since we were a large group, we ended up ordering a significant portion of the menu. Between us, we tried the fish, shrimp, and various pasta plates. It felt like we sampled almost everything they offer, and every single dish was an absolute hit. It's rare to find a place where the entire table is equally impressed with their meal, but Basil & Baxter's pulled it off effortlessly. Beyond the incredible kitchen, the service was outstanding. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and handled our group with the kind of professionalism that makes a night out feel special. If you're in Niceville, do not pass this place up. It might look humble from the street, but the flavors and hospitality inside are massive. We will definitely be back!

I was fork ready when I returned to my room and forget to capture footage of the pretty pie. It was so delicious.

Took two stars because they served only black coffee with half and half creamer and sweet and low sugar. I didn't even drink my coffee... no other milk or sweetener options. Also, the menu only serves pork products. They didn't offer any chicken or beef substitutes for those who cannot have pork. We ended up skipping on the breakfast and just getting the donuts. We arrived at 7:30 am with 2 groups in front of us and a line was out the door by 8 am for donuts and dining. Dining room was packed upon arrival!

Im guessing she was a manager stopped by asked if we had been greeted yet, she took our drink order and offered some bread (it was good). It was still quite awhile until the server came to the table. We ordered some appetizers and then eventually our meals. The pizza did not live up to the reviews and my vodka sauce was lacking flavor.
