They have a great outdoor seating area with a food truck and a play area for kids. I believe dogs are welcome just not allowed in the turf. When we went inside to grab drinks, the bar staff was so kind and polite. The gentleman was patient with us while we asked to try a few samples and was even open to feedback! We even told our friends from back home about this place since they were visiting the area too. Most definitely must stop if you can!

Brewery #379 This…read morewas a lot bigger brewery than I expected with a huge tap list. The outdoor seating area was large enough to compete with the big box breweries. There were 2 food trucks when I went and a ton of people hanging out. I got a flight which is 5 beers here. I could have gotten 5 flights and I don't know if I would have been able to try them all. I did get a decent variety, a hazy IPA, a Pale Ale, a Hefe, a Stout and a Mullet Lite. What a great name for a beer lol. The The Alora Farming Double hazy IPA was my favorite amongst the 5 but all were solid. I've also bought a 4 pack of Dank Side of the Moon (another hoppy hazy IPA) and that one was phenomenal! Fun place to hang out and tons of options. I will be back

What a great locals dive bar!…read more We encountered lots of locals at the bar top and had some great small talk. A lot of the beers on tap are local and the prices are very reasonable. The grill serving beer was personable and happy to join in on the small talk and provide pointers for dinner spots. The parking lot is a little small and the main bar is only maybe 20 people big, but lots of outdoor seating!

We both loved our dishes and the banging shrimp appetizer and Caesar salads were a great addition. Wish we had room for the chocolate bread pudding, but didn't. Service was excellent as well.

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!

We had a party of 9 and 4 had the lasagna, one Nonas Meatloaf, one meatball sandwich, one spaghetti…read moreand meatballs, french dip and one char grilled chicken on a salad. On arrival we found when we got there that one couple inside seated at our table were waving to us but the windows are tinted so we couldn't see them. We saw another table arrive doing the same thing which brought a chuckle because we knew their friends could not see inside. We entered the building and there was no hostess to greet or direct us but the place is not that big so we were able to find the room our table was set up in. We had heard that martinis were a special for $5. I was all set to get a chocolate martini or some other flavor but when we got the drinks menu there was one Expresso Martini on the menu and I don't like coffee so I decided on a Long Island Tea. Others in the group had wine or beer. Price wasn't bad and we got a happy hour discount. There was a red pepper soup served as part of a meal-or salad and 6 of us had the soup, which was delicious. Tasted like an elevated creamy tomato soup and made you wish you had a grilled cheese sandwich to dunk in it. After our soup/salad there was a little wait for our entree's. The following report on the entrees found the grilled chicken salad with avocado, sliced almonds and feta Cheese was delicious with the chicken tasting like it was grilled on an open flame (maybe it was as we could smell char grill when entering the restaurant). The 4 lasagna eaters all agreed that it was very cheesy and lacking substance. They said you had to really dig deep through all most too much cheese to get to two layers of noodle and a little meat and sauce but it tasted good. They felt the online photo was misleading. The meatball sub was huge - like a foot long toasted bun with two very large meatballs, not something you could fit into your mouth but had to eat with a fork and knife. It was tasty. The spaghetti and meatballs and French dip had their plates cleaned and enjoyed their meals. The Nonas meat loaf was ok. I like my own homemade betterThe mashed potatoes creamy and I appreciated the ala dente fresh broccoli served with it. There was a comment that usually when you go to an Italian restaurant they serve you some bread but none was served here. My husband told me after we left that the chandelier right above me was caked with dust. Hopefully they have a spring cleaning coming up. The restroom was clean.
